Philosophy of care | My focus is always compassionate care. My goal is always providing the individualized care each patient needs. Many of my patients require collaboration across multiple specialties. I was always taught that complex problems may require not just knowledge, but also the courage to tackle what may seem an uphill battle. | Why I entered medicine | There are few professions where you can help others become whole again. Sitting at the bedside of a patient and providing care has always captured my interest. | Community involvement | In transplant medicine and cancer care, community outreach and education are central aspects of daily life. It is a specialty that is always evolving and advancing at a rapid pace. Throughout my career, I have made it a mission to reach out and share such advances with the community around me. This can happen through community events and by partnering with local charities and nonprofits. | Personal interests | I enjoy traveling, seeing new places and skiing. Perhaps the biggest joy of all is doing all of it with my children. Dr. Rofaiel is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Polycystic Kidney Disease. His top areas of expertise are Nutcracker Syndrome (NCS), Polycystic Kidney Disease, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Kidney Transplant, and Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant.

"Philosophy of care | My philosophy took root on graduation day the moment I recited the Hippocratic oath, and I continue striving to embody its principles in my practice. Through my experiences, particularly in caring for ill family members and navigating my own health challenges, I have come to believe compassionate care is paramount. In times when answers are elusive and treatments fail, empathy and understanding provide the greatest comfort, guiding us to truly support those in our care. | Why I entered medicine | I often say ""medicine chose me"" or ""transplant chose me."" While my passion for making a meaningful difference in patients' lives has always been a driving force, there has also been a sense of serendipity – an almost guiding hand leading me to this calling. | Community involvement | Community and charity involvement in transplant care are essential for raising awareness and providing support. I have spearheaded living donor workshops, delivered presentations for national kidney meetings and served on the organ procurement board and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee at the American Society of Transplant Surgeons. These initiatives help educate patients about organ donation, alleviate financial burdens and foster a supportive community, ensuring more individuals can access the care they need and helping align our professional community with our patient’s needs. | Personal interests | My personal interests include soccer, with a particular passion for Liverpool FC. I have a deep appreciation for artistry and poetry, and one of my favorites is ""If"" – a poem by Kipling that resonates with me, especially after becoming a father. I've even published some poetry of my own. Music also plays a significant role in my life; I enjoy all genres. Additionally, I love exploring new places and traveling, as I believe experiences shape us the most.".

His top areas of expertise are Polycystic Kidney Disease, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection, Kidney Transplant, and Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant.
