Kevin Aaron Roth's Online Review Report Card

Very abrupt and following the complication, he made his visits very infrequently.

Dr. Roth performed a surgery on my leg after I fractured it skiing. When I saw him after the accident he took time to explain me what the surgery would be, side effects of performing it vs letting the leg heal in its own, and recovery process. Even before the surgery we talked over the phone as I had more questions going into the surgery.The surgery went very well and I got into PT a little after. After a few months I'm back running and exercising as I used to! Thanks Dr. Roth!

After some debilitating pain that kept me from walk suddenly one morning, I found myself at the John Muir urgent care. A few imaging services later, I was having a surgery consult with Dr. Roth for a ganglion cyst. He removed it via a general anesthesia surgery. He is polite, thorough, and patient-centered.Everything with Dr. Roth was 5-stars. Not a fan of the Fremont surgery center anesthesiologist... but that's for another review.

Such a frustrating experience. I saw Dr. Roth for bilateral hip pain which has been increasing over the past 6 months after undergoing a microdiscectomy. He evaluated me and then ordered an MRI. My insurance denied the MRI and the office said he would be appealing the denial and I should hear back by the end of the week. Fast forward 4 weeks and 5 calls later, he still hadn't filed the appeal. Then, he decided to also place a referral for me to start PT, which I had already been actively enrolled in and particating for 5 months. Ugh. I ended up starting fresh and scheduling an an appt with a new orthopedist. What a waste of time and money.

Have been to Dr Roth a number of times for shoulder and ankle injuries. He listens and is very thoughtful, and also takes the time to explain things. When he didn't think he was the best person for the job, he referred me to another specialist within the practice.At times, I have waited for a decent amount of time past appointment time (e.g. 45mins), but for me personally, that's pretty consistent everywhere, and it's definitely worth it to see a good doctor. Would you rather be rushed through your appointment and be right on time? I wouldn't.I am still debating whether I will go in for the shoulder surgery he has recommended, but I feel I have all the information from him to make a decision.

This is an older review. I saw Dr. Roth in early 2017. I had a Baker's Cyst and had an MRI for him to review. He explained the various options. When I asked about an arthroscopic surgery, he told me I was too old. Then he realized he wasn't appropriate so he added he was too old for one too. He needs to pay attention to his patients. He brought up family as a way to converse with me. It/he was awkward and I decided he wasn't the right orthopedic doc for me. I think he expected me to say yes to TKR but he was the first ortho I saw. Even if he was the second or third consult, I would not have chosen him. From the reviews I've read, I think it would benefit him to learn how to relate to his patients. Don't tell me I'm older; I already know that. There are more tactful ways of talking to one's patients than telling them they're too old for something.

Dr Roth operated on me to repaired my rotator cuff that had been completely ripped apart in a horrible fall. I can't say enough good things about this talented surgeon. He came very highly recommended, and now, five months after surgery, I wholeheartedly agree. Aside from his impressive skill in the operating room, he is also straightforward, punctual, honest, reassuring, good humored, patient and very "present" during appointments. He listens very carefully to your experience. Most of the time I've been on zoom for appointments, due to the pandemic, but he seems very comfortable, and quickly puts one at ease. My surgery and healing went far better than I had even hoped for. He's a great surgeon, and has that kindness one hopes for in a doctor. Oh, one more thing- my scars from the surgery incisions are so tiny, they are invisible.

Dr Roth made sure all my questions got answered and had great bedside manner. He isn't one of those surgery pushing surgeons and talks about options in depth. Highly recommend!

I saw Dr Kevin Roth a few months ago. I was able to see him the day after I called for an appointment. He was recommended to me by a friend. I had injured my knee earlier in the week. He diagnosed it as a sprained mcl. X rays were taken and after a very thorough exam in which my knee was put through different motions, the diagnosis was made. The office was extremely professional and efficient. I only had to wait a couple of minutes. Dr. Roth introduced himseld, was very professional and thorough. Parking around the area was sufficient and there is an adjacent garage which happens to be quite expensive. Dr. Roth recommended physical therapy which I am going through at this time. I would recommend Dr. Roth to anyone who has a need for orthopedics.

I recently went to see Dr. Ross to discuss a meniscus tear that I had incurred during a basketball game.Dr. Ross was thorough, professional and exhibited a very calm bedside manner. He made me feel at ease during a very stressful time - I'm very active and was quite concerned that this procedure was going to limit my physical activity for a long period of time. Dr. Roth took extra time to discuss different options and allayed any concerns I had regarding down-time. During the day of the procedure, he spent extra time discussing some last-minute changes and his experience again provided a calming presence.The procedure was completed without any complications and I was running at full speed - five days after the surgery! Dr. Roth provided an extensive video of the surgery, providing invaluable explanations and documentation of the procedure, complete with anatomical descriptions of my knee. This was a welcome surprise and extremely interesting for me to have for future reference.My knee now feels stronger than prior to the injury - thank you for your excellent care!
