Patient Reviews
Feb 09, 2024
Dr Rynning was recommended to me from someone else in the medical field and he helped remove my clavicle plate that had been put in years prior by a different surgeon. I felt extremely confident in him as an upper extremity surgeon and he spent ample time with me in his office and during the surgery to make sure everything was done perfectly. Had a great experience with office staff as well.
