Report
Dr. Ryu was right one time which was refreshing. However, he spoke much too fast for me to absorb the information and consider two very different approaches to my frozen shoulder. Not the right doctor for me.

I am so thankful I went with Dr Ryu over my other options. He is all about results, and not afraid to say it like it is. He may not have the most gentle bedside manner, but I respect that! I dislike being babied and Im all about achieving the best outcome possible... Dr Ryu was the perfect choice for me and the results speak for themselves. 16 years post op and my acl (cadaver ligament) replacement is still holding strong! His post op rehab team pushed me hard, and again thats what I wanted... Ill slack if Im allowed to but they didnt let me dictate my rehab timeline one bit

Dr. Ryu and his entire team are the benchmark for Orthopedic Surgery. I was extremely impressed with every aspect of my operation from diagnosis to recovery. Im also thankful for all he is doing to support our military.

Dr Ryu was recommended to me 10 years ago when I had a meniscal injury. Recommended by several doctors in town, many of whom I work with as I too am a physician, I took their advice. My surgery and recovery went great. I was 100% satisfied with my results. Now that I have sustained a new meniscal injury the choice was easy. I am post op 1 month and am nearly back to normal. I never had any pain or significant swelling after the surgery and could not be happier with his service. Perhaps the best arthroscopist I have ever encountered. Thank you Rick.
