Pros: efficient, very little wait time even though we were 30 minutes early, saw us before our scheduled appointment, got an appointment as a new patient the same week we called, allowed us to bring our 1 year old son, provided us with clear instructions, Rebecca is helpful Most of the reason for the 2 stars is subjective and others may be just fine with the doctor. First, when we walked into the office, we were not greeted. The greeting consisted of "Name," which was meant as a question and came across as a matter of fact statement. We were then escorted to a room to wait as we were informed that there is no waiting in the lobby. As we had our 1 year old with us, it was challenging to keep him entertained and out of trouble in the room, so we took him back out to the waiting room, and they were ok with this. We were early and the doctor was very prompt and on time, and saw us earlier than our scheduled appointment. When the doctor entered the room, he did not greet either my husband or myself. My husband had to offer his hand to shake and introduce himself. This seemed a bit odd since he was a new patient. The doctor was very matter of fact and assessed the situation quickly. There was one thing we had to request he check, which he did accomodate. His bedside manner causes the lower rating as it is not what we prefer in a physician. Specifically, I asked for clarification on something he described, and his response was surprising. He asked me if I knew what the word he used meant and then proceeded to say that the question was a question only a woman would ask. We think he was trying to be humourous, regardless, we did not care for the comment. Later in the visit, he made an attempt to get to know us and asked about our work situations. My husband advised he is a stay at home parent, and the doctor responded with "So, you make your wife do all the work?" This type of judgement and lack of understanding is certainly not new to us, however was shocking to have a physician say to us. Anyone who has ever been a stay at home parent knows exactly how much work it is to be home all day with a toddler. read more

I'm going with BIG jerk. Dr. Rochat has terrible manners. I went back in Nov. 2014 because I was having problems with my throat. He is not engaging and makes you feel like you are really putting him out. A year later I went back because my symptoms were still persisting and getting worse. On the second visit he walked in and didn't even say hello. He started talking to me about things he "said" he told me on my last visit, which we had never discussed. He spent 5 minutes with me, without even listening to what I was trying to say. He is the take this and come back in a month type of dr, not one who wants to really find out what is the best solution for his patient. I know there are not a lot of options in Placerville, but I will go elsewhere from now on. Don't waste your time or money. On the upside, his office gal is lovely. Why she works there is a mystery to me. read more

I will never see this office again. Rebecca is what keeps this man afloat. To bad she is retired now. I have dealt with this man since the 90's he has always been just like what Krista K says, the only reason I've stayed on is because he was the only show in town. He was rude to my mother treated her like she was a dummy and really was in a hurry when he cleaned her ears and really hurt this 82 year old woman then just barged out of the room never to return? Now to my last visit with him on 8-11-17. In 2011 he sent me to California sleep solutions for a sleep study after a full night with them in there sleep lab in Folsom they concluded i had moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. I have been wearing my full face mask every night ever since. My health turned around and I felt better then I had for years. I turned 65 last December had to go on Medicare first thing they did was stop my C pap supplies until I have a new sleep study. Guess what? Cal sleep is the only gig in the state pretty much offices and sleep labs everywhere,but only one lab is Medicare approved and it's in down town sacramento right around 50th and broadway. They hooked me all up and said good night that was 11 pm. Every time I would start to fall asleep someone would run in and fiddle with the wires or the noisy air conditioner would start up and wake me. Finley about 1:30am I told them I could not sleep with that A/C unit in the room and them coming in and fiddling with the wires all the time and left. Two days later Rochat calls me to let me know I no longer have sleep apnea as they concluded from my sleep study. What? I asked him and told him I never got to sleep he told me they don't lie he has used them for 20 years and told my wife I don't have sleep apnea. He is a 100% A hole if you want to be treated like a complete idiot then go see him !!! read more

One friend told me this doctor was a "jerk." Another friend told me he was great. Obviously, I wasn't sure what to expect. And....I could not have been more pleased. "Rebecca," got me an appointment "before the weekend" so I "wouldn't have to be uncomfortable." I was given a thorough exam by the audiologist. I then saw Dr. Rochat, and he could not have been nicer, kinder, or more caring. He did a complete exam, explained everything, and wrote down instructions. He recommended an over the counter medication to help. He gave me good advice, that made sense. I will go back, and recommend him to my friends. Great experience! read more

Worst possible bed side manor ever! Not so interested in my condition as it was to belittle me in front of his office staff and waiting room patients about a $35 bill that was not billed properly to our insurance. No tack whatsoever! Never would I go back again! Even his office staff said they were sorry to me after his fit was over. Shame on you! read more
