Dr. Rochester is fantastic to work with. He explains everything clearly and breaks down each condition to palatable, simple-to-understand definitions. His bedside manner is top notch, something I often find lacking in the medical field. Absolute joy being his patient.

On time for appointment, which I love. Very friendly understanding. I believe he gave me good advice, including aqua therapy. And the option to make the next appointment but cancel it if I don’t feel I need it. Would definitely recommend him again.
