About Me:

Colorectal surgeons address a part of the body that we dont often discuss outside of a medical or very private environment. The opportunity to provide a safe space for my patients to discuss and address what can be a sensitive set of medical issues is a key reason I decided to become a colorectal surgeon. I partner with my patients to better understand their medical problems and identify the best way to get them back to their work, personal and family lives. I learned that maximizing the benefits of surgery results from a patient-centered focus and, when needed, collaborating with other specialists to incorporate surgery into a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. My practice includes the treatment of colon and rectal cancer, IBS, as well as anorectal complaints what is traditionally regarded as Proctology. I also place a strong emphasis on prevention and surveillance, through colonoscopy and in some cases, regular office visits. Hobbies include: Hiking, Traveling, Music

I came to Dr. Rotramel after a disappointing experience with another provider, and the difference has been remarkable. Dr. Rotramel truly listens to my concerns and takes the time to understand the nuances of my situation. She collaborates with me to create a personalized plan, making me feel both heard and supported. It's rare to find a provider who is not only attentive to my emotional needs but also incredibly knowledgeable and proactive in managing my health. I'm deeply grateful to be in her care and confident that we're on the right path together.

Dr.Rotramel is professional,yet warm. Her communication and interpersonal skills are far superior to any physician I have ever seen. She explains everything in a respectful, easy to understand way.Seriously, as an octogenarian I have seen many health care providers over my lifetime and I would rate her as the best I have ever encountered.

Dr. Rotramel is AMAZING. One of the best doctors I've ever seen. So so so knowledgeable and understanding and good at communicating and good at putting you at ease I literally could not possibly praise Dr. Rotramel enough or speaking too highly of her.

I've never seen a more sensitive and thorough doctor like her. She took all the time needed and made me feel safe and comfortable.

Great doctor!

I have always had a good experience with Doctor Rotramel and consider her a caring and compassionate physician. She has treated me for (ten years?) and has always given me excellent care. I have never had a complaint with her or her care.

Dr. Rotramel was superb. In a warm and engaging way, she questioned me thoroughly. She talked to me reassuringly during the exam and was even able to dispel my fears. I left the office feeling that whatever the diagnosis after testing, the condition can be treated, and I have confidence that with Dr. Rotramel I am in the most capable hands. I would prefer her to any other doctor. I appreciated the length of the appointment as well as the thoroughness.

The provider refused to treat me with anything other than a compounded salve which is not permitted by Medicare and is not available at either of the two compounding pharmacies in the Portland area. She stated that surgery to correct my condition was not possible because I would only damage myself again. She seemed to believe that my condition was the result of my "lifestyle choices." Why don't you ask HER how and why SHE thinks this condition is mostly MY fault?
  Mar 26, 2024
Dr. Rotramel is a rock star.
  Mar 20, 2024
My visit with Dr. Rotramel was a very positive experience. She is obviously extremely knowledgeable, but is also able to connect with patients on their level in a very clear and respectful manner. She is engaging and a great listener- she also has a good sense of humor, which definitely helps in this specialty! I would highly recommend her to others.

Excellent physician - need more like her in the field! Compassionate, knowledgeable, not rushed, always cheery. On a broader scale, keep the excellent culture going at Legacy - don't let OHSU quash it, please!

I work at another hospital In PDX And choose to go outside of network to see my provider. She's kind, thoughtful and genuinely cares about my health outcomes.
