The Appalachian practice is one of the best carrying facilities I have ever been to. They are very concerned and put the absolute best effort into my well-being. Dr. Rothy and Dr Waltrip are very concerned about me and easy to communicate with. They both put the same effort in to carrying for me as they would for their own father. Just doesn't get any better. The staff as well treat me with the best help and effort into serving me and my needs. Almost feel like I am the only patient they have. I am confident that my physical needs will be met.

He’d extremely good at his job & is quick to help me. The three surgeries were exceptional they have given me very little or no trouble at all. When my wrist was hurting so bad this time he couldn’t find what was causing it however he’s keeping an eye on it & said If I had any trouble come back to see him. I would definitely recommend him & he is the only one I will see. He is truly a remarkable Doctor & surgeon.
