As a fellow pain physician, I have had the greatest pleasure in working with Dr. Peter Rothbart in his clinic in Toronto for several years. I developed the highest respect for his knowledge and skills in treating cervicogenic headache. Hence, I am using his techniques with great success when treating patients in my pain management practice in Buffalo, New York.

Dear Peter:
On many occasions I have thought how fortunate those of us who deal with cervicogenic headache are that someone has gone to such length as to organize meetings where we can share information and learn from each other. More than any other individual that I know, you deserve credit for years of dedication to this field and taking the time and immense inconvenience to advance our knowledge. When I first met you in June of 1993 in Stresa, Italy, I realized how much effort you had put into making that meeting a reality. It was you that went to the great expense of having Dr. Nikolai Bogduk in attendance, which added great credibility and stimulate me to aggressively pursue research in this area. Much of the progress that I have made and attempted to communicate in the last two years has been because of you, and I wish to thank you for it. It is indeed, a privilege and honor to see patients from you and your colleagues in Toronto and collaborate on research. I look forward to continuing our efforts. I am confident that the upcoming meeting in Toronto will be a huge success.
Once again, sincerest thanks for all of your efforts.
Sincerely,
Kurt P. Schellhas, MD
Director of Neuroimaging and Spinal Injection Procedures
When I refer my patients to the Rothbart Pain Management Clinic I am confident that they will receive both kind care and expert treatment. My patients are the beneficiaries of the clinic medical staff's compassion and technical skills applied in a manner rare among pain clinics, in that they treat not only the pain but also the suffering. The Rothbart Pain Management Clinic is not hesitant to seek additional consultations or make further appropriate referrals, and do not labor behind a simple modality ideology. Rather, they treat or get treatments that the patients truly need.
I recommend the Rothbart Pain Management Clinic unconditionally.
Sincerely,
Frank Adams, MD, FRCPC, DAAPM

The Rothbart pain clinic is a well established pain clinic in Toronto under the guidance of Dr. Peter Rothbart, whom I have known for many years. It has been instrumental in bringing to the fore the importance of Cervical Pathology as a cause of chronic pain. It has also been instrumental in developing a number of protocols for the treatment of this entity.
Sincerely,
Dr. Howard P. Jacobs
