He diagnosed and repaired my double hernia. Was the man, no issues whatsoever. Good sense of humor, and very personable. If anyone is having hernia surgery, I would recommend Newton Wellesley, and definitely Dr. vonRyll Gryska.
“Highly Recommend – Both my husband and myself have gone to him for surgical procedures and think he is great. He is very intelligent, an excellent diagnostician and has a great bedside manner and sense of humor.”
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Gryska. He understood the unique situation we were all in. He took the time to literally draw and clearly explain the procedure he was recommending.
