Dr. Roch is a great guy. He has incredible bedside manners. He spends time with you to ensure he understands the issue. He does run late sometimes, for just the reason I stated. He makes sure he discusses the issue with you.
Whenever any of my friends need an orthopedic dr. I make sure to give them Dr. Roch's number.
