I recently had a trigger finger released by Dr. Sussman. I've had this done several times the conventional way, in the operating room by another provider. There was pain, swelling and recovery involved. After Dr. Sussman released my trigger finger, with what looked like a needle, I walked out with a bandaid on my finger an…

Trigger Finger Release thats so much easier then conventional surgery

I recently had a trigger finger released by Dr. Sussman. I've had this done several times the conventional way, in the operating room by another provider. There was pain, swelling and recovery involved. After Dr. Sussman released my trigger finger, with what looked like a needle, I walked out with a bandaid on my finger and just a soreness and got right back to using my hand. Thanks Dr. Sussman.

Back Again and pleased

Dr Sussman performed PRP on my right elbow several years ago and it I have had zero pain since. Same issue in my left elbow and back again to get PRP on that elbow. 100% trust in his skills and practice.

Dr. Sussman is an excellent care provider.

I arrived to be treated by Dr. Sussman after a myriad of knee surgeries major and minor.
I was referred to Dr. Sussman by my current knee surgeon who performed my knee replacement revision surgery.
I am also very pleased with my current knee surgeon.
Dr. Sussman has been very patient and has listened to all of my concerns during every office visit. Dr. Sussman has always provided clear explanations of what his findings were during the multiple ultra sound examinations of the lateral, and posterior sides of my knee that have been extremely problematic since my initial knee replacement surgery 2.5 yrs ago.
Dr. Sussman has provided me pain relief and improved my knee function all of which are a direct result of the multiple Tenex procedures he has performed to address the multiple issues I am dealing with currently. Dr. Sussman has greatly improved my quality of life and restored my hope of someday returning to my active lifestyle pain free.
