    Dr. Rosen is down to earth, he prepared me for what was to come, took his time with me and never made me feel rushed. I felt like I was his only patient when he was in the office to see him. Although I had to wait at times to see him, I knew he was giving the patient before me his total attention and I appreciated that he would do the same with me when it was my turn. He is personable, caring and was a real blessing!
