Kevin M Roth, MD

Dr. Kevin Roth came highly recommended to me by my primary physician. I was suffering from multiple dislocations of my right shoulder since childhood. Turns out I had a 360 degree tear. In a word… OUCH!!! My surgery was mid March of this year. I am pleased to report that I am recovering quite well & the quality of my life is greatly improved. Dr. Roth Is an amazing surgeon and has The Best Bedside Manner.

I broke my wrist. Dr. Roth showed me exactly what happened, and then fixed it. From our first review of the X-​rays, through the surgery and post-​op appointment, he respected and responded to all my needs and concerns with grace, kindness, patience, authenticity and skill. Though I prefer holistic, homeopathic responses to my body’s challenges, Dr. Roth exemplifies the very best of Western medicine. I feel blessed to have had him as my doctor.

I went to Dr. Roth with (home prognosis a torn MCL) and athritic knee, as a first time patient he sent me for an MRI and follow up appt. I came in and he informed me that I had indeed severly torn my MCL and head severe athritis in my rihgt knee. He suggested non-​suregery opting for shots and rehab as a first resort (which I liked, as he didn’t just want to perform another sugery on someone for the money) and surgery to repair the issues as a second option. I had the injury for the past two weeks and literally had pain that would wake me from a deep sleep two-​three times a night as well as a pregnant wife who bless her heart would wake up to tend to me.
I opted for the surgery to correct the issue so I can be «right as rain» (my words), getting rehab done and hopefully as close to 100% as possible in time for our arrival. I had the surgery last Tuesday and as truthful as I can possibly be, Dr. Roth has me able to sleep at night, I can walk with a slight limp (hey it’s only a week after surgery) and have able to eliminate the crutches. His staff Sabrina and PA are excellent, straight talk and he know his stuff! I’ve had 9 surgeries in my life and have always been blessed to have great surgeons but not all of them had great bedside manners, great surgeons and had a great staff. Dr. Roth has them all and I’ve done plenty (I mean made calls, checking references, etc) of research and I can highly recommend Dr. Roth and his staff! Hopefully I won’t need to see him again but would in a heartbeat if needed, as well as recommend a friend or family member. Yeah, he’s that good!

Dr. Roth Has been nothing short of amazing. I pulled the bicep tendon from my bone and he fixed me up perfectly. I work for a moving company and am starting up my own so I need the use of that arm for heavy lifting. Just a couple weeks out of surgery and I am doing great and healing perfectly. He has been with me every step of the way and I am very grateful to have had him taking care of me. I couldn’t have taken the chance with any one but the best and Dr. Roth that is you.
Thanks

I saw Dr. Roth for shoulder pain that never resolved, despite shoulder surgery with another physician from a different practice. Dr. Roth was obviously very busy that day; the waiting room in Berkeley was full. I had to wait about 20 minutes beyond my appointment time, which I always find irritating, but I soon discovered why. Once you are in the appointment room with Dr. Roth, you are his only concern. He patiently went through my medical history, examined my shoulder, and made me feel unrushed as he both examined my shoulder and asked probing questions. I was obviously his total focus in that moment (the number of people in the waiting room didn’t make him rush) and his insightful questions yielded results. Dr. Roth suspected that my shoulder problem wasn’t a shoulder problem at all, but possibly a neck problem that radiated pain to my shoulder. I was sent to get X-​rays elsewhere in the office (so convenient), and Dr. Roth made the time to see me again once the X-​rays were done. The X-​rays confirmed Dr. Roth’s suspicions… I have several neck vertebrae that have compressed onto each other and are likely causing my shoulder pain. Dr. Roth referred me to a neck/​spine specialist in the practice and I am in the process of following up on that referral. I just can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Roth. He truly cares about his patients, and he is 100% authentic and approachable as a person. Dr. Roth is a smart, kind, and warm person who obviously decided to become a doctor because he cares about people. If you need to wait a little bit to see him, it’s because he’s giving each patient whatever time they need to get the right treatment. I’d give him 10 stars if available.

Very knowledgable in subject matter. Takes the time to explain conditions and treatment. Best of all accessible. I am so glad I found him. Chrissy his patient coordinator is amazing, on top of everything I could ask for.

Dr Roth performed complicated emergency surgery for a six inch long spiral fracture on my arm. My physical therapist was absolutely amazed at how fast I recovered and even cancelled by last two appointments. Dr. Roth answered all my questions and was extremely friendly through the whole process. His office has also played well with my insurance not asking for any money (I owe deductible) until the whole ‘event’ was sorted with my insurance. Can’t say I have a lot of experience to compare it too, but I was most happy with my whole experience.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Roth. He is attentive, informative, and one of the most grounded doctors I have had the pleasure to meet. Even though I had a minor injury involving my shoulder I never felt rushed during my appointments. I would rate him with ten stars if this was an option.

Truly surprised to be the first reviewer of Dr. Roth at Webster Orthopedics in Berkeley. He is such a fantastic surgeon that I thought I would have seen hundreds of prior positive reviews.
Anyway, I was referred to Dr. Roth’s office after having contracted an infection in my leg following a sports injury. I was in immense pain and was expecting that the referral appointment would be a few days after my initial appointment with my primary care physician. To my great surprise, Dr. Roth was able to schedule an appointment to see me that same day!
Having seen various physicians in the past, I think many are missing personality, which, in my opinion, really enables a physician to relate to the patient to better understand exactly what is going wrong. Dr. Roth has great medical knowledge and is straight to the point, but he is also a really fun guy and easy to get along with and talk to. Because I was potentially putting my life in his hands, after meeting with Dr. Roth, I gained an immediate level of trust that I hadn’t experienced before.
Back to the treatment: After diagnosing my leg as having an infection, he decided that I needed to have surgery. To my surprise again, he was available to operate that same day. I was very excited to be able to address the problem quickly so I could begin the healing process. I met Dr. Roth out in Pleasanton at Valley Care hospital and he performed surgery that night. During my 5 days in the hospital recovering, Dr. Roth came in to check on me each day to make sure I was healing properly and receiving the proper care.
I am three weeks removed from surgery and I thinking back on the experience, except for not having to go through it at all, I can confidently say that I would not have changed a thing about the process. Everyone I met at Webster Orthopedics was professional, knowledgable, and very friendly. The office was clean and timely, and I felt that I received the very best care. If I, or any friend or family member, would ever have to go through a similar experience in the future, I wouldn’t see any other surgeon/​orthopedist besides Dr. Roth. Plus, he used to be the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Orthopedic Surgeon, so we have a lot to talk about while in the office!
Thanks again!
