Dr. Richard Rooney, MD

Thank you, someone has blessed Dr. Rooney with a very skilled and professional hand, having had my left hip replaced by another skilled surgeon I would rate Dr. Rooney as one of the most gifted and skilled surgeons. Follow up and scheduling was easy, I would advise anyone needing medical attention in his field to please schedule .

My mom broke her femur and Dr. Rooney did her surgery. It has been over a week and a half since her surgery, and we have yet to hear from Dr. Rooney. He is horrible at communication and will not call my mom or family and let us know how long she has to stay off of her right leg, how severe or mild the break of the femur was, post op care, etc. He also did not do a referral for physical therapy which she was told she needed by the P.T. at the hospital. PCP sent us back to Rooney for referral, but Dr. Rooney does not call his 84-year-old patient or her family back. We have tried numerous times for him to contact us. We have questions that are serious for her healing! Please know that this is the way he treated an elderly woman who was at his mercy for a fall that left her femur broken! We shall continue to spread the word!! My dad was a doctor in Lompoc for over 42 years and I thank God he was not here to witness such disrespect from a physician. My dad called patients back!!

He did an L-2 through S-1 spinal fusion on my old 70 year old back. Big surgery, excellent outcome. Knows his stuff! Very pleasant and well informed.

Awesome surgeon. I got the best results and explanations about the cause and treatment of disc hernia of the many surgeons I have seen.

Very knowledgeable physician!

Dr. Rooney performed a very complex lumbar fusion surgery on my back due to a condition that was aggravated by a rear-end auto collision. He also performed a cervical laminectomy on my wife. In both instances, Dr. Rooney’s stellar professional qualifications and consummate skill produced superior outcomes.
