I am a LMT over 25 yrs in Boca Raton. I have worked w professional athletes through out the course of my practice, I know the value of a fantastic Ortho in a diagnosis and recovery plan. Dr. Rudnick is exceptionally qualified and he is who I use as my own personal Dr. . He is conservative but very detailed in his diagnosis. His support staff is also the best Ive ever worked with. The best care start to finish!

Dr Rudnick has been treating me successfully for over 10 years years now on different bone/nerve related issues. As an orthopedic surgeon and as a health practitioner in his area of expertise, hes shown to be, time after time, an unsurpassed diagnostician, reinforcing my trust with every visit. His keen understanding of bio-mechanics an invaluable insight when range of movement is the cause of pain always reassured me when in crisis; and his impeccable bedside manner and attentive ear are additional virtues that have made our professional relationship a lasting one.
