    How was your appointment with Dr. Rytel?

    Feb 11, 2022
    Dr. Rytel has a good bedside manner. He suggested rotator cuff surgery. In addition, he explained the surgery in great detail and what to expect. My recovery was and continues to be a success. I am at 2 years post-surgery now and had full shoulder function in no time with a quick recovery. Thank you
