I am writing to share my experience with Dr. Sean Hoffman at the Rothman Institute. Over the course…read moreof three visits spanning nearly twelve weeks, I was repeatedly misdiagnosed and never received a physical examination. Despite my continued complaints of significant pain, I was told that "it just takes time." Eventually, I sought a second opinion from another physician, who correctly diagnosed my condition and performed surgery. I am now healing and recovering well.

So right now I am sitting here with no appointment, waiting for the next 48 hours for a return call. I will never recommend Rothman to anyone.
