Client Testimonials

"After struggling with knee pain for over a decade, I finally decided to move forward with a total knee replacement. Dr. Ratner made the entire process feel easy and reassuring. He explained everything clearly and used robotic technology to make sure the implant was placed perfectly. Within weeks I was walking without pain—and now I’m back to hiking again! I wish I’d done this sooner."

Michael T.

Greenville, SC

"I tore my rotator cuff in a tennis match and was worried I’d never get back to playing. Dr. Ratner was amazing from start to finish. He performed an arthroscopic repair, and I was surprised how quickly I recovered. His team made scheduling and follow-up simple, and the care felt very personal. Six months later, I’m back on the court and stronger than ever."

Lindsey R.

Simpsonville, SC

"Dr. Ratner reconstructed my ACL after a soccer injury, and I can't thank him enough. As a college athlete, returning to peak performance was everything—and he got me there. He walked me through each phase of rehab and kept me motivated throughout the process. I felt like I had a coach and surgeon in one. I’m back on the field and more confident than before."
