From the front desk to my departure, this was a very refreshing experience. I am so used to going to doctors who spend limited time with me and are unable to substantially help. Dr. Rolnik spent 30+ minutes with me and I could tell she really cares. I’m excited to get better!
“Dr. Rolnik really took the time to listen and help me.”

Wish I could give ten stars. I developed complications from surgery and wasn't getting help from my surgeon or primary care. i found Dr Rolnik on the internet and booked a consultation. I was amazed by how she actually listened and didn't rush. She correctly diagnosed the problem when no one else even came close and put me on the right path to healing. I highly recommend Dr. Rolnik for orthopedic issues.
“A warm and caring Dr.”

Came in worried about what another knee injury would mean for my career, left feeling not only better but confident that it won't! Great to have someone not only listen to the issues but find ways to help you complete your other goals.
“Fabulous experience!”

Dr. Rolnik has extensive knowledge in sports medicine and offers alternative options for sports tendon injuries. Its rare to find a doctor of this caliber-- she offers the most cutting edge treatments. As an aging athlete, I don't want surgery and she took the time to explain all my options. She's a great human--and a caring, compassionate and personable doctor. Great experience and results.

I am 63, but incredibly active - I run, hike, bike, lift - and was having a number of issues with knees, back and shoulder. Dr. Rolnik has helped me assess my issues (arthritis, meniscus tear, shoulder tear, worn out cartilage, osteoporosis) Yikes - growing old sucks! At least that is what I thought until I saw Dr. Rolnik! She recommended several regenerative treatments and physical therapy and I am getting back to the old me! I want to hike and bike until I am 100, and with Dr. Rolnik at my side, there is no doubt I will be doing my favorite activities for many years to come. For those Type A personalities who don't want to give up your sports, go see Dr. Rolnik! LKC

I came to Dr. Rolnik prior to having back surgery for a nerve issue and after speaking with her about what I had and what I had not tried for the issue I decided to postpone surgery and try a number of other treatments to work on the problem. She listened carefully and asked a lot of questions about my work, my hobbies, my nutritional practices and stress level to understand what areas of my lifestyle might benefit from changes. After meeting with Dr. Rolnik I made a number of changes that have reduced the amount of stress in my life, am focusing on diet and exercise improvements, and am also incorporating other pain reduction and pain management practices into my life. Even if I ultimately do need surgery I am extremely pleased with the changes that I have made as they support a much more healthy and happy lifestyle. I highly recommend Dr. Rolnik as she is sports medicine doctor who takes a very holistic approach to diagnosing and resolving problems.

My previous doctor told me to get a knee replacement. Dr. Rolnik gave me options for standard and alternative treatments and explained them each extensively (never in a rush for time) along with the pros and cons. We looked at conventional treatments, A2M, stem cells, (Lipogems), PRP, Fat Grafting, etc. . . We also looked at nutritional services with the nutritionist, Leasa Woods at Remedy Sports Regenerative Medicine. End result, my knees feel like they did 20 years ago; I don't see a knee replacement in my near future anymore. From initial visit, to follow up care Dr. Rolnik is hands down the best medical experience I have ever had. I wish Dr. Rolnik could be my doctor for all my medical needs.

Doctor Rolnik was very kind and put me at ease. She took time to review and discuss the possible activities that might have caused my problem. I described my symptoms and she examined my back. The diagnosis was a relief as it was something not too serious and I was given some exercises to help healing.

After being shuffled between 6 orthopedists at the bone factory in town, Dr Rolnik is a breath of fresh air. I need somebody to look at my whole body not just one joint. The amount of time she took to listen to me was extraordinary. She was empathetic, at times horrified by what she heard, She explained her thoughts clearly and came up with a plan of attack to get me back to a healthy lifestyle. I look forward to my follow up visit.
“She is what I hoped to find in a physician, attentive, caring, and knowledgeable.”

On my first visit to Dr. Rolnik, she took treatment and advice to the next level compared to my previous experience at other clinics. A plan was revealed to me for a second and strategic therapy for maintenance. That treatment went well and the need for self directed physical therapy was impressed on me. I am left with motivation and enthusiasm to maximize the benefit of treatment.
“It all went well.”

I am an athlete who has been seeing Dr. Rolnik for many years now for various injuries. She has an incredibly thoughtful approach in problem solving the injury and providing practical solutions. My husband has seen her as well and by following her advice we have successfully navigated back and shoulder injuries that were debilitating at the time we first saw her. She is a wealth of knowledge and is enthusiastic about treating the whole patient and not just pushing meds/surgical solutions. I would highly recommend her!
