When you’ve been injured playing the sport you love, you should have every confidence that your orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist can restore your movement. At Dr. Rytel’s practice, you’re not just another patient -- you’re a player who’s waiting to get back in the game, and he’ll help you make a full recovery as quickly and effectively as possible. For even more personalized care, Dr. Rytel offers outpatient surgery at the private East Side Surgery Centre on Centre Avenue in Shadyside. We’re also proud to accept all insurance products local to the Pittsburgh area, including UPMC and Highmark. Dr. Rytel serves patients in both UPMC and Highmark facilities as needed.
