Dr. Corey P. Rothrock is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who's been practicing at the Orthopedic Institute since 2009. Dr. Rothrock is adamant about not setting limitations for his patients. “The sky is the limit for what patients can do and accomplish after surgery. It is my duty and my passion to give every opportunity to make whatever their goals are a reality. That is why I continue to search for less invasive ways to perform surgery and speed recovery.”

Corey and his entire team have been nothing but amazing. I couldn't even start to begin to explain how to describe what it means to me to have such a feeling of care and expertise wrapped into one complete package.

He took the time to explain things to me and give me my options and reassured me that it could be fixed. I was impressed that he wasn’t in a hurry to get out of there and made sure that I was comfortable with the decision I made.

From Dr. Rothrock
As a board certified orthopedic surgeon, I specialize in the comprehensive care of the patient with focused interest in minimally invasive joint replacement and joint revision. I consider it a privilege to be trusted with your care and will make every effort to ensure you are treated with the highest quality of care, as I would offer to a member of my own family. It is my goal to make certain that my cumulative experience benefits each patient and produces the best possible outcome for each individual as I can. I pride myself on maintaining a personal doctor patient relationship with each patient and if there is anything we at Orthopedic Institute can do to further improve your experience, please let us know.

About Dr. Rothrock
Dr. Rothrock is a native of Clay Center, NE and joined Orthopedic Institute in 2009. Prior to that, his training took him across the United States. He completed his residency in Orlando, FL, where he gained extensive experience in care of the trauma patient, including operative experience with pelvic and acetabular surgery. He then moved to New York where he completed a year of subspecialty training in musculoskeletal oncology and he became an expert in limb salvage surgery and adept at tumor resection. He practiced in Louisville, KY before returning to the Midwest to be close to family.

Dr. Rothrock is an expert in hip and knee joint reconstruction and revision surgery, minimally invasive direct anterior hip replacement, pelvic and extremity trauma, and arthroscopic surgery. He was the first doctor in this region to introduce the anterior “from the front” hip replacement surgery to patients.

As a board certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Rothrock is adamant about not setting limitations for his patients. “The sky is the limit for what patients can do and accomplish after surgery. It is my duty and my passion to give every opportunity to make whatever their goals are a reality. That is why I continue to search for less invasive ways to perform surgery and speed recovery.”

When Dr. Rothrock isn’t taking care of his patients, he enjoys hunting, especially big game, and spending time with his family.
