The reviews listed below were collected independently of EmergeOrtho through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
We had the most bizarre experience with this doctor today. We came in for him to read the results for my husband’s FCE test. That never occurred. He instead seemed almost annoyed or angry. He said my husband “didn’t try very hard.” during the test. (A test he wasn’t even present for to witness.). The doctor didn’t even seem aware of my husband’s condition since the surgery. We were contacted by the nurse prior to the FCE test and told that my husband’s blood pressure was extremely elevated to “stroke levels”. We were told he was unable to take the test in that condition and to come back after it was lowered… he was turned down twice… almost 3 times due to the blood pressure and according to his doctor… the blood pressure was high due to his medication and PAIN level from his back injury.
An injury that Dr. Rodger was supposed to have tried to fix.
Dr. Rodger’s asked lots of questions that he should have known answers about.
We left with more questions than we got answers.

Dr. Rodger always takes the time to go over all x rays and/or MRI'S, and will sit and discuss a great plan of action. He's always upbeat and I really like that about him.

Dr Rodger is a great caring doctor. I had back surgery in November, 2025. I could barely walk without pain before my surgery. It’s so great to be able to walk without extreme pain. Thank you, Dr. Rodger!
