General Practitioners

• Arthritis

Radiologist

• MRI
  For a few weeks after the church retreat, I babied that right knee. When the pain didn't go away, I went to Dr. Rizk again. An MRI confirmed a torn meniscus. "I can definitely fix it with arthroscopy," he said with the same confidence as my previous doctors.
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography

Surgeons

• General Surgery
• Arthroscopy
  No way, I thought. That's where I draw the line. I'd done a fair amount of reading on knee replacement. It was major surgery, requiring months of rehab-months when I'd have limited mobility. Plus, there was no guarantee it would work. It was a lot riskier than arthroscopy, after all.
• Wound Care
  My care after surgery was exceptional, as well as home care. My wound care was perfect and very little scaring. No infections or complications. My last visit to Doctor Rizk was March 20th and I'm now back to the life I thought was done. I am so overjoyed with my hip replacement, I tell my story to anyone who cares to listen. Words cannot express my gratitude and complete satisfaction with Doctor Rizk and his staff. I know it may not be appropiate to hug your doctor, but I did !! Thank you, Doctor Rizk.”

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Arthroscopy
• Hip Replacement
  “On March 13, 2019 I had a right total hip replacement. Prior to having this surgery I walked at least 1 - 2 miles a day (4-5 days a week) at the mall and it was extremely painful. When Dr. Rizk told me that I needed a hip replacement I dreaded hearing that because I was afraid of how it would restrict my activities and how it would affect my lifestyle.

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  I had the surgery and was up walking and doing physical therapy 3 hours later. I was discharged from the hospital the next day! I took the pain medication for only 1 - 2 days after discharge and then I only needed Tylenol or Advil after that.
