Great visit. Very informative.

Dr Rodosky was wonderful and so were his PAs, nurse and PT person

I was asked what I hoped to get from this visit. I hope to get the right diagnosis and care to help me get back to as normal as possible to use my arm to full extent and not be limited. Yes I would absolutely recommend Dr. RODOSKY. He did my surgery before and my arm felt great afterwards. Which is why I returned. Thank you.

Very pleased with how well the staff including Dr listened to my concerns and able to determine a plan of action
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/19/2025
I had an excellent visit with the doctor. He did a phenomenal job, in my opinion, on repairing both of my shoulders surgically. I couldn't be happier with the results of two shoulder surgeries. I hold him in the highest regard. He's just excellent.

I assume I will need surgery on my left shoulder. Dr. Rodowsky operated on my right shoulder 12 years ago. Everything we great then and I anticipate that everything will be great again.

Dr.Rodonsky may be an excellent surgeon (as I'm told), I left not having a good understanding of any answers to my questions. In fact my ability to converse or ask questions was very limited.

Dr. R was in the exam room a very short time and was backing out the door through most of the conversation

Dr Rodosky was very upfront in giving my options; even telling me that surgery would be too extensive for me at my age; I appreciated his honesty!

Dr R, is the greatest surgeon, but not the greatest communicator. I will do PT, and hope for a good outcome.
- No RatingReviewed on 8/8/2023
I would never recommend this provider to anyone and honestly don't wanna return to this provider! He cut me off when speaking and completely under minded me! He took into no consideration that I'm in pain, and he was very opinionated on the fact I had no went to the pain clinic like another surgeon recommended
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/8/2023
I would definitely recommend Dr Rodosky. He performed. Rotator cuff surgery on both of my shoulders and I had little discomfort after each.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/2/2023
Came away feeling Dr Rodosky's confidence and expertise Gave me options other than surgery but because of his attributes and reputation I elected surgery

Entire experience was excellent.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/21/2023
The care that I received is amazing and have already referred this group.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/20/2023
Doctor took the time to explain my condition and the course of treatment
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/24/2023
I know this doctor schedules appointments 10 minutes apart, but he stayed answering questions for about 20 minutes. If he did that with some of his previous patients that day, that could explain why he was running behind.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/17/2023
If or when I experience another orthopedic problen I will not go anywhere else.
- No RatingReviewed on 5/10/2023
