She has expertise in performing electromyography and nerve conduction studies (diagnostic tests that assess electrical activity in muscles and nerves) as well as skin biopsies. She also works in satellite clinics in Santa Rosa and Monterey to help expand access to ALS treatment and is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to patients from rural and underserved areas.

    Dr. Rosow is amazing. I've never been able to ask her a question that she hasn't been able to answer succinctly and knowledgeably. She really knows her stuff. I'm always thankful for the insight she's able to provide.

    It is difficult to get an appointment with this care provider. It seems that she has too many patients to be able to see them in a timely manner although she does escalate to help me get an appointment when timing is critical. I think that any new patients would have a hard time being seen.

    Dr. Rosow is excellent at her job. Highly recommended.
    Oct 21, 2022
