Dr. Michael Rytel, MD

I’ve been getting steroid shots on both shoulders about every 3 months. They always work. Dr. Rytel is very reliablr!

Dr. Rytel just did surgery on my right knee last week. I cannot say enough good things about him and his staff. He is compassionate and listens to your concerns. You can see he genuinely cares and wants to help you.

Dr. Rytel has a great bedside manner. Calm, pleasant, efficient. This is my 3rd knee injection with him and he keeps me grounded. ( The shots are somewhat uncomfortable but highly effective). I highly recommend him. BTW I was an end of day appointment and they were rather behind but I never felt rushed .

Dr. Rytel has a good bedside manner. He suggested rotator cuff surgery. In addition, he explained the surgery in great detail and what to expect. My recovery was and continues to be a success. I am at 2 years post-surgery now and had full shoulder function in no time with a quick recovery. Thank you

After putting off shoulder replacement for years, I finally had a complete reverse shoulder replacement performed by Dr. Rytel. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I found him to be informative, caring I truly believe he is one of the best shoulder surgeons in the Pittsburgh area. He is the only one I would go to in the future.

I have seen Dr. Rytel for both my shoulder and left knee. He listens to everything that I have to say and is so compassionate. He is easy to talk to and makes you feel like he is genuinely concerned. He has helped me tremendously every time I have had to see him. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I went to see Dr. Rytel for a second opinion on my knee. I found him to be compassionate and informative. My first experience with a cortisone injection 28 years ago was so bad that I couldn't bring myself to have a second. Dr. Rytel's approach gave me the confidence to have it done, and I am so glad I made the decision to go to him. I would happily recommend him to anyone seeking an orthopaedic specialist!

always helpful. thorough examination and explanation

Dr. Rytel is a compassionate man with a gentle manner. He listens and is honest in his answers. I highly recommend him.

I have been going to GPOA for over 22 years starting with Dr Graham Johnstone for a hip replacement originating from AVN. Since then, I have used them for other hip replacements , knee replacements & now Dr Rytel for a shoulder problem and elbow problem all due to arthritis. Dr Rytel is a good listener, answers all questions, & aims to solve the specific problem that you have.

Awesome Doctor and staff

I went to see Dr. Rytel for the first time today for my left shoulder and right knee. I found Dr. Rytel to be very caring and compassionate. He listened very carefully to my concerns and issues that were related to my left shoulder and right knee. He answered all of my questions and outlined a plan to address my shoulder and knee issues. He is a stellar doctor who truly dedicates himself in providing the upmost care for his patients. I am so glad that he is my doctor!!!

I have seen Dr.Rytel for my knee, I was pleased on how fast in got into his office as a new patient. I can only say what a great Dr. and staff. He made me feel very at ease, as I have great fears. his office was very friendly and fast. I would highly recommend.

I found Dr. Rytel in 2013, after I had a bad experience elsewhere. A friend, fellow snow sports enthusiast, and doctor of physical therapy had recommended Dr. Rytel to me. I’m so grateful to have found him! He fixed my knee and continues to keep my shoulder functioning for all the paddling and swimming adventures I am not ready to give up. As a healthcare professional myself, I find him and his staff to be exceptional. I trust him to be compassionate, straightforward, and consistent. I recommend him to anyone needing repairs. He’s definitely one of the best in our region.

I trust him , that's what is most important to me . I have seen him for several conditions ~ he always puts me back together !

I've been seeing Dr. Rytel since last year for shoulder issues. He and his staff are wonderful!

Dr Rytel took care of me as he always does. He never rushes, always explains everything and lets you know what your best options are. He always answers all your questions so that when you leave you are well informed. I only wish all of my Dr's were as thorough as Dr Retell.

Dr. Rytel and his staff are fantastic! Dr. Rytel himself could not be nicer. He explained everything to me and made me feel very comfortable and like I was in great hands. They squeezed me in as a new patient same day appointment and he was on time and I was in and out within a half hour. I can't say enough nice things about my experience.

Dr. Rytel is very thorough, kind and takes the time to listen to me.

I had shoulder pain. Saw Maggie the P.A then Dr Rytel both were very very good and thorough. Dr Rytel has repaired both of my rotator cuffs over the years and i am extremely pleased. I would recommend to and have recommend ed patients to this him and this practice. Office staff is excellent also.
