It amazes me how this man is still practicing. And still operating. His license should have been taken away from him a LONG time ago. He is unprofessional, does not know his job. Misdiagnoses!!! Has a terrible bedside manner. Rude, no compassion or caring.

Dr. Rokito is a pompous, egotistical, rude individual. He performed reconstructive acl surgery on my right knee about one month ago and I am having complications as a result of his ineptitude. He is quick to blame the patient and insulted me on a follow-up visit when I asked him a question regarding my knee. Please be wary of visiting Dr. Rokito's office, as I would advise you to find another surgeon to perform any knee/shoulder operations.

Dr Rokito is an extremely efficient, skilled practitioner. He is a careful listener, who considers the patient's wishes while offering expertise and guidance towards the solution of your orthopedic issues. He clearly explains his diagnosis and what alternatives are available for treatment. We examined my X-rays together and he made sure I understood what they reflected Although I have not had surgery, I have experienced injections in my knees. They have been painless due to his skill. (I have had them done elsewhere, not as happily). Sometimes I have had to wait because of emergencies. But that could be me receiving urgent care.

I wish all of my doctors were as productive as Dr. Rokito. I had my left shoulder repaired by Dr. Rokito after other "specialists" told me, "there's nothing I can do for you." After my operation, I can now lift my arm above my head after a decade of misery. Thanks Dr. Rokito for doing the procedure, instead of sending me for more physical therapy to which the pain came back as soon as I started my car out of the parking lot.
