We treat every patient with the utmost of care, compassion, and respect. We realize that our patients’ time is valuable. Our patients should not have to suffer while waiting long periods in order to schedule an appointment. They should not be placed in a position to agonize over a return telephone call in order to have their questions answered. And they certainly should not be forced to waste hours of time in a Physician’s waiting room for a “scheduled" appointment. When a patient makes an appointment with an Orthopaedic Surgeon, the patient should be examined and treated by an Orthopaedic Surgeon, not by a Nurse, Medical Assistant, Physician Assistant, or other ancillary medical personnel. At Dr. Rudnick’s office, every appointment starts and ends with Dr. Rudnick in attendance. Healthcare in America appears to be on the decline; however, Dr. Rudnick and his loving staff will soon have you feeling as though you are a member of the family. You will receive old-fashion service and consideration while being treated with the latest of technology and innovative medicine techniques. Dr. Rudnick’s healing philosophy is to make every attempt to avoid surgery when possible, by first exhausting all non-surgical treatment options.
