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.

Not so great. Before even seeing me in person, hearing me and evaluating my condition, he sent me for multiple X-rays!!! Then I visited him in the patient room where he spent a total of 3 minutes to do some basic physical evaluations as fast as he could and told me my condition was nothing serious and that I need to give it some rest to heal itself. The staff and PA were thorough and friendly.

Best. Doctor. Ever.
Dr. Kevin Roth is the best doctor, in any specialty, that I have ever seen. Due to a genetic condition, I've had many orthopedic doctors over the decades. Dr. Roth is knowledgeable, kind, approachable, and extremely skilled. After he removed a torn meniscus, for instance, I could walk within 24 hours; my friends who had similar procedures with other doctors were off their feet for days. Perhaps the most unusual thing, though, is that he ALWAYS listens. Many doctors jump to preconceived conclusions about diagnoses and treatments, hardly paying any attention at all to what the patient says. Dr. Roth pays attention to every detail, taking the time to ensure that any problems are fully resolved, as well as using the latest technology to improve his care whenever possible. Dr. Roth may be leaving my immediate geographical area, but I'll happily drive several hours to his new office if needed. Why bother with less-skilled or less-conscientious doctors? Quite simply, he's the best there is.

I had a great experience with Dr. Roth and Webster Orthopedics. I broke my leg over a weekend while out of town and was told to find an orthopedist when I got home. I called Webster first thing Monday morning and they were able to get me in that day. Everyone in the front office was super friendly and sympathetic. I only waited maybe 10 mins to be taken back by an ortho tech for an x-ray then put in an exam room where the PA came in to take my history. Waited maybe 15 mins for Dr. Roth while the X-ray was being read. Dr. Roth was both professional, friendly and thorough showing me what the X-ray found and drawing diagrams of his recommended intervention. I ended up having arthroscopic surgery to repair the fracture with Dr. Roth and that has gone seemlessly. Still in the recovery phase but confident I will be back to normal with help from his great team!

The PA was awesome and so helpful. Full of empathy and did not rush me at all. Then Dr Roth came in, and was quite the opposite. He lacked empathy and cut me off halfway when I was explaining what was wrong with my knee. He spent half the time saying it “wasn’t his speciality” and the other half googling better people for the job. He made my feel bad about my issue and that is not how any doctor school make you feel. Everyone was so kind and friendly in the office, but he ruined my experience.

I went to see him for my knee injury. He just told me to get out of the rehab facility I am in and use my crutches to get around and do my usual routine. He did not seem to care about the pain and suffering I am in . I would not recommend him to anybody. If you need a good and caring Orthopedic doctor go instead to Dr. Tom Peatman and avoid this doctor at all cost.

Dr. Roth is awesome. Very professional and thorough. Great person - authentic and caring. Gentle bedside manor. We had several wide ranging discussions about my treatment options, the latest research, and I felt supported throughout the process. When my MRI results were available, he called and we had an extensive discussion by phone as well. His fellowship training (after med school) at Kerlan-Jobe is the best place in the country to train in sports medicine/orthopedic surgery. I highly recomme
