      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.
