  Very professional. He actually showed me my x-rays without me asking, broke down what the exact issues are and how we’d go about things from here on out. Last place I had gone for this exact issue (it has grown worse in the intervening years as well, but that is a natural progression for the injury type) didn’t bother to do any of this (unless I pressed). I am a fan. Great sense of humour from what I could get out of him in the first visit as well. I’ll keep coming back to this one.

  I had a fantastic experience with the GPOA!! Also, I'm very pleased with the results of my bicep tendon repair in every way. My arm feels strong, pain is very minimal and the scar is barely visible. I wish I could go back through the entire process and thank each and every person involved. I truly appreciate it. Special thanks to Juan Giugale MD. The man was helpful in every way possible. He did an amazing job and he was great to talk to. Thank all of you.

  Had right knee down three years ago by another doctor. Went through hell. Ended up in ER twice. Took two months before I started to feel good. When I had left knee done by Dr. Evans I did not go through the hell as I did with my right knee. I was doing more in one week than I did in four weeks with my other knee. I have been out to two stores this week, 17 days after knee replacement. I'm thanking God everyday for Dr. Evans and his team. 💖

  Dr. Drabicki is truly an elite surgeon. He has done elbow surgeries on both myself and my husband. I’m definitely very picky when it comes to doctors and he has certainly earned my trust. He is a doctor who actually takes time to understand and listen to your concerns which is very hard to find anymore. He also explains things in a way that doesn’t take a PhD to understand. His assistant, Amanda, is wonderful as well. She handled all of our pre-authorizations , things needed prior to our surgeries and any questions we had before and after. She was also a great help with scheduling with my husband’s surgery being that he has such a crazy work schedule himself. All the office personnel are friendly as well. The only complaint I’d have, would be the scheduling center when you call. The hold times can be long and some of the people sound like they don’t wanna be there lol!

  I was referred to Dr. Rytel Buy a retired Orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Rytel did a total shoulder replacement of my left shoulder which had degenerative and arthritic changes which was painful. That procedure was done five years ago. The shoulder and my dominant right arm developed the same problems, again with pain. At the age of 82 I was reluctant to go through the procedure, but, after fall and accumulation of joint fluid outside of the joint capsule, This necessitated a replacement. The replacement was performed as an outpatient in Pittsburgh. I asked for an overnight stay as I was living alone. I was transferred to a rehab facility at The Willows for 2 weeks where I began therapy and recovery. I continued physical therapy, advancing exercises to get range of motion and strengthen my shoulder muscles. I’m now five months post surgery and have gained excellent range of motion. I’m still working on strength. Dr. Rytel is a very compassionate capable surgeon who listens to the patient. His surgical technique is excellent. I’ve achieved an outstanding result. I am an 82 year-old eye surgeon and can appreciate his compassionate care and surgical techniques and follow up. I highly recommend him.
