I'm am so blessed to have found Dr. Rotchford and his assistant, Qianna. Dr. Rotchford, with the assistance of Qianna, has gone to great lengths to help me. Responding to late-night emails, making weekend calls, and at times letting me ramble on about my current misery, but reeling me back in to focus on the solution. I've struggled with classic migraine headaches since the age of 13 and chronic myofascial pain syndrome for many years. Migraines and Rheumatoid Arthritis run in my family. When you're a pain patient, you will do just about anything to free yourself from pain, but it takes time

Dr rotchford is always kind and empathetic. He provides as much time as needed, he listens attentively to my concerns. Other doctors i have been to are always looking at their computer and rushing me through with little concern. Thank you Dr. Rotchford for your unique care.

The most phenomenal doctor I have EVER seen. I am a very complicated patient, and he has been able to sort through my issues and heal me with grace.

Prior to finding Dr. Rochford I felt that every physician I saw placed me inside of a rigid box, with cookie cutter treatments and stereotypical responses to my most earnest questions. As an addict, I had no hope of escaping the mold they had placed upon me. As a result, more often than not I would fall exactly into the role they had pre-determined. I felt hopeless, and more than anything I felt silenced. Dr. Rotchford on the other hand treats me as an individual, and more than anything he treats me as a human being. Every step of my treatment program is personalized towards me, and my input is

I can only speak from my many years of pain and dozens of doctors that couldn't help me.
Dr Rotchford has been a blessing and I'm so thankful he keeps helping people like myself that I feel the medical community has tossed aside and told to live with the pain. He has not only helped my pain from several broken backs over the years but found what was at the root of my pain. He doesn't just treat the symptoms, he has a brilliant mind and a way of approaching a problem that I have never seen in the medical field. It's not cut and dry, he understands that each of us is unique and it requires different

In my experience I haven't found many doctors that I feel became doctors because they wanted to help their community and our society. Dr. Rotchford not only cares and understands a patient's personal health, he also understands how health effects your life at home, work, and community. Some of the issues we face today are complex. Our regulatory systems and cultural views have made providing the best service possible more difficult than it could be. He is constantly working to help educate patients and colleagues. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Port Townsend is blessed to have him in
