About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is founded on empathy, comprehensive treatment and personalization. I emphasize education, enabling informed decisions and strong doctor/patient relationships. My practice spans urological issues for men and women, from sexual health to incontinence. Each treatment plan is customized to the individual. Collaboration is key and fosters a multidisciplinary strategy that enhances care quality and treatment scope. I am committed to the highest standard of urological care, ensuring you feel valued and receive effective and respectful treatments.
Why I entered medicine
My path to medicine, urology in particular, drew me in with its unique blend of patient care in the office and the technical challenge of surgeries. I get to form meaningful connections with my patients, guiding them from the first consultation to recovery post-surgery. The mix of engaging directly with patients, performing delicate surgeries and staying abreast of the latest medical advancements keeps me invested in the community and inspired.
Community involvement
I am committed to the health and well-being of our community, and actively engage in outreach initiatives. I believe health care extends beyond the clinic and hospital walls and plays a vital role in community development and support. I focus especially on educational programs related to raising awareness about urological health. A major aspect is highlighting the significance of early screenings and proactive health measures.
Personal interests
I live in Northeast Pennsylvania with my life partner and close to my children. I cherish our community and its beauty. Spring and summer are for hiking and enjoying the lush landscapes, while fall offers breathtaking foliage perfect for scenic drives. Winter transforms the area into a picturesque setting for skiing and snow sports. I take pleasure in fishing and boating in the lakes and rivers of upstate New York during warmer months and snowshoeing or relaxing with a good book when it snows. Outdoor pursuits provide a much-needed balance to my professional life, offering both physical and mental rejuvenation and keeping me connected to the beauty of our region.

Comments
"They were backlogged in urology on the day of my visit, and it took quite a while to be seen, like an hour and a half. I have no problem with that. I just wish that the staff would update you on timelines. I had a 2 o'clock appointment. I left there a little after 3.30, and I had another appointment I had to push off at 3.30. So if the staff could just update people as the delays are and how long they're going to be approximately. I understand healthcare is always changing, but at least some communications of what's going on. All right. Thank you. Bye."
"I was satisfied with this experience"
"Dr Rottennerg is a very kind and understanding [redacted] though he was behind in treatments that day he still took plenty of time to talk with me and didn't rush me at all. Also, the nurse was very kind and helpful and understanding of my needs."
