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

She was really trauma-informed. She took time to explain what she would be doing, answer questions I had along the way, and provided results in a way that made sense. She was sensitive to how the procedure may be difficult for me given a history of trauma, and she was compassionate in her approach to ensure I still got the necessary test done, while feeling comfortable.

Dr was amazing, especially because going in for a concern in an area like the rectum is embarrassing. She was so kind and so attentive and helpful. I would definitely recommend her to anyone

As with every visit I have had w/Dr. Rotramel, she is conscientious, concerned, knowledgeable - She has been a fierce advocate for me and I have no doubt she had my well being at the forefront of her mind each time I saw her.

If every provider was like Dr. ROTRAMEL we would all be doing stellar. She was THE most amazing provider I've ever seen and she has a difficult job assessing patient's butt's, rectums, and descending colons. Seriously, going into this exam was a little anxiety producing but she explained everything very well, was kind and informative, and was just basically amazing. She needs a raise and many thanks for doing well by her patients!
