Dr. Roth on Extra TV

In November of 2009, Dr. Roth was chosen to be a "Life Changer" on the very popular ExtraTV! program hosted by Mario Lopez. The national recognition is well deserved and we are very proud of Dr. Roth to be chosen for this fantastic accomplishment!

Dr. Roth featured in August, 2011 issue of Vegas Seven magazine!

KEEPING 'EM PRETTY

He’s a fast-talker and a quick wit. If he were a fighter, he’d be nimble on his feet, light, with a surprising jab. He’d have you dancing around the ring trying to keep up. As it is, though, he sits ringside with a black bag at his feet, hoping to see a good fight, hoping to see boxers mix it up, make some contact—but not get seriously hurt—because he’s a doctor.

Dr. Roth Makes the List

Dr. Roth was honored again by being included on Vegas Magazine's prestigious "The List" (in the January, 2010 issue) highlighting movers and shakers in Las Vegas. He is one of a handful of Doctors recognized along with industry leaders...
