Alan Rothfeld
Alan Rothfeld, MD, who joined KGI in September 2006, received his bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, and his Medical Doctorate from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX.
He completed a residency in internal medicine at Baylor Affiliated Hospitals and a fellowship in pulmonary medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Rothfeld was in the private practice of pulmonary and critical care medicine for 25 years and has served as a member of the faculty at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, including as an assistant professor of medicine, clinical associate professor of medicine, and as a clinical professor of medicine.
Dr. Rothfeld has also been the medical director of the Los Angeles-based QueensCare Family Clinics, a multiclinic non-profit indigent care system. He was in clinical practice at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, where he served as Medical Director of a large intensive care unit and also as Vice President for Medical Quality.
Rothfeld is currently a faculty member at Santa Monica College and at Los Angeles Valley College, where he teaches courses in advanced respiratory and critical care. He is the medical director of the Respiratory Therapy Program at Valley College.
