I was in a car accident about 3 years ago and hurt my left elbow. I am left-handed. I went to a specialist who recommended an anti-inflammatory (which has since been determined to be unsafe), a cortisone shot and 3 months of physical therapy. After completing this regimen, I still had pain in my elbow, could not play golf, lift heavy items, and woke up often at night in pain when trying to change position. I went to an orthopedist, had an X-ray, was given another cortisone shot, recommended to take an anti-inflammatory, and given a prescription for 3 more months of physical therapy. After completing this regimen, I was only slightly better. I went back to my original doctor with my complaint of pain and inability to play golf and was told that I probably should not play golf anymore. She also suggested that I try one more cortisone shot. I explained that my internist is an alternative medicine doctor and did not want me to have any more cortisone shots. When she heard that I was a believer in alternative medicine, she recommended Dr. Steve Rosman. I was treated by Dr. Rosman non-needle microcurrent treatment, topical ointment and sublingual homeopathic remedies. I was treated over a period of 4 – 5 weeks. The treatments were painless and had no side effects. I started to experience less and less pain. I can now say that I am totally pain free, play golf and have no other restrictions. I wish my doctor had told my about Dr. Rosman sooner.

It is with a great deal of appreciation that I write to thank you for what you have done for me and my personal health over the past 6 years. I am a 67 year old gentleman who has the energy level of a 45 year old, and the physical appearance of a 45-50 year old. You have reduced my body fat ratio; you have toned and hardened my body and you have done this through your expertise in nutrition, diet and proper exercise training.
In addition to your extraordinary knowledge of weight management, fitness training and sports nutrition, you have lowered my cholesterol from 196 to currently 167 and you have reduced my blood pressure from 160 over 88 to a consistent level of 126 over 68. Being a classic type A individual, you have considerably lowered my stress level and hyperactivity to a very manageable level of calmness.V. F., Great Neck, NY
I am 57 yrs old, the mother of 3, as of yet not driving, teens. About 3 yrs ago I started getting back pains that became increasingly more painful & debilitating. It got to a point where all the driving I did was so painful I lived on Motrin during the day and Vicodan at night (neither did much to help make me more comfortable). I saw my internist who sent me to a neurologist who did multiple tests, prescribed Mobic (which didn't work); who sent me to a back surgeon (I went to two) both said I wasn't a candidate for back surgery even though I had herniated disks and arthritis. Both the internist & neurologist sent me for physical therapy which increased the pain. I then started with a pain management doctor who did facet injections which gave me relief for 1 month. He also prescribed medications to take at night to relax me & help me sleep (they didn't work). He then sent me to a chiropractor (I saw 2x's/wk) who helped tremendously but not enough to help relieve the pain while I drove (I was able to start sleeping a little better). I also saw an acupuncturist 1x/wk which didn't help. My chiropractor had suggested I see Dr. Rosman when I first started seeing her but I didn't want to see any more doctors! She kept after to me & I finally went. What a fool I was not to have seen him when first suggested!!! Within 8 wks the homeopathic meds he gave me, made me virtually pain free. I can now drive for hours w/out pain or discomfort. I can sleep soundly (rolling over is no longer extremely painful). The meds I'm taking will around 16 to 18 wks actually start rebuilding cartilage so that I may not have to take as much of the meds or as often. I am extremely thankful for having been sent to Dr. Rosman. He is truly talented in knowing what to do, help that for me, came easily and quickly.

After winding through the exhausting maze of traditional medicine and medication, we turned to Dr. Rosman for help for our 8 year old son, Robert. Robert has been diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy and ADHD. He was lethargic, unfocused and exhibited numerous "autistic like" tendencies. Dr. Rosman conducted some diagnostic testing that led him to the conclusion that Robert would benefit from a gluten free diet as well as a number of vitamin and mineral supplements. Within two weeks of starting this protocol, we noticed a remarkable difference in Robert's demeanor. He was more alert, energetic and focused. He could attend to academic and physically challenging tasks longer than ever before. It seemed as if little by little the "fog" was lifting and he could think and express himself more clearly. After a while, at the suggestion of Dr. Rosman, we began to explore biofeedback therapy for Robert. This, too, has been quite successful in helping Robert to be able to control his mind and body.
The work we have done with Dr. Rosman has been of far greater impact that all the methods we had tried before. It has been two years since we first met Dr. Rosman and Robert continues to flourish. His teachers are thrilled with his performance. He is healthy, alert and thriving. We are extremely pleased with Dr. Rosman's methods of treatment and the results they have yielded for our son.Rob and Jill Valli, New Hyde Park, NY
This is in regard to the treatment I have been receiving under the care of Dr. Steven Rosman. I have been a patient of Dr. Rosman’s for about five years and he has helped me tremendously with the management of my medical problems utilizing various nutritional supplements.
I am a 40 year old female with a diagnosis of Muscular Dystrophy and Osteoporosis. I have suffered numerous life threatening fractures, including both hips and my left femur. I suffer from severe muscle weakness and fatigue as well as significant joint pain and stiffness.
I have noticed significant improvement in my overall health following the recommendations provided by Dr. Rosman. I believe, along with my Neurologist, that the supplements prescribed by Dr. Rosman have slowed the progression of the muscle wasting due to the Muscular Dystrophy. In addition, I have had follow up Dexa scans which have shown improved T scores indicating a lessening of the severity of the Osteoporosis. The advice of Dr. Rosman which included nutritional counseling and some lifestyle changes as well as supplement prescription has enabled me to continue my busy, independent lifestyle. As a healthcare professional, (I am an Occupational Therapist), I value traditional medicine but can now personally attest to how complementary medicine can make a positive impact in the management of many diseases. I believe that I have had fewer visits to the doctor and am hopeful that I will avoid future fracture and hospitalization due to the care provided by Dr. Rosman.Deborah A Brienza, OTR, CHT

Howard Feirman, R.Ph. Prescription Headquarters East Meadow, NY
I am an endocrinologist and a specialist in women's health here on Long Island. I have known Dr. Rosman and have partnered with him for many years. His knowledge of natural medicine and his treatment of hormonal conditions (including thyroid and adrenal conditions, pms, perimenopause, and menopausal conditions), have helped so many of my patients over the years. He is compassionate, expert in his field, concerned about his patients, and more than willing to cooperate with a patient's physicians when requested or needed. I value his medical opinion and do not hesitate to recommend my patients to him.
Karen Schwartz, M.D.
I met Dr. Rosman about 10 years ago. My journey has been as both his patient and as a professional colleague. As a patient his skills with diagnosis and treatment turned my life around. About 10 years ago I developed very strong symptoms which included dizziness, fatigue, depression, insomnia, anxiety and sudden loss of energy. My symptoms were lasting for well over three months. I visited my Internist who was unable to determine the cause. I later learned that he had been very negligent with his attempts to diagnose and interpret test results. Still feeling awful I visited a psychiatrist colleague who diagnosed depression and prescribed an anti-depressant. He did not do any blood work ups. I did not use his prescription. I wasn't convinced that I was just depressed.
A friend then told me about her experiences with Dr. Rosman. He had been able to diagnose her physical problems which had eluded attempts by other physicians who had treated her. She was finally feeling well as a result of her work with Dr. Rosman.
I decided to consult with Dr. Rosman. He examined my current test results and saw many areas that were significant and in need of follow up testing. He recommended a colleague who also shared a holistic approach to medicine. Together proper testing was conducted and a diagnosis of Diabetes was confirmed. Dr. Rosman also discovered severe deficiencies with other major brain neurotransmitters. Through his approach I began using vitamins, nutrients and supplements. He changed my diet and life style. With assistance from my new Internist as well, I began to return to my normal self within six weeks. I have been doing very well since then. I still consult with the team of Dr. Rosman and my Internist to monitor and adjust my treatment.
Professionally I am a clinical psychologist. I have been in practice for 35 years. I work with children and adults. Many of my patients, particularly children, have conditions with biological origins such Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. For year I have been sensitive to the need for biological treatments as an adjunct to my work. Many of my patients required taking medication. Side effects unfortunately were a necessary component that had to be accepted when trying to control some of the biologically based symptoms. Over the years I searched for alternative treatments that could avoid these unwanted side effects.
As Dr. Rosman was treating my issues we explored how his perspectives could be applied to my patients. Working with him I found that many of my patients could be treated for their biological based symptoms without resorting to medications that were producing those unwanted side effects. Most of my patients reported great results from Dr. Rosman's treatment approach. They were happy to be free of side effects they had been experiencing.
Today, I now begin treating patients with biological components by first recommending a thorough evaluation with Dr. Rosman rather than jumping on the, " Lets Medicate" band wagon so commonly found in our society. I still have patients who will require psychiatric medications but I first want to rule out what can be done through a less evasive approach.
Dr. Steve Rosman is an extremely gifted clinician. His knowledge base allows him to see across all of the systems of the body to find the interactions that can lead to symptoms and problems. These interactions can be missed by specialists whose domain is limited to just one body system. He also is eager to keep his knowledge base current. I along with my patients have found him to be a gentleman as well. He is sensitive to the feelings of patients and is very comforting. I would highly recommend Dr. Rosman.MS, Nassau County Psychologist
My experience working with Dr. Rosman completely galvanized my faith in integrative medicine and non-pharmaceutical treatments. I had been suffering for months with what I now believe to be a post-viral syndrome. I had seen two neurologists, two internists, two endocrinologists, a vascular specialist, gynecologist, and chiropractor/homeopath. My symptoms ranged from exhaustion, dizziness, "brain fog", pins and needles and a host of other odd sensations, like feeling as though I had an ice pack on my head for no apparent reason. Aside from being frightful, it was rather difficult to maintain my lifestyle as a working mother. Most of the specialists said it was neurological (except for the neurologists); the chiropractor said it was endocrine, and one of the neurologists put me on an antidepressant - which actually caused me to feel depressed. There was some speculation among some of the specialists I had seen about a post-viral syndrome, but none had the least idea of how to actually treat such a condition.
A good friend introduced me to Dr. Rosman. His approach was truly integrative in that he insisted that I work with several traditional MD's to rule out certain possible diagnoses. Dr. Rosman compiled and reviewed all test results, and we were finally left with the post-viral theory. Since there is a lack of effective anti-viral pharmaceutical drugs, we looked to naturopathic options. Dr. Rosman recommended two powerful but natural anti-viral remedies. Within two weeks, I was feeling ninety percent better. My improvement continued...until I began to take my newly restored health for granted. I soon ran out of my natural supplements and within a few weeks my symptoms returned. Once again I began returned to his protocol, and once again, within two weeks I was feeling almost normal. My three months of combined time on the supplements have been the only time in the past year and a half that I have been almost completely symptom free.
I come from a traditional "medical" family and I have also been a "student" of natural and holistic remedies for many years. What I have learned is that for some ailments and diseases there is no better place one can be than in the care of a seasoned MD. But I am ever mindful that we (Americans) are the most diseased people in the world despite the fact that we spend more on healthcare than any other nation. Clearly traditional medicine does not have the answer for every condition. It is for this reason that I feel so strongly about my experience with Dr. Rosman - he has deep knowledge of both traditional and alternative medicine, and his patients are assured the benefits of both perspectives. He offers his patients truly holistic, compassionate care, and takes the required time to develop a sincere understanding of his patients on all levels - physical, spiritual and emotional. I am truly grateful to Dr. Rosman for his wisdom and kindness, and for helping me get my life back.T.S., Nassau County, NY
I have been lucky enough to have Dr. Rosman help me through the last 3 difficult years of my life. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and contacted Dr. Rosman to help me through my journey. He helped me change my diet and change my way of thinking. Thanks to Dr. Rosman, I can honestly say cancer was the best thing that happened to me. Dr. Rosman is knowledgeable about all areas of life. He has a positive attitude and helps you see life in a positive way. He is always available to talk you through any difficulties you may be having. He cares about his patients and will do whatever he can to help you through life's challenges. He is a rare doctor and I am blessed to have him in my life.
Hope F., Oceanside, NY
I wanted to write and thank you for your continuing treatment and advice. I have struggled with migraine headaches with aura for some years now. I have seen and been treated by neurologists, internists and chiropractors with little success.
Your approach to my condition was insightful, knowledgeable and most of all, effective. Nobody had thought of the types of comprehensive blood and neuro-profile testing that you suggested. Your subsequent personally tailored treatment involving nutritional adjustments and natural herbs was a prescription that was welcome and proved to be helpful faster than I had expected.
My symptoms and condition have improved remarkably and I have been pleasantly surprised by the results. Your compassionate and professional council, given in a reassuring manner, was every bit an education as much as a healing experience.Greg Noll
I regard Dr. Rosman as one of life’s gifts to me. A highly educated, giving and compassionate man with a unique integrity, he is a superior resource in complementary healing modalities. I am a person who uses medication as a last resort. I prefer to address the causes of conditions, rather than medicate the symptoms. Dr. Rosman is always my first call after getting a diagnosis. We then work together, along with my MD, on addressing the cause, through various complementary means. Specifically, he has helped me succeed in getting acid reflux under control without medication, guiding me to the knowledge I need to help myself, and the non prescription supplements to use when needed. He has never suggested that I purchase supplements directly from him, which would compromise my trust in his motivation for suggesting them. As to hereditary high cholesterol, with one simple suggestion alone, he had me hearing the words from my Dr. after my next blood work: “Your blood work regarding cholesterol is terrific. It’s exactly where we want it.” I was stunned. In my many years of dealing with genetic high cholesterol, using Lipitor and diet alone, I could never reach this goal. We did not eliminate the Lipitor, or change my diet, but added a simple natural supplement, with dramatic results. This is true complementary medicine, using the best of available healing resources, to treat, educate, and empower, each unique patient, on their path to better health. Dr. Rosman is a doctor whose sole aim is to assist his clients in finding own their way to wellness, with knowledge far beyond any traditional MD I’ve worked with. In place of my fear regarding health issues, Dr. Rosman has given me the gift of empowerment through his guidance, suggestions, respect and support. I can only say, from the bottom on my heart, Thank you, Dr. Rosman!
Anna, Melville, NY
When I first talked to Dr. Steve Rosman, I was lost in despair, both because of illness and because, at the time, I had no spiritual practice equal to my dilemmas. I thought no one could speak to me in my desolation. When you are isolated and alienated to the degree I was, the negativity seems impenetrable.
Dr. Rosman reached through it as if it were made of mist. He could see into the darkness that blinded me. He inspired me to do the hard work I needed to do to bring back healing light. That my background is Buddhist was no problem to him. He spoke to me in language I could take into my heart. It is not an overstatement to say that through him, I have been restored to life.Clay, Fulghum, Virginia
Dr. Steve Rosman, Ph.D., M.S., L.Ac., a specialist in complementary medicine and former Director of the Department of Complementary Medicine at ProHealth Care Associates, came highly recommended to me by my gynecologist, the late Maurice Cohen, MD who was aware of my health concerns.
At the time, I was suffering from frequent pain on my lower left side and was hospitalized several times for severe pain and fever. I was referred to a gastroenterologist who recommended a CT Scan and MRI to confirm the diagnosis of diverticulitis. After following my physician’s instructions with little success, I was advised that an operation might be necessary in the near future to remove some of my lower intestine. The painful episodes were not improving and although I did not want to have an operation if it could be avoided, the pain was difficult to endure at times.
Based on Dr. Cohen’s recommendation, I met with Dr. Rosman. Under his direction and care, utilizing homeopathic medicine, enzyme therapy and changes in diet my condition improved radically. I was relatively pain free and the need for surgery was no longer my only option.
To this day, I find that I can always contact Dr. Rosman and receive almost immediate advice whenever a concern arises. He works closely with my physician(s) receiving test results that help in his direction of care.
It has been several years since I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and utilizing Dr. Rosman’s counseling and exceptional strategies I continue to feel well and remain healthy. I can state unequivocally he has improved my quality of life and without hesitation would recommend his services to anyone looking to improve their life naturally.Cathy Toscano Lake Success, NY
Following my diagnosis with Ovarian Cancer in 11/03, and my subsequent surgery and chemotherapy, I was experiencing persistent and excruciatingly painful myoneuropathy. My oncologist recommended I see Dr. Steven Rosman to help me deal with the resultant pain, numbness and restlessness. She had heard of his earlier success treating post-chemo patients’ residual myoneuropathy without pharmaceuticals, in several cases which had not responded to time and “conventional” (drug) therapies. Having never been treated “holistically” before, I set my first appointment with Dr. Rosman with a little bit of trepidation. However, as soon as I met Dr. Rosman, he put me immediately at ease. Being in a client-serving business myself, dealing with Fortune 100 global priority clients for one of the “Big 4” professional service organizations, I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Rosman’s professionalism, respectful and compassionate attitude and obvious competency. His office is filled with books that he has either written himself or studied extensively – what is most impressive is his ability to consider all your symptoms/ailments, accurately diagnose the root cause and synthesize a comprehensive treatment plan that quickly works to heal the underlying condition, rather than just mask it, as so many drugs do. In addition to helping me with my physical symptoms, Dr. Rosman helped me effectively deal with the “post-traumatic stress” effects of my “cancer experience”, as well as the strain of simultaneously caring for my beloved Mom and ultimately losing her, tragically and suddenly, just this past year.
Two and one-half years after my initial consultation, I still see Dr. Rosman for ongoing stress management and a “natural” supplementation program that has helped keep me remain cancer-free. Combining exercise, his suggested daily vitamin regimen and stress management counseling and self-regulating techniques, I have been able to substantially eliminate the myoneuropathy, extreme fatigue, anemia, low platelet count, suppressed immune system, insomnia, stress and sleeping disturbances that resulted from my surgery and chemotherapy. I feel (and people tell me I look) younger, happier and more vital than ever. I wholeheartedly, and without reservation, recommend Dr. Rosman to anyone who wants a natural and effective way to restore and maintain essential good health and well-being, even under the most challenging of circumstances.DKO, Muttontown, NY
I have known Dr. Steven M. Rosman PhD, LAc, MS, LM for many years. He is one of very few holistically minded clinicians with whom I feel comfortable sharing the care of very difficult psychiatric patients.
Steven is very devoted to his patients, spending a lot of time and efforts helping to educate and heal them. He is always available-- working intensely and with deep sense of commitment with each and every person who seeks his expert help.
He spends a lot of time in self-education, progressing in his knowledge and skills. We frequently meet attending holistic meetings.
His expertise in treating complicating psychiatric cases has been particularly special to me. He is an expert in combining an orthomolecular approach with energetic medicine, expert use of nutrition and acupuncture, which is a rare skill.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Steven M. Rossman PhD, LAc, MS, LMHC to be your healthcare provider.
Michael I. Gurevich, M.D.
I have worked closely with Dr. Steven Rosman over the past 6 years in multiple areas. During this time Dr. Rosman has demonstrated not only a profound knowledge in the health, fitness, and sports nutrition fields, but also a great since of professionalism in all aspects of work.
Dr. Rosman helped develop and teach the nutritional aspect for the National Association of Fitness Professionals which was offered at Queens College. He also served on the Advisory Board. His course material was thorough and relevant to the students, and he delivered and handled questions with great knowledge. Time and again, he demonstrated the ability to relate it to the students and help them understand those concepts.
Dr. Rosman has also served as a consultant to me at my Fitness club on matters training and sports nutrition that were beyond my scope of knowledge. His professionalism has made my facility a stronger facility within the community. He adds a great perspective to problems a client may be having with an old injury, nutrition, or unhealthy habits. Utilizing Dr. Rosman’s expertise in these fields has added another dimension to my facility.
Finally, Dr. Rosman has proven a great source of incoming clients. He recognizes the value and need for either physical therapy or general fitness. After the referral, Dr. Rosman is a team player and is ready to discuss progress and any problems that may occur during treatment of the client. He is that rare combination of a wealth of knowledge and the compassion required to truly treat his clients and get them to a better place.

Dr. Steven Rosman has been my colleague for the last 14 years. I am a rheumatologist at PRoHEALTH Care Associates in Lake Success, NY and often see patients with difficult problems causing physical and emotional distress.
I have had the opportunity to send many of these patients to Dr. Steven Rosman over the years and have found him to be exceptional in his ability to handle even the most difficult of cases.
He is exceptionally knowledgeable regarding numerous medical conditions and has always been able to address many of the patient's medical and psychiatric issues with great command of the art of medicine. He often makes recommendations that include complementary medicine, as well as conventional medicine practices. I am never surprised by how patients are so drawn to him, as he very compassionately takes care of their needs.
I have had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Rosman speak at various conferences and have never been disappointed in terms of his encyclopedic knowledge as it relates to numerous physical and mental conditions. In particular, he has tackled patients with fibromyalgia likely the most difficult type of medical condition that exists in terms of normally poor results with conventional therapy. Dr. Rosman has been able to make recommendations that have allowed the patients to function normally in society when they have not been able to do so for a very long time.
He uses his skills in acupuncture, psychotherapy and his knowledge of complementary medicine to accomplish all of these tasks. He uses extensive laboratory testing to rule out various conditions normally not thought of in a conventional medical practice.
I have the utmost respect for Dr. Steven Rosman. He has been respected and admired by all of his peers.
EL, M.D., FACP
I have known and worked with Steven Rosman, PhD, LAc, MS for a dozen years. He was once the Director of the Division of Complementary Medicine here at ProHEALTH.
Over the course of this time, I have referred my patients who were suffering with a variety of complaints like malaise and fatigue, to weight management, to chronic pain, to anxiety and depression, to unmanageable stress, to smoking cessation, to chronic hypertension and elevated lipids, and more. Whether it was with his expert knowledge of acupuncture and oriental medicine, diet and exercise, nutraceuticals, homeopathy, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, or biofeedback, he has been able to help me resolve even the most retractive cases. He has been caring, concerned, attentive, and most of all, he has been very effective.
He has been a friend and a colleague. I have great respect for him as both.
