I was sent all the way from Palm Springs to downtown Los Angeles for an MRI. Was told I was in the wrong place. Finally had MRI in palm desert. Was told once Dr Roger had a chance to look at the MRI the office would contact me for a follow up appointment. It’s been over a month and still no call for follow up. Office says “he’s just really busy and they are sure I’ll get a call soon”

Dr. Roger has performed knee replacements on both of my knees and he has replaced my left hip. The results are overwhelmingly great - I have had no negative results Or any pain at all. He is a great surgeon - he deals with the problems and he has a fantastic staff including Physician Asst David Hill. I would encourage anyone facing knee or hip replacement to seriously consider Dr Roger and his staff. Yes he is very busy and minimizes his time with patients but he maximizes the excellent results that you will experience if he operates on you! I believe he is one of the absolute best orthopedic surgeons in the Coachella valley and his experience and results speak for themselves. He’s done 3 major surgeries on me and I have not had an ounce pain. A great man indeed.

I have a broken pinky, was referred to this doctor by my primary. Went to my appt. The wait was longer then needed to be. He never discussed my xray. Spent limited time with me. Told someone from the doorway of the examination room to tell a guy to bring a brace, then told me to wear for 2 weeks. He never told me anything about how long healing would take. That took so long that I peaked my head out and told them I had another doctor appt. Guy finally came with a ridiculously large and awkward brace for my pinky.

Currently in the middle of treatment and a lawsuit stemming from a car accident in LA... Had to switch my Dr to one out here since I moved to PS. My attorney hooked me up with this Dr. And it was absolutely horrible.
First I get a call at 8pm from one of their staff members asking me questions that weren't relevant to my healthcare needs. Including asking about my lawsuit, asking how old the other driver was... Time of day of the accident. How clear the weather was. If police statements were

I have complete trust in Dr. Roger. If I could have him do my second knee surgery I would. He is a very sound doctor and kind person. He is intelligent and very trustworthy. I would recommend him to anyone. He is very busy and in high demand and there is great reason for that. He is a gifted surgeon.

I had what was described as a "sprained" ankle. I had the MRI and X-Ray done that he ordered to provide him information for his diagnosis. After 3 appointments were cancelled at the last minute, because he was supposedly the only Ortho surgeon in Palm Springs, he said that it may or may not heal and that was it! A year later I am still suffering with it. He should have at least referred me to a different physician! A total waste of time out of my life!

I spent over 10 years going to this office, waiting hundreds of hours without getting any help whatsoever with any of my injuries. I had another injury in January and my insurance wanted me to go to him as my only option and I refused.

Dr. Roger was completely affable, diagnosed and explained what my problem was, explained what were and what weren't my treatment options, and treated me on the spot. Couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. I recommend Dr. Roger without reservation. The staff at ICON were friendly, professional, and performed their jobs well.

Amazing surgeon! I had a hip replacement and was walking around the hospital 3 hours after surgery without any assistance! His surgical approach is to cut minimal tissue and muscle. He is teaching doctors from around the world his unique surgical method. I didn't even need physical therapy! Also, very little pain. Fabulous!

Dr Rogers scheduled my surgery for March 9th, 2016 at 6:15pm. I've needed this for six years. I have a 16lb service animal, who I was told in pre-op, could be with me. Dr. Roger's office called the night before and changed the time to 5:15am, and told me the dog could not be there. I showed up early., without my dog. The time changed to 10:30am. The head of the nursing staff said I could run home to see my dog and let him out. The next thing I know, Dr. Roge's office cancelled my surgery. Idiot!
