“Great listener and someone who cares”

I don't know about everyone else, but I am continually let down by health care these days. I won't ramble on about my experiences here but I will say that Dr. Sussman is FANTASTIC. Why? First, he is a problem solver. He doesn't just have one 'fix' but listens well before and after procedures, works with you to find solutions, and cares about your welfare. Sadly, this is very rare these days of transactional health care. Dr. Sussman has successfully treated me for a torn rotator cuff and a hip issue. We are now working on a new part: my thumbs. I always feel well listened to and always have all the time I need. He's great at explaining things. I highly recommend him. You won't be disappointed.

“I cannot thank Dr. Sussman enough for his help.”

I was scheduled for shoulder surgery on July 1st. That would have had a 9-month recovery.
I met with Dr. Sussman at the request of my PT a week before for a second opinion.
Dr. Sussman put me through a thorough physical evaluation, reviewed my MRI, then performed an Ultrasound in which he explained his findings in detail resulting in Dr. Sussman advising me to postpone the surgery allowing my body the time to continue recovering while I continue PT.
I am thrilled to say thank you very much Dr. Sussman for your guidance and help as I am doing great with no surgery.
Thank you

“My experience with Dr.Sussman has been very positive.”

Dr. Sussman has always taken the time to answer any questions I might have regarding my treatments. He is more than willing to discuss options for future procedures and is very clear in explaining what each option entails.
I also appreciate the follow-up appointments after a procedure is completed. Dr. Sussman always makes a point of encouraging me to call him with any concerns I might have.

“Exceptional experience”

From my first consult for tennis elbow to my post-procedure visit for Tenex, Dr. Sussman and his team have been thorough, clear, and caring. I always felt he was interested in my opinion and was genuinely invested in answering my questions. I also appreciated his gradual approach to treatment. He started off giving me a script for PT, and when that did not remedy the issue, he gave me several options for interventions. Dr. Sussman wants positive outcomes in the least invasive way possible, and I'm grateful for his care.

“Professional and clear and concise”

Dr. Sussman did not keep me waiting. He explained the pros and cons of both a second cortisone shot and my first gel shot.
