Truely, truely sorry to hear of his passing. Wonderful, compassionate doctor and human being.
He along with Dr. Saunders cared for my now adult sons congential eye condition since he was in pampers. My son loved when Dr. Rotberg would wiggle his ears during our visit to the Charlotte office.
We had no idea he had passed until now and that is only because I was looking for his book he'd written that my own eye doctor told me about. We were sad when he retired but even more sad to know he is not physically here anymore.
God Bless you Dr. Rotberg and your family.....

It was a real blow today when I visited my eye specialist, Dr. Saltzmann, who took over my treatment and care after Dr. Rotberg and was told that Dr. Michael Rotberg passed on. He was such a great man and doctor. After I survived a stroke Aug. 26, 2000, Dr. Rotberg worked diligently to care for me. Because of his caring soul, I am much, much better, even though I lost the sight in my left eye due to the stroke. CEENTA will NEVER be the same without him and my husband and I are both blessed having known such a great man and doctor. It hurts but it is also good to know that he will never hurt again. God needed an angel and he has one now, Dr. Michael Rotberg.

I hate to hear this news. Dr. Rotberg was my eye doctor for many years and he was one of the nicest doctors I got to know. My mom, brother and I were all his patients at one time. I had just told another coworker about him and how he was doing well. It was a real shock when my mom told this sad news. May he soar with the angels and his family be comforted by the beautiful memories and eternal love. Thank you Dr. Rotberg, you will be missed.

I am so sad to learn of Dr. Rotberg's death. He was my doctor until he had to resign. CEENTA is not the same and I have missed him so very much. He had a great staff and he, himself, was talented, charming and full of zest. I send my deepest sympathy to his dear family and share their tears.

I am so sad hearing about you Dr. Rotberg. So many fond memories working together at the old CEENTA in the OR. I will never forget the card you sent to all of us when CEENTA was closed down. Yes, we were a great team together & it was hard when they broke us up but we all went our different ways never forgetting all the wonderful times & memories. We will miss you.

Michael was my opthalmologist Charlotte Eye when I lived in Charlotte. He was a wonderful man and good doctor. I was there when he got that phone call and I knew something was wrong, even as I sat there waiting for him to return to the room. He will be sorely missed by many. RIP
