Dr. Rothy graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, completing his Bachelor of Science degree in neuroscience and biology. He then earned both his Master of Science degree in applied anatomy and his Doctor of Medicine degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio.

When he is not seeing patients, he enjoys spending time with his wife Megan and their three dogs. They enjoy camping, hiking, and playing tennis. When the weather doesn't cooperate, he can be found in his woodworking shop in the garage making cutting boards or furniture for friends and family.
