Patient Testimonials
"I have seen Dr. Rylander twice, and he is very knowledgeable, personable, and definitely considers his patients interests and goals when discussing/deciding treatment. He even hand sketched the anatomy of a shoulder for me to help me understand what was going on with mine. If you are able to book an appt with him, you should. A cool dude."
"Dr. Rylander is probably one of the best doctors that I have had at Kaiser. In my experience I’ve had a lot of doctors through Kaiser treat me like I’m just a number to them. I’ve never felt this way about Rylander. I’ve had many many appointments and a knee surgery with him and I’ve never had a poor experience. He’s so attentive and really explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. He makes it clear that he’s there for you and listens to any and all concerns. I could go on forever but I’m super appreciative of the way he treats me as one of his patients and truly admire his compassion for others!"
"From the very beginning I was completely satisfied with Dr. Rylander. He mapped out my reverse total shoulder replacement live on his computer showing me his reasoning for the reverse replacement. Pre-op was efficient and smooth and the surgery went off without a hitch. I have almost no scar and I am back to 90% mobility which is what was expected. I am in my mid 70's and have no ill after effects."
"I've had contact with many physicians over the years, some good, some less so. Dr. Rylander is top tier! I'm very grateful for his care & expertise. Always retaining Dr. Rylander would be a high priority if I were in hospital administration. He does work you can be proud of, from introduction to discussions with loved ones to the skills he brings to the OR, to his involvement in aftercare. He truly is the best of the best. Respectfully submitted. "
"What an awesome surgeon. I work with surgeons for a living and he is so easy to communicate with and opening to discussing care options. I could not be happier!!!"
