N. Zel Rothstein, M.D., age 68, husband of Donna L. Eroh-Rothstein, of Phoenixville, PA, passed away on Thursday, January 23, 2020 surrounded by family after a courageous fight with pancreatic cancer. Born on January 12, 1952 in Rochester, NY, he was a son of Dr. Morton and Jean (Rosenberg) Rothstein of Buffalo, NY.
Dr. Rothstein grew up in Berkley, CA before moving to Buffalo, NY and graduating from Amherst High School. He received his undergraduate degree from the University at Buffalo, and attended medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. He would complete his residency in internal medicine at Temple University Hospital, and his fellowship in Cardiology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Dr. Rothstein was a dedicated physician at PMA Medical Specialists for 36 years, where he loved caring for his patients and community. All who knew him knew that he was a die-hard Buffalo Bills and Sabres fan. He enjoyed skiing, playing hockey and tennis, and was a talented rock and roll keyboardist as well. Most of all, family meant the world to him, and he loved spending time with them and taking family vacations.
