Dr. Michael J. Rytel

Your Trusted Sports Medicine Doctor

Unlike the care you’ll find at larger sports medicine and orthopedic practices, Dr. Rytel’s approach is all about you: his individual, personalized, patient-first approach keeps the focus on your needs, your goals, and your recovery as you work with him to get back in the game. We facilitate a personalized, empathetic and welcoming environment for every patient who walks in the door, and we gladly treat patients of all ages, from high school and college athletes to adult athletes who play sports recreationally. Dr. Rytel can even assist you with workers’ compensation if you’re injured on the job.

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.
