List of David Wells-Roth, Md's Reviews
I am so thankful! Dr. David Wells-Roth is an awesome surgeon and just a good person! His team was welcoming and professional. They were caring and kind. Dr. David Wells-Roth and his team have made it a good experience for me.
Very good doctor. Cares for his patients. I was nervous about the possibility of surgery, but after speaking with Dr. David Wells-Roth, he put my nerves at ease. I have no problem with him doing my surgery if he feels it is necessary.
This was the worse experience I have ever had with a Dr. I have been in more pain then before he put his hand's on me . I was left with a fluid pocket on my spine and the pain at S1 has me on pain meds 24/7 he never said he would mess with my old fusion but he did saying it was a bad job Please Please Stay away from this Guy ! Just under stand you can't sue because they have a 2 year law so if you sue do it the first year . My dog's Vet is a better Dr.
Surgery 2019 Dr Wells Roth performed surgery on me, but it didn’t go well, and during my hospital stay and immediately after surgery not once did he check on me! Just his assistant. I was not happy about that. After office visit 5 minutes in and out. I would never recommend him to anyone!
Stay away from this guy. he is so full of himself he addresses me as BRO! After over 4 years of every type of treatment for my back pain, he looked at my MRI and said 1 hour surgery to remove 1 disc and I will be out of pain. When I woke up in Recovery I asked the nurse if the clock was right and she said yes, why? The surgery took 5 1/2 hours, he removed 2 discs, fixed 3 other hesitated discs and installed a Cage in my back. That was over 3 years ago and I have been in excruciating pain ever since! When I looked him up he was no longer in the Groups and I finally found him and he said I needed an Implant in my back to dial out the pain. Good luck with that!!!
Front desk very rude and unhelpful
Dr David Wells-Roth is the amazing doctor and surgeon. He is very knowledgeable with great sense of humor and always with smile and positive attitude. A spine surgery he performed with such professionalism helped me very much and I am currently on a recovery path with my pain subsiding dramatically. Thank You Dr. Wells-Roth for You great service!!!
Went to see Dr. Well-Roth at his office. He did C-scans and he said I needed back surgery. Dr. David Wells Roth did 2 back surgeries last year in 2022. First Surgery at St Claire's Hospital in Denville. He did the surgery and released after only 7 hours. The back surgery he preformed on me was a failed surgery. Now I suffer every day for what he did to my back surgery which was L5/L4 which was already done by a previous only 4 years ago. He was supposed to fuse L4 to L3 & L2 but he tried to remove the top of the fusion of L5 which he was not able to do.On my first visit after my surgery there was a white ball at the top of the incision. We said it was an infection Dr Wells Roth said it wasn't he told me to finish my antibiotics and it will be ok. We left his office I got in the car and all this fluid came pouring out of my back I was soaking wet. There was a pin hole at the bottom that grew more than 3/4 of an inch where the fluid was coming from. Call Wells Roth he said clean it with alcohol cover it with gauze. Now it was leaking from all areas of my back had gauze most of my back. After 2 weeks he said to go to his surgical center where he opened most of the incision and cleaning each area one by one. He put in 8 sutures and told us to go home and come back in a week. I'm having more issues after that surgery was told he could have hit a nerve cause numbness in my feet not able to move or do things that I was able to do before the surgery. I have been physically active exercising and doing upper body work for over 30 plus years just can't do anything close at all. I can walk on a treadmill at a slow pace and my elliptical at a slow pace also. I'm so sorry Dr. Wells-Roth did my surgery.
All I can said is run as fast as you can! I had my second cervical fusion with him of which he showed 40 minutes late for. Once the surgery was done he did not want see at all just kept giving more narcotics. I went to another doctor who had redo the surgery plus fix what wells Roth didn’t.
Great experience with my surgery from beginning to end, Mr.Wells Roth is an awesome doctor. The staff at the office was extremely helpful.
