Absolute smooth procedure and recovery becoming pain free from tennis elbow.

“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.

“Someone who listens”

Dr. Sussman was the first doctor in 16 months of pain that actually heard me and diagnosed the problem within 5 minutes! I am forever grateful!
