Fr. Jan

Priest

St. Margaret Of York Parish

"I have been a patient of Dr. Mike Rohlfs for approximately six years and in that time he has helped me through some pretty serious issues with my lower back. He has been willing to take time in his treatment and to offer advice in overcoming the issues that have arisen. He has always made it a point to let me know what I need to do in order to improve my condition and recognizes when a different treatment is necessary and has referred me to other methods of pain management that he felt might be more effective. I highly recommend Dr. Rohlfs and have sent family members, friends and parishioners to him for treatment."
