Dr. Rodts took my case on after a doctor here in Atlanta botched up my surgery. He was open, honest, and made me feel like I was now in the best hands. We knew after just a few minutes with him and his staff we were in the right hands.
You may have to wait longer than you want to get an appointment, but trust me on this... he’s worth the wait!
After having 2 repairs to my spine he’s never left me.
Reviews matter, credibility counts.

From the moment we entered Dr. Rodts clinical office, it was nothing but professional, yet warm and friendly. Dr. Rodts along with his staff treated us with concern as to how best to relieve the pain that I was in. They showed a picture of my MRI AND explained why I was having the pain and what options were available. We decide on the surgical procedure because the other options would only treat the symptom not the underlying cause. Surgery is now complete and the underlying cause of the pain is now gone. Many thanks!!

Excellent. I know 6 or 7 people who have had Dr. Rodts operate on their backs. All excellent results, including mine.

I am very pleased with Dr. Rodts and thus far the results of my Spine surgery!! He has very "GOOD" Bedside manners and is professional yet Human in his explanation of conditions and corrections of said conditions!! Needless to say, I think of Dr. Rodts as an asset to Emory Hospital as well as the Southeast region as a whole!!

Dr. Rodts is my hero! After three FAILED lumbar spine surgeries elsewhere, he was able to correct the problems, and gave me my mobility back. I spent over a year wearing a back brace as part of my daily attire. After the surgery by Dr. Rodts, I wasn’t required to wear a back brace at all! I still have a little numbness, sometimes a little back muscle fatigue, but the pain is almost completely gone. He is also very caring and easy to talk to. He listens and explains everything very carefully.

I was fortunate to find Dr Rodts 10 years ago when he fixed a herniated disc. When I had a much less obvious problem and spent nearly 2 years going from specialist to specialist and no one could figure out the source of the problem, Dr Rodts knew what it was right away. He fixed it and I am doing great. He’s not just an incredible doctor, he’s also a great guy and nice to look at, too.

Dr Rodts and his staff have been exceptional in all areas of my pre and post surgery care, and is a great communicator. Two other neurosurgeons declined my case because of the extent of lumbar damage. Dr Rodts did not hesitate to help me and at this point I couldn’t be more pleased with the results and the positive impact on my life.

We cannot thank Dr. Roots enough! His surgical expertise combined with excellent follow-up care have led to a complete recovery in record time. His staff are most courteous and professional as well.

If you are considering back surgery, there is only one doctor in Atlanta to consider -- Dr. Rodts. He has performed 3 successful back surgeries on my wife. This was my first significant surgery. I am amazed at how little pain I experienced in my time in the hospital and the weeks of recovery following my surgery. I have been going through a rigorous physical therapy program and am returning to all of my favorite physical activities without pain. The entire Emory Spine team has been great.

Impressed with Dr. Rodts and his ability to identify your problem and solution.
While it is too early to judge outcome (around three weeks) I am generally pleased with the progress.

I'd give Dr. Rodts more than five stars if I could. He was highly recommended to me be a co-worker. I researched my condition and surgical options, learned how to pronounce "spondylolisthesis," :-) and underwent laminectomy and fusion. I have no regrets. Dr. Rodts and his nurse, Mr. Edmunds, answered all of my questions and allayed my concerns. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Months of personal research continued to highlight Dr Rodts expertise and passion for surgical improvements. I am extremely fortunate that I was introduced and after 10 years, we both agreed surgery was the right option. It is still early in my recovery, but I am very confident in our success. He is unique, as he is gifted surgically, displays tremendous confidence and does not rush patient conversations. He is ELITE in his field and I am thankful for his attributes and special character.

The care I received from Dr. Rodts and his team at Emory Midtown during my back surgery and recovery was outstanding. It's been 3 weeks since my surgery and I am able to perform most household tasks and I no longer need pain medication. Every question I asked since my surgery was answered promptly.

Not sure why i'v waited so long to review Dr. Rodt's but 6 years ago to this day he performed life saving surgery on my spinal cord removing a large tumor from my spinal canal. I was scared to death until I met him. He is amazing and so genuine in how he cares for his patients.

Great experience all around. I saw Dr. Rodts for a herniated disc. He was exceptional throughout the process from consultation to surgery and post op. The surgery went exactly as planned with no complications. I would highly recommend Dr. Rodts as he is an experienced, knowledgeable doctor.
