Do I need to know exactly what is wrong before I schedule?

No. Many foot and ankle problems can feel similar. Start with the main symptom and when it began; the diagnosis and treatment plan follow an in-person evaluation.

Is Dr. Rottenberg accepting new patients?

Mount Sinai currently lists Dr. Rottenberg as accepting new patients. Call the office to confirm availability for your concern and preferred appointment time.

Does the practice accept my insurance?

Participation and coverage can vary by exact plan and by service. Call with the full plan name shown on your card before booking. A carrier name alone is not a guarantee of coverage.

What should I bring to a first visit?

Bring a photo ID, insurance information, a medication list, any relevant imaging or records you already have, and the shoes or orthotics connected to the problem when applicable.

Will I be told to have surgery?

A consultation is not a surgery booking. Dr. Rottenberg evaluates the problem and discusses appropriate options, including conservative care and surgery when indicated.

Can I use the contact form for an emergency?

No. Online messages are not monitored for emergencies. If you believe you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or seek emergency care.
