5.0 star star star star starDr. Gryzlo was very interested in making sure I was comfortable during the whole process and he explained everything in detail and made sure I understood. He was not a doctor where I felt uncomfortable asking questions and I really appreciated that

5.0 star star star star starThis was my first time meeting with Dr Gryzlo. He was very knowledge, comforting and listened to my concerns and my history. I highly recommend him and his staff and look forward to being a new patient.

5.0 star star star star starThree years ago he performed a successful repair of a rotator cuff on my right shoulder. Since then my shoulder has been if anything stronger than before. I now need roughly the same process on my left shoulder, and his careful explanations of the procedure and its possibilities I have been very reassuring.

5.0 star star star star starBecause he eliminates my pain and has for years without surgery and just like today I’m 78 years old he gave me injections in both of my knees I have no cartilage in one and the pain has dissipated and I would recommend him to anyone especially if they could walk a mile or two a day after being under his care

5.0 star star star star starDr. Gryzlo repaired my meniscus a few years back and from the moment I saw him at the clinic, I felt comfortable with my health in his hands. His staff is very professional and treat me like a valued patient / customer. Dr. Gryzlo takes the time to explain what's going on with my knee or why I'm injured and how and why he's choose a specific treatment.

5.0 star star star star starA doctor on staff at NM, who helped my brother-in-law’s son recover from a life threatening illness, recommended him. And the fact that Dr. Gryzlo is the team physician for a professional sports team was also an inducement.

5.0 star star star star starDr Gryzlo is an exceptional Dr. He takes his time with you and suggests the best options for me. He's not a Dr who rushes surgery. He likes to do different TX 's to start with. He's got an incredible bedside manner & just a wonderful Dr and person. I have sent my son and mother to him and they can not express enough about how excellent he is. I travel to see him and he's 1000% worth it. He's the BEST!

5.0 star star star star starHe had given me options on how to treat my condition and discussed the benefits and risks of operative vs. non-operative care. It was my choice to make and I chose surgery. I am just starting the post op journey but I believe I made the right decision.
