Dr. Philip J. Koehler

The Forbes of medicine. From day one, till day done. The Rothman Orthapedic institute and Dr. Philip J. Koehler, III, DO,MS and his team are number one. A Specialist. For me the epitome of what medicine should be. If Pain Relief you seek, a cure, resolution, this is the institution. Fern C. Johnson, PhD

Dr. Koehler assessed my Dad after he suffered what we thought to be a pinched nerve in his neck that resulted in left hand numbness. We had been assuming that my father would need to undergo spinal surgery, but Dr. Koehler correctly discerned that my Dad had in fact suffered a minor stroke and that spinal surgery was inappropriate. He asked very good questions. He impressed me as a radiantly intelligent guy who seriously cares about his patients and their well-being. He took time to phone us during the middle of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays to interpret test results and imaging. He gently steered us toward what was obviously distressing news but Dr. Koehler is such a clear and compassionate communicator that my Dad and I actually felt ok, even hopeful. He made sound recommendations about what to do going forward. Dr. Koehler is excellent — it was a privilege to interact with him.
