Dr. Gerald (Rusty) Rodts Jr., MD - Atlanta, GA - Spine Surgery - Book Appointment (2024)

Dr. Rodts is an excellent professional and personable surgeon who I have worked with for many years. I recommend him to everyone

Best doctor visit i've had.

Have very highly recommended Dr. Rodts to close friends that have had exceptional experiences with same

Excellent!

Dr. Rodts has been my neurosurgeon for over 20 years. I just had my third spinal fusion which has been a complete success as have the other two. Unfortunately I have a degenerative spine. I was pain free for ten years after the last surgery. I am now pain free from the pain I had prior to this surgery. I would never have anyone operate on my spine but Dr. Rodts. I just retired a year ago from being an RN for 46 years. Nurses only go to the best physicians and surgeons. Always ask a nurse who is the best.

Wonderful

Good not even hope for any better care

Excellent experience !

I have and will in the future recommend Dr. Rodts to others needing his services. He provides and most professional of services. I went almost 10 years with a problem that could not be diagnosed until I met Dr. Rodts - he diagnosed my problem within 10 minutes. He listens and provides answers through his ability to perform the correct surgery. For me he was a miracle worker.

I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Rodts and his staff acting on my behalf.

I have been a patient of Dr Rodts for over ten years and have never met a more compassionate and knowledgeable Physician. I have been in the Medical Field over 25 years and have worked closely with MD's, Dr Rodts is a Rare Gem!I Highly Recommend him without any concerns.

Doctors discussion with me regarding back issues had several avenues for care with a gods explanation of each.

First worked up by a fellow, then Dr Rodts came in with CT Scsn printouts, did a work up on me and then set to explain what exactly was going on and how he would approach fixing the problems. He also went on to order Xrays of me in different positions to see how my spine was compromised. No other ortho I've seen about this even thought of this common sense approach.

Dr. Rodts always demonstrates expert care, thorough explanations, and a genuine desire to help the patient. He is a most pleasant professional!

Dr Rodts is incredible with his knowledge, understanding, and taking the time to fully explain things and answer all my questions.

Dr Gerald Rodts Jr is genuinely concerned about my overall health

Doctor gave us his complete attention, spoke with clarity and understanding of our situation. While what to do next and our prognosis are still under discussion, we left feeling that we had been seen and heard by a knowledgeable professional, and that was healing in itself.

The best in my history.
