Enjoyed the visit with Dr Ryan

I'd recommend Dr. Modlinski for Top Knee Doctor in Louisville. The shots I got prior to Dr. Modlinski's experience in my knees when I had tried to find them cheaper.. Didn't work. Someone who wants something to work well changes everything. I'll hang my hat on Nortons is blessed to have him on staff. And Kay too!

Dr M did an excellent job at explaining my test results. He took time to explain options and procedures. I didn't feel rushed like he needed to get the next patient. Will definitely recommend him!

I was fitted with a boot at the emergency room a week prior to the visit. The boot was just put on my foot with no instructions about how to properly use it. Dr. Modlinski made sure I got that information. He and his NA went step-by-step as to how to put it on correctly. For instance, I didn't even know there were pockets on each side that can be inflated to add extra support to my ankle! I thought the knobs were there to cushion my leg in case I bumped into something!!! Duh

The Dr. Is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what he's doing throughout my visit and the treatment plan. He's respectful and very serious. The assistant, Kay, was very kind and respectful. She really helped me throughout the visit. She helped to calm my fears about my condition by making me feel relaxed ava cared for.

Dr. Modlinski is a rock star when it comes to "non-surgical orthopedic" care, in particular the Sports Medicine aspects. He is very patient, thorough, and clear in explaining his assessment, including using the x-ray of my hips to explain the nature and degree of my problems. He is highly supportive and encouraging with respect to advising me, as a 74 year old, how to continue to actively participate In my fitness and strength-building program. His advice is helpful to me in "managing expectations" about what I can do and my limitations, and how to work within those. This is my third visit with Dr. Modlinski and he consistently leaves me with a plan of action

Dr. Modlinski is the BEST. Thorough and takes time to explain everything.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/24/2025
I loved how thorough Dr. Modlinski was. He spent quite a bit of time with me, explaining the details of my sprained ankle and small fracture. I appreciated the amount of time and detail he took to explain the care plan, follow-ups, my questions about supplements. He recommended holistic options like specific exercises for recovery and anti-inflammatory diets. In my experience, his approach was more comprehensive and care-based than most doctors. I greatly appreciated it!
