Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding. Class Act! Amazing Staff!
He changed my life. While there is no silver bullet for the pain I live with, he has done everything possible to help me and my family find a path forward from a horrific injury that left me in constant severe pain. He is professional, ethical, and compassionate, taking time to listen and acting as diagnosis drives treatment. The staff he has exceeds my expectations. I had to move out of the area and still travel 12 hours each way to see a wonderfully compassionate doctor at the top of his field. Even my 11-year-old adores him and Lauren!

Dr Rosenow made me feel extremely comfortable going into the very scary surgeries. I cannot say enough about the exemplary care I received from him and his team during these tough times for me and my family. He truly is a master of his craft and I am blessed to have been in his care.

I wouldn't choose any other surgeon or hospital. I had 2 surgeries done by Dr. Rosenow, in 2008 to remove a brain tumor, that caused me to have epilepsy since I was 10, around 1989. When I found out I had this 2nd tumor, he had a whole team he consulted with, oncologist, epileptologist, neurologist, etc to go over all my options & was very clear about the surgical process. After the surgeries, I went almost 3 years without a seizure & in 2011, I only had about 3 seizures, each in different months & now I haven't had a seizure in almost 9 years, since 2011. He also consulted with me on any proper epidural, procedures to have, etc when I was going to deliver my child in 2015.

We are happy to have Dr. Rosenow and his incredible team on our side. Dr. Rosenow is not a sugar coating sort of surgeon/doctor. However, he laid out the expectation of the surgery and so far the recovery perfectly accurate.

Dr. Rosenow performed surgery on me to implant a spinal cord stimulator. When we first went to meet him, to determine if he would be the one I would trust performing work on my spine, he was very generous with his time and explained everything to the level of detail my husband and I needed. It is evident that he is passionate about his field, extremely knowledgeable and competent, and can communicate well with his patients. He is a very kind person.
