A board-certified neurosurgeon, Dr. Rosner has been practicing since 2003. He has been with George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C., for seven years and is affiliated with George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates.

As part of the leadership team of the GW MFA and SMHS, he is responsible for growing the clinical and academic footprint of the department and bolstering the department's local, national, and global reputation.

Dr. Rosner has several clinical and research interests in spinal column disorders and neuro-trauma. His clinical interests include complex spine disorders such as scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis of all age groups, degenerative spinal pathology, revision spine surgery, deformity correction, spinal oncology, minimally invasive spine surgery, and neuro-trauma. His current management style utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to managing spinal column disorders.

Before embarking on his professional journey, Dr. Rosner received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. A graduate of the Medical College of Wisconsin in 1995, he completed a surgical internship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. the following year.
