Dr. Keith Rott is a graduate of the Emory University medical scientist training program, where he obtained his MD degree and a PhD in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. He completed his residency in internal medicine and his fellowship in rheumatology at Emory. He remained at Emory as an assistant professor for four years and was involved with both patient care and medical education. Before returning to the Atlanta area and joining Wellstar, he was a partner in a multispecialty group in northwest Georgia, where he practiced rheumatology for 10 years.
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.

Hey, as a client, I found the provider very knowledgeable, definitely spent time talking to me, giving me feedback, and answering my questions. What was most impressive was he actually used a stethoscope to listen to my heart, listen to my lungs, and that was impressive because for whatever reason in Georgia, I have not found that to be the case with providers. He was definitely an old school type provider, and I greatly, greatly appreciated his care. All right, thank you.

Dr. Rott was a doctor I seen in place of my doctor at the time not being there, but he was amazing. I came in there with a very swollen and painful knee. He educated me on what was going on. He was very friendly. He just made me feel like a human being, and he's an amazing doctor. So I'm so glad that I got to work with him and his staff.
