Today I visited Dr. Rosenberg for the first time to discuss a possible torn meniscus (according to TOSH injury assessment) and that I will be traveling to Costa Rica where I will be hiking 15 or so miles a day. I wanted to know what I could do to prevent further injury and what exactly was wrong with my knee. A bit of background info, I am 54" and 200 lbs. so by a BMI calculator I am obese, I am aware of this. However, A little over a year ago, I decided to take my health into my own hands and have lost 40 lbs. I work out 5-6 times a week (primarily weight training, but incorporating 2 hours of cardio) and eat a high lean protein and high vegetable diet. I allow myself one cheat meal a week. I am proud of the muscle definition I have developed and that I have dropped almost 20% body fat. Am I where I need to be? No. Am I doing my best to live a healthy lifestyle and to change? Yes. With that in mind I arrived at the office, filled out some paperwork, sat in the wait room for an excessive amount of time, finally got called back and got some x-rays done and waited for the doctor. Funny enough I was showing my father my calf definition prior to the doctor coming in and I was talking about how proud I was to be working this hard for myself. Upon arriving the doctor didnt introduce himself and immediately went into how the cartilage in my knee was wearing down due to weight. He talked about this for approximately 4 minutes, as he is moving around my leg he feels the need to make the comment of "Youre too intelligent to be obese, you do realize you are obese?" Feeling attacked because for one, he knows nothing of my intelligence and used it as a way of giving a back handed compliment so I responded with "I know, Ive lost 40 lbs though and am working on it." He responds with "Then you must have been extremely obese." For the length of my visit there (approximately 30-45 minutes) he continued to lecture me about my weight, telling me I need to become a vegetarian, need to stop lifting weights, need to only do yoga and cardio, that Vietnamese women are happy because they are slender and eat a more alkaline diet, and was incredibly condescending the entire time. Ive never been more appalled by a medical professionals bed side manner. He was one of the rudest people I have ever encountered and I cannot comprehend how he earned his medical license. There is no correcting this situation. I will forever remember what he said to me. The emotional scarring of something like this to a young womans self esteem is irreversible. I understand that my weight is an issue for my knees, however, I am not less of a human being because of it. He acted as though his "superior" lifestyle was my only solution. Making comments on how high my blood pressure must be, acting accusatory that I dont eat vegetables, judging me for being a woman and lifting weights (according to him, women are not supposed to be muscular and if I were a Samoan man he would have told me differently), and making comments about how obese I am. I have never felt worse about myself in my entire life. Not to mention, when my blood pressure came back as 117/78 he made absolutely no comment or apology for his previous accusations. My father had a much different experience with him and is also slightly obese. This leads me to feel as though he must be a misogynist or that his beliefs of how a female should look is the building block of how he chooses to practice medicine when seeing female patients. I got very little information in regards to my injured knee, however, I received a wounded pride and emotional scarring.

What a joke! I was referred to this doctor by a friend, and Im starting to wonder what I did to upset this friend. I have lived a very active lifestyle including eight years marching/running around in the military, plus an additional twenty plus years running. Needless to say my knees are shot, as well as my feet. I also recently was treated for cancer. Because of these issues I havent been able to be active lately and have put on a few extra pounds. I spent an hour waiting in his exam room. When Dr. Rosenberg came in he started in on the "Standard American Diet" or SAD as he refers to it. He literally spent an hour with me and my wife talking about his diet, and how all health issues are tied to diet. After being asked "What about his knees" several times by my wife he spent 3-4 minutes looking at my knees then went right back into his spiel on diet. My knees were clearly an unwanted distraction for him, talking about becoming a vegetarian was much more important. He proceeded to scan my hand with his special laser to gauge my dietary health. This laser could supposedly detect vegetable sourced nutrients in the blood stream. I then received a book on diet "free of charge", which Im sure was billed to my insurance company along with some supplements also "free of charge". I was then told to come back in four months to see if a change of diet had fixed my knees. I need a knee specialist, not a nutritionist. My wife is a nurse, and Im not an uneducated slouch. There is no known diet in the world that can repair cartilage.

DR. Rosenberg, is in my opinion a very poor knee replacement doctor. His bedside manner is non-existant, if you do see him, which I didnt my whole hospital stay; my leg is crocked, and I would not refer him to my dog, as I love my dog too much. Also having to wait in the office to see him for 2 or more hours is ridiculous. My implant is too big on the bottom and too small on the top, so my knee moves back and forth, as confirmed by two other doctors. So please find another doctor for your knee replacement surgery.

Dr Rosenberg and his staff are top notch. Same is true for the Park City Hospital, a well run and competently staffed facility. Dr. Rosenberg talked to me about my whole body!! My diet, knees, hip, back. I had total knee replacement, 12/10/15, and am very pleased with the outcome. Knee #2 this fall!!!

Dr. Rosenberg did a wonderful job with the replacement of my husbands knees. We loved the Park City IHC, and the care he was given. Its been almost four years since the surgery, and everything is great with his knees.

My Right knee was replaced with a Stryker Athletic Knee by Dr. Rosenberg in 2006. It has performed wonderfully. I have no restrictions in my activities and no pain. Thank you Dr. Rosenberg
