About Keith Rott, MD
Dr. Rott was introduced to rheumatology at an early age when a sibling was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. He enjoys working with patients to understand their diagnosis and their treatment so they can achieve the best possible outcome. He enjoys staying up to date with the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment of rheumatologic diseases, but still believes in the value of listening to the patient and obtaining a complete history and performing a thorough exam in order to establish the proper diagnosis. He treats a full range of rheumatologic conditions, including all types of inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic autoimmune diseases such as lupus, crystalline arthropathies such as gout, inflammatory muscle diseases, vasculitis, and osteoporosis.
A native of Florida, Dr. Rott has lived in Georgia since moving to Atlanta to attend Emory College. He is board certified in rheumatology. He is a past president of the Georgia Society of Rheumatology and is a fellow of the American College of Rheumatology. When not in the office, he enjoys reading, any outdoor activity, and spending time with his wife, son, and 2 dogs.

Yes, Dr. Rott is a very compassionate provider and does listen and does truly try to explain your medications and the protocol. And the Vining's Health Park is a wonderful and convenient location for where I live. So I'm very happy with that facility.

This was my first visit. Dr. Rott was courteous, caring and professional. I really had no idea what questions to ask, but he listened and ordered tests to try and find my problem. His NP that came in first was really nice and very professional. She tried to put me at ease about my first time visit.

Um, yeah, so I called today to let the message for, um, somebody to call me back and say, call me back. And yet they haven't called me. Um, there was two blood tests that was supposed to be done that wasn't done. I have questions about, um, and yet I still have questions about, so yeah, I'm not really, um, impressed with what I've, um, I'm actually thinking about just finding another doctor, um, a, uh, a second opinion because I don't understand why we have blood work that wasn't done and then we didn't think that we should do it. Even though it wasn't done, I think that the blood work should be done. So I'm not really thrilled about my overall experience at all. I'm certainly not thrilled at five o'clock on the afternoon that I call the morning of and I still have yet to receive a phone call back from anybody. So yeah, I'm not thrilled at this at all. So anyway, thanks, yep, bye.

I honestly don't believe anything will come of this because I suspect Dr. Rott treats most of his patients the same way he treated me. I've been dealing with dizziness and nausea for four years and have brought it up repeatedly to various doctors. Instead of a diagnosis or help, I was subjected to countless tests and ultimately told, "We don't know what else to do." Eventually, on my own, I discovered that dizziness and nausea are potential symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome. When I mentioned this, Dr. Rott immediately began shaking his head, dismissing what I said, and responded, "If you had a vestibular issue, the ENT would've found it", as if doctors are infallible and incapable of missing a diagnosis. It was condescending and invalidating. I'm tired of arrogant physicians like Dr. Rott who dismiss my lived experience, ignore my input, and do nothing to actually help. I deserve better care than this.

Yes, Dr. Rott is a very compassionate provider and does listen and does truly try to explain your medications and the protocol. And the Vining's Health Park is a wonderful and convenient location for where I live. So I'm very happy with that facility.

"First visit to Vining WellStar was exceptional. From the doctors office to the lab and Xray, everyone was kind, cheerful, and helpful. Highly recommend."
