Very nice experience (considering he is a doctor, but since he's such a nice person that makes up for it). The doctor's office is very well organized and courteous, they almost make seeing a doctor a pleasant experience. They are great when you're there ,however your book-keeping system leaves quite a bit to be desired-to put it bluntly, it stinks and is not run by the brightest bulbs in the lamps.

Unlike other doctors, Dr. A.. Roth cares for the patient and not just for curing any disease with your eyes. It's nice to know that some doctors don't have enough overflowing ego that could fill both the grand canyon and still have enough left over to fill a couple of football fields.
