Rothfeld Joel M PHD MD

I live in Anderson and my doctor is in Red Bluff. I was referred to Dr. Rothfeld. The referral took months. Finally, I got an appointment and drove to Chico. I was told my doctor's office had sent none of my material in advance so I would have to reschedule (that was the fault of my doctor's office). I did.

On the second visit, I brought the material myself. Granted, my doctor's office had sent a lot of material, but all he did was dismiss it. Without looking it over, he told me there was absolutely nothing wrong with me, there was nothing he could do for me. My months of waiting, my travel---all wasted. That was last year, and I'm much worse now than I was then, and I still can't find a doctor who will give me the time of day. Dr. Rothfeld is one of the guys who DIDN'T.

There is something seriously wrong with me and it's getting worse fast. But Dr. Rothfeld couldn't be bothered. Stay away from this guy. He doesn't give a flying @!%* about patients. Find someone with some humanity.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Rothfeld for over a year. He and the receptionists have been personable, professional and caring. We had moved up from So Cal and weren't sure what kind of care we would get in smaller Chico. My wife has ALS and FTD (dementia). Dr. Rothfeld works hard to thoroughly evaluate, patiently listen and then go above and beyond in alleviating concerns.
