Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done. 

As a testament to his success, Dr. Rothenberg has been the recipient of Patients’ Choice Award (2014, 2015, 2018, 2020), On-Time Doctor Award (2014, 2018, 2020), and Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2014, 2018, 2020).
