WILLIAM (WILLY) ROTHMAN

Condolences & Memories (13 entries)

• I first started visiting Dr. Rothman's office when I was very young with my parents. So young that I recall him letting my sister and I use his scale where I remember the two of us weighed 90lbs combined. Later as I grew up it was a solid 15 years I did not go to his office until I had a minor work injury I visited him. Instantly he recognized me, he had a very unique and impressive talent with people. I used to tell him he should start a side gig as a psychiatrist. He was a great guy and very professional at the same time. - Posted by: Neil W (Former patient) on: Jan 18, 2023

• I was shocked to learn of my dear friend's passing. The wound is still fresh and I doubt it will ever heal. He was a lovely young man, with his humble ah, gosh grin that belied his sharp wit and oblique sense of humour. A gentle, lovely soul. A credit to his strong family roots, he will remain always in our hearts. - Posted by: DEBORAH MAHONEY (Former patient) on: May 18, 2021

• Dr. Rothman was an amazing chiropractor and a wonderful human being. He helped me return to my work after several accidents left me with lingering pain. My elderly father was given a wrong diagnosis on chronic pain for years. Dr. Rothman was able to diagnosis the real issue with one short visit to his office. He was a kind and giving man who's sense of humour was a joy to experience. I did not learn of his passing till today and was shocked and saddened at the news. - Posted by: Connie Embury (Former Patient) on: Aug 27, 2020

• I am heartbroken to come across Dr. Rothman’s passing recently as I have not seen him in a long time. After many years of painful back issues Dr. has always fixed me, and always managed to make me laugh and put a smile on my face. As I had been doing well physically, I haven’t been by the office, a time now I deeply regret. What a wonderful and caring doctor! I hope you are resting in peace Dr. Rothman, what an honour it was to have known someone like you. - Posted by: Tessa (Patient) on: Feb 23, 2019

• Saddened to have just learned of Dr. Rothman's passing. He was a great doc and always knew how to fix my back. He was kind to all and had a good sense of humour. Condolences to his family. I'll miss telling him how he really "cracks me up"! Rest in peace Dr. Rothman. You were the best. - Posted by: Cheryl (patient) on: Oct 02, 2018

• I am actually saddened to hear that Dr. Rothman passed away. I was just about to book an appt. to see him and came across this ad and I am very sad for the loss. He has been my chiropractor for over 10 years and will always remember his kind and gentle tone of voice. He would always say 'kamusta' and 'salamat' to me. He was such a pleasure to have as a chiro. Will truly be missed. - Posted by: Michelle Pratap (Patient) on: Aug 14, 2018

• I have thought a lot about Dr. Rothman since first hearing of his illness. He was a joy to work with and I so enjoyed his sense of humour. He just had a way of seeing the quirks in people and situations. Really made me laugh with his observations. In May of 2017 I ran into him while doing some errands. He was on his beloved Ducati and he told me how much he enjoyed riding. Even though I saw him after that, it's that moment I now remember the most. It's amazing how quickly time passes and you realize the person has been gone for almost two months. Gone but not forgotten. He made a lasting impact and I think that's what we all want. - Posted by: Liz (Colleague) on: Jul 09, 2018

• I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rothman at WCB. Not only was he a brilliant man, but kind, patient and caring. I had come to see him for an opinion on a file when I was 8 months pregnant. We were chatting and I told him I was moving on the weekend to which he asked ‘are you moving your stuff alone?’ I said yes with the help of my fiancé and he asked me where I was moving to. Not thinking much of it, I gave him my general location/street. That weekend, while moving, this man drives past my house as I am moving and reverses to stop right in front of me. It was Dr. Rothman! Shocked I asked what he was doing here and he simply responded ‘I came to help you move because I figured you could use some.’ That is kind of person he was and he will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Janice V.

• I met William over 30 years ago, was referred by my doctor and have been seeing him since. He certainly was a great man and very good at his profession, he always made me laugh and I always joke about wanting his bike. Whenever I went to see him I'd tell him I came to pick up my "bike". I will miss him. RIP William. - Posted by: Louise Branconnier (patient) on: Jun 05, 2018

• Dr. Rothman was truly a great man. I worked for “Doc” for many years and so enjoyed. It was a pleasure to work for a man that had so much compassion for people. His heart was BIG and his smile was even bigger. We truly had many, many laughs together. Doc was very much respected by all his patients. I did have the opportunity to speak with Doc on his birthday in November in which we had a lot of laughs reflecting back on past memories. My thought and prayers go out to all his family & friends. Rest In Peace Doc. 😢 - Posted by: Tracy Bieker (Friend and past employee) on: May 25, 2018

• Willy was one of a kind. He was soft spoken but hilarious, and had an easy smile that eased tensions and calmed a room. He was an integral member of every community he belonged too, not the least of which was his family. Willy came on my stag with me, and made fast friends with a group of hard-partying 30 year olds. On the very first night in Scottsdale, we had to ask him to come inside when he and a few of the younger guys decided to continue the party on the patio until 4am. That's the kind of guy he was. He made friends easily and didn't prejudge people. He was easy to talk to, fun to be around, and made my life better in the short time I knew him. I will always remember Willy as a patient, thoughtful, and kind man, and as one who set an example for how I should live my life. - Posted by: Will Rossall (son in law) on: May 25, 2018

• I have been seeing William for many years as a patient, he was considered a friend as well as a chiropractor. He made you feel comfortable at his office and also have good chats every time I went in. Great doctor and great friend he will be truly missed. Always had a big smile and teasing and joking every time I went. RIP William, ride high on that bike in the sky. - Posted by: Beatrice Aymont (Patient) on: May 25, 2018

• I met Willy almost 30 years ago when I had a car accident 5 min from his office. I was referred to him and have been going all these years. Even though I moved with both home and work to opposite ends of the city I always went to see Willy for a tune-up. He was one of the most caring, heartfelt people I know. He could always make you laugh. The min-mister and I were very saddened to hear of your passing. May you ride free and enjoy the wind at your back. Heaven received one of the good ones. RIP Willy. ❤️ - Posted by: Dana Valente (Patient/friend ) on: May 23, 2018
