I had a very sore left thumb and I am left handed, so needed it taken care of. He gave me a shot in my thumb. It hurt really bad, but soon the pain started subsiding. I am now much better. Not pain free, it still hurts when I bump it sometimes.
This was a pre-op appointment. He explained every thing very thoroughly & in easy to understand terms. I am very much at ease with his plan of surgery.
I have a torn tendon in my right arm. Dr. Ratty an I discussed the treatment options. It was decided that at this time nothing would be done as surgery at this time may cause other problems. I am having no pain or problems moving my arm so I feel the recommendation made by Dr. Ratty is the one to follow. Dr. Ratty explained everything to me and was very kind, respectful and informative.
Dr. Rattay thoroughly described in detail of what procedures he did to repair my shoulder during my surgery. I was very satisfied with the surgery as well as the follow up appointment. I would very highly recommend Dr. Rattay to anyone.
I was greeted by a very friendly nurse that put me at ease then Dr. Rattey told me my hand needed surgery and described what needed to be done. Very caring.
