Dr Roh's office and staff get you in as soon as possible. They are very thorough and kind. I was in such excruciating pain when I went in, but they took the time to answer all my questions. Because of their promptness, I was able to get into surgery quickly and have a FULL recovery. They made me feel safe through the entire process. Thank you Dr Roh & staff

They always made sure that I wasn't in any pain. I was given a polite greeting when I walked in. It was nice to be acknowledged. They always go above and beyond to help me with anything I need. They never complain about anything, and I know I can always count on them. I didn't wait long at all. My appointment started on time, and the wait was much shorter than other offices I have been to. I've never had to worry about them being understaffed or not being able to help me right when I need it. They have a huge staff that's very knowledgeable and qualified.

I suffered from terrible nerve pain following a laminectomy done by another physician about 13 years ago. My experience was so terrible I didn't want to consider surgery again. I struggled with narcotics, pain pumps and injections to help me cope with the pain. I finally got to the point where nothing was working so my daughter recommended that I try Dr. Roh. Everyone in Dr. Roh's office from Dr. Walker, Justine his nurse, Matt Schwabero, PA and Dr. Roh was respectful to me and helped me understand my options. I underwent a spinal fusion. When I awoke my nerve pain was gone. I can't thank Dr. Roh and his staff enough. I would recommend Dr. Roh to anyone. Dr. Roh's surgical skills and expertise have given me my quality of life back.

I have had some sort of back pain for as long as I can remember. Eleven years ago I began having pain and numbness in my legs and back. The Family Medicine provider at that time gave me all kinds of drugs and said I needed to think about surgery. I ended up having back surgery by a provider I did not know, due to the pain and issues I was starting to have. The surgery did take away the some of the pain and give me some quality of life. But every time I tried to work in the garden, take long walks, or do anything physical, I ended being sore for days. Last fall I started having pain in my legs and back - but it was different. I tried to ignore it, hoping it would pass. After much prodding from my husband this summer, I went to my current Family Medicine provider to see about the pain. She sent me for a CAT scan, and once she received the results, asked me if I had a preference for an orthopedic provider. I asked her who she would go see if she needs a provider. Dr Roh was who she recommended. He and his staff actually care about their patients. Dr Roh took the time to fully explain my options to my husband and me. I had surgery about 10 weeks ago and what pain there is, is due to healing and getting muscles to do things they haven’t done in years. I am looking forward to the rest of my life and all the things I will be able to do. Dr Roh and his staff have given me back my life.

We live about 2 hours from Rockford but the Rockford Spine Center was highly recommended to us. We met with Dr Shwabero to confirm our fear of a herniated disc in my husbands back. We were given options and decided surgery was best. Because we live fairly far away, the office staff was considerate of the time we have to travel. Our pre-op appointment was scheduled for the day before surgery so we didn't have to make an extra trip. We stayed in a hotel and were given the first surgery appointment of the day. Surgery was at Rockford Memorial. We got to hospital at 5:30 am and surgery was scheduled for 7:30 am. The hospital was fantastic! The staff was excellent and very caring. The surgery went great and we were discharged by 10:30 am! The whole experience was wonderful!!

thought I just had sciatica pain. It got worse with weakening in my leg so I got referred to Dr. Roh. At my initial appointment, he went over my X-rays and MRI. Turns out I had a fracture, herniated disk and a pinched nerve. He explained all of my options and went over the pros and cons of each. We decided to go ahead and remove my herniated disk and do a lumbar fusion. 6 weeks post op and I feel great! I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Roh is a great surgeon with excellent bedside manner. He presented all my options without pressuring me towards surgery. Dr. Roh, his PA, and the rest of the RSC staff are all very professional at providing excellent care.

I was referred to Dr. Roh by my Physical Therapist who said he was a great spinal surgeon. There are 3 individuals I know personally who had him operate on them and they all gave him high marks. I had him operate on 3 discs in my neck. All the hospital staff, both before and after the procedure, spoke highly of him. In speaking to him I found him to be very bright, but he is great at talking to you in language you will understand. His office staff are also very good at what they do.
