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.

I was told to log in at 2:45 p.m. before my appointment scheduled at 3:00 p.m. I logged in and there was no one there but me. No one come on to let me know anything. I kept calling to office to see what happened and it took several phone calls until I finally got someone to answer the phone. I was told Dr. Rott was still with a patient but I had been waiting on the video call for at least 25 minutes before anyone responded. This was not good patient service.

Needed a nexus for V A claim but Dr ROTT did not want to listen to what was needed or didn't want to go over his 10 minutes. I was not asking him to say R A was caused by agent orange exposure but to see what nexus required, but couldn't get that far with him.
