Dr. Rudzki takes time and care to explain the issue in ways that make sense.
Appreciate the frankness of the conversation. Not a great deal of technical detail to support conclusions. Had to wait 45 minutes to be seen. Not covered by my insurance.
Attention to detail both pre and post op. I feel the surgery went long as he wanted to make my mess of a shoulder whole again. His staff (Dylan) is excellent as well - planning, follow-up, follow thru.
He is the best!
Fantastic experience. Thorough examination, clear and direct communication and diagnoses and every efficient.
There is no one better!
He continues to be the best💯
