Philip Roth Jr., MD

Upon returning from Australia almost a year ago, I found myself without a doctor.
Since my sister and brother in law had been patients of Dr. Roth for many years, they recommended him. I had to wait on a list for a couple of months but it was
SO worth it.
I love Dr. Roth and his entire staff. They are so different than others I've been
with. Almost never have to wait, phone anytime, etc. I cannot say enough in
in their honor. Being a senior, there are several ailments that Dr. Roth has
taken care of. Not only do I feel better, I am able to get out with my family more.
and alone. I even bought my own car and can drive myself to see them now.
Thank you, Dr. Roth and staff too. Love

Dr. Roth is not only a great doctor in medical application, he is adept at applying all the necessary functions that are always present in an exceptional physician. Recently, after suffering a severe heart attack and being unconcious for hours, I awoke in CCU early in the morning and the first person I see is my private care physician - Dr. Roth. Not any of the ologists, but my doctor. He attended me regularly and promptly in all aspects of my continuing recovery process. He practices daily with a quiet steady confidence that is so valuable in dealing with sick and injured patients. I appreciate you Doc.

I first met Doctor Roth when he was an intern. When he began his family practice, I and my wife agreed that he was to be our family physician. That decision was one we have never regretted.

Through several years my wife and I had our scheduled physicals without a great amount of medical problems being found. Then, my wife was diagnosed with diabetes, and soon after, a cholesterol imbalance. As a result, her physicals became more meaningful. Mine, however, remained uneventful. Then about ten years ago, as Dr Roth during my annual physical was saying that all my tests were in the good range, he was making a last check of my chest and heart with his stethoscope. He uttered a very ominous UH OH. I asked him what that was about. He said that he had detected a swelling in the main artery in my abdomen. He made arrangements for me to see a specialist, who, after a scan, verified what Dr Roth had discovered. I was told I had to have a stent inserted in the blood vessel. However, before that surgery, I had to see a heart specialist. That doctor found that I had a small blockage in a blood vessel in my heart. I had to undergo two attempts to remove that abnormality - to no avail. I chose to proceed with the stent surgery. I still visit both specialists annually. It is obvious to me that Dr Roth's thoroughness that generated the UH OH had save me from severe and maybe dire consequences.
Sometime later, I had a hernia in my lower abdomen. One day it got much larger and was quite painful. I saw Dr Roth who said I needed surgery immediately. He made a phone call, I went to the hospital, was operated on that same night and was home recovering the next morning. Thanks to Dr Roth, all was done immediately and successfully.
About two years ago, following my wife's physical, Dr Roth had her undergo a chest scan. A small spot was discovered in a lobe of her long. As a result she had radiation treatments which were successful in neutralizing the cancer. However, during further examinations, a spot was discovered in her liver. She then underwent both radiation and chemotherapy for this new malady. Both were successful. As with me, Dr Roth's thoroughness in having her tested, averted severe and possibly dire consequences.
I have a daughter who also is a patient of Dr Roth. He found that she had a thyroid problem. I went with her to see a specialist. He was seated facing a computer, did not even look up as we entered, and said, simply, be seated. Then, still facing the computer, asked a few questions, wrote a prescription, said for her to see the nurse to schedule a follow-up appointment, and to send in the next patient. I am sure he did not even know what my daughter looked like.
My wife's two cancer doctors also are computerized, although not as much as the thyroid doctor. They both spend half the visit recovering, reviewing, or adjusting computer data.
Not at all like the specialists, Dr Roth does not have a computer in the examination room. He treats you as a patient and as a person. He looks directly at you, touches you as needed, asks questions, listens to your responses, makes his diagnosis appropriately, and does not rush you in and out. He is efficient, professional, and deliberate.
Philip Roth is one #$& of a doctor. My family's heartfelt thanks to him for assuring that we are being well cared for in our old age. I soon will be 85. My wife recently turned 80.
In closing: If I were a doctor, even a specialist, I would choose Dr Philip Roth to be my primary physician. The photo attached is of us on our 60th wedding anniversary.

Thank you, Dr. Roth, for patiently talking with me about diet and exercise. And thank you for the seminars about these same topics.
