Honest. Kind, professional manner. Thoroughly explanations.
Dr Rudzki is positive, realistic, and helpful in finding ways to heal our injuries. His strong recommendation of the P.T. gave me the confidence to work for a solution without surgery. He’s very pleased for me. Surgery may be in the future, and I’ll stick with Dr Rudzki.
Great rapport with patients. Answered all my questions
He’s the best!
Quick, smart, and has good people skills. No heroic orthopedic cowboy here.
Dr Rudzki is as good as any doctor I have seen ( I’ve had 10 surgeries and 20 broken bones, most from failed athletic attempts). He is polite, but very direct. That lets me know exactly what I should and should not do in recovery. His medical knowledge is clearly exceptional, yet he can communicate specifics to his patients in ways they can completely understand. The best
Patiently answered all questions and explained clearly.
Dr Rudski is the best. Great pre-op instructions, explanations and guidance , terrific post op care and great results for my shoulder surgery.
I had an appointment with Richard Barth and he was a 5!
I cannot say enough about Dr Rusky and his team Dylan his assistant. There was very little wait time, and he certainly addressed all of my questions and concerns.
