His breeds confidence in his abilities by sharing lots of information and lays out all the options before giving his strong recommendation of how to move forward. No one wants to have surgery but I feel confident that I am in the best of hands.

Have seen Dr Ruhlman a few times for both shoulders and hands - super comprehensive, informative and zero pressure for any particular course of treatment, just educates and discusses and lets the patient decide. Highly recommend.
