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.

An ongoing positive experience

Have Knee problems which Dr. Sussman has been addressing. He is a very experienced doctor with what seems like unlimited solutions to your problems. He has done wonders in coordination with another doctor to address ongoing back problems. I have had so much relief from my back issues and feel very confident with his advise and guidance on my knee situation.

Finally found a doc I trust, who's knowledgable and I think can help me

I knew Dr. Sussman a while back. He was again recommended to me by the Chief of Sports Medicine at Children's Hospital in Boston for ongoing hip and feet issues. You get an appt fairly quickly. Very small wait time for appt. Dr. Sussman on first eval visit assessed both feet issues and my hip. Another Dr supposedly in sports medicine told me my first visit I could choos which foot I wanted evaluated or my hip. Only 1 boby part at a time. WOW! I now have a plan and think I am starting on a road to improve debilitating conditions. "Thank you" Dr. Sussman!!!
