In 1955, Dr. Marvin Rothman opened the doors to Rothman Animal Hospital and began his dream of providing the highest level of veterinary care for the community's pets, including birds, reptiles and other exotic animals. As the first veterinary hospital in the area at that time to offer avian and exotic expertise, the practice quickly gained a reputation for high-quality, comprehensive medical care.
Dr. Mark Esser graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1986, and joined Dr. Rothman as an associate that same year. He became owner and director of the practice in 1991 with Dr. Rothman still on staff. Originally from Erie, Pennsylvania, Dr. Esser became interested in veterinary medicine while in high school, and vigorously pursued his education in the sciences, earning a degree in biology from Gannon University in Erie and a Master's Degree in biochemistry from Kansas State University before attending veterinary school at Penn.
Dr. Kaufman completed her undergraduate degree at the William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia with a B.S. in 1971. She then attended Purdue University Veterinary School in West Lafayette, Indiana. After graduation, Dr. Kaufman practiced in small animal medicine in Washington, D.C. She returned to Perdue for a Residency in Small Animal Internal Medicine.
Dr. Dixon and Dr. Javic are my favorite Doctors at this clinic. They saved my Yorkie's life. Gizmo had the parvo virus and was only given a 20%-40% chance he was going to make it. Thank you to Dr. Dixon and Dr. Javic Gizmo is doing a lot better today. He has all his energy and appetite back and it's only been a week!

I never write reviews but I wanted to write about my experience with Rothman Animal hospital. My dog has been my best friend for 13 years. Rothman is not my normal vet and as my dogs health declined I was starting to worry about the care my dog was receiving. One day she was unresponsive and I knew she was not going to make it. I showed up at Rothman for the first time ever with a very sick animal.
The doctor went over every option empathizing with the situation I was in. Every support staff apologized and walked me through the process of putting my dog down from the first step to the last. It was really some divine intervention my normal vet was out of town and I had no other options in that moment. After I lost my baby one of the techs said to me I'm sorry and I hope you know you made the right decision.
It was the best thing he could have said to me in that moment. A week after I lost my baby I received a sympathy card in the mail from them. These kind people who I had never met, never brought business to prior to that day, thought to send me a sympathy card. I was a wreck that day and in no condition to show my appreciation for their care that day.
Thank you to everyone at Rothman. I know without a doubt Uno received the best care that day and I really appreciate it. I don't wish these moments for anyone but if you find yourself with a senior dog know they are loving and caring and know what they are doing.

Dealing with a unexpected litter of pups, something I've never gone through before, my anxiety has been through the roof! Thanks to the amazing team at Rothman! I always get a call back when I have a concern, which seems to be almost everyday through this! Dr Scrunci even called to check on things when I left a message that my baby had her pups. I can't thank the caring wonderful team at Rothman enough!
They truly care, have patience for a anxiety ridden new momma like me, and are very attentive to all my concerns! From the front desk to the Drs.thank all of you! Chloes mom!

Our friends at Rothman Animal Hospital have become like family over the years. Their genuine compassion for both animals and humans has pulled us through some of the darker days. We especially appreciate all that Dr. Dixon and Shelly have done for us and our fur babies, Valentine, Rudy & Bobby, and our special Angels Willie & Bailey

I have been going to Rothman Animal Hospital for over 10 years. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. Dr. Screnci takes care of my Punkin who has had many visits with her since she diagnosed him with irritable bowel disease. She is a wonderful and caring vet. Dr. Dixon took care of my Ziggy during his lifetime and now she is takes care of my Gracie who has been with me for a little over a year. Again, Dr. Dixon is a wonderful and caring vet. I would highly recommend Rothman to anyone who is looking for a vet.

Where do I begin -- first Dr Dixon and the staff at Rothman truely care about Charlie and our family. Every visit Dr Dixon not only ask about Charlie but my girls and family. Second, the office is clean, professional and easy to get appointments in a timely manner. We first went there when our prior vet office didn't have a doctor on call but Rothman was at the ready for our pug during an emergency. Third, I can't say enough about the advice Dr Dixon and her team have given us all along the way with Sir Charlie Winston They truly are the best.

Rothman Animal Hospital doctors and staff treat your pets like their own and provide quality veterinary care. I have been taking my cat and her 4 new kittens to Dr. Dixon since I rescued them, and they have been in such great hands under her care! All of the doctors are so passionate and thorough. So pleased with the service here.

I definitely strongly recommend Rothman Animal Hospital. I had 2 kittens in Fall 1998 that got botched declaw surgery from a different vet and brought them to Rothman because I'd heard only great things. Four cats later and all of them have been treated exclusively by Rothman. The staff are super friendly, patient and so helpful! My guys usually. see Dr. Dixon who is amazingly kind and caring with our furry babies and their parents, but have seen all the docs at some point or another and all are fantastic.
I don't trust anyone but Rothman with my animals. They're family so of course they get the best possible care and Rothman always delivers and then some. I appreciate them so much for all they do.

I used to take my previous fur baby to Rothman. When I had to put her down Dr Javic and staff we so amazing! It was the most difficult decision I've ever made and they were their to provide support. That was. four years ago. My birthday present last year was another fur baby. I've had nothing but positive experiences with everyone at the hospital and Betty Boop seems to be a big hit with the staff! I can't thank All of you enough! I think you're all incredibly amazing!

I love Rothman for my pets! My Carly gets excited as soon as we pull in the lot, and she is a breast cancer survivor thanks to the amazing doctors. My Susie Q had some traumatizing experiences at her past vet, but Dr. Dixon understands her and does wonderfully with her. Susie Q had surgery there this week, and she is healing great and back to her grumpy old lady self already!
I also bring my beardie Buddy to see Dr. Javic- he is amazing with exotics. I will always bring my babies to Rothman because they are treated like family by the whole team! Highly recommend.

I think with the hustle and bustle of everyday life and all the stressed and what not of this covid virus, I think we forget about the nice things people do for us and just the nice people in general. It took an email from you guys to remind me that, hey, there are people out there that are helping us during this time, risking everything and we just don't say thank you.
With all that being said, I just wanted to shout out and say thank you Rothman for everything that you guys do for our animals. Although King is now deceased, without you guys I don't think we would have enjoyed an extra six months with him. You guys made that possible and for that we are very thankful. Lady and mumu of course are always thankful for you guys and we continue coming to you. Shelly, I think I have dealt with you the most and you have been the most helpful and a total sweetheart. Dr. Javic is a lifesaver also!
We seem to come with him for every little thing with our precious animals. Trust is a big thing and we just don't take our animals to anyone. Just like we wouldn't take our children anywhere for babysitting. Love you guys and thank you for all you do. Please be safe Lisa M. Brzozowski Moo Moo and Lady's mommy

Rothman is the best of the best! Their passion for animals shows through their work every time I take my pets in. They are always thorough, caring, and understanding. I am the anxious client who always shows up with a list of questions and the Rothman staff are always willing to go through them all with me and address any concerns. They are truly the best at what they do.
