Professional staff and effective procedure.

I was referred by my PT and Dr. Sussman immediately understood what was wrong and how to fix it. Procedure and follow up care were smooth and seamless.

Everything was excellent from the time I arrived and saw Dr. Sussman

I was very happy to see that Dr. Sussman does not double book appointments. The time he spent with me was very productive. His explanations were excellent! He answered all my questions so that I could understand everything.

Excellent attention

Dr. Sussman took the time to diagnose and start treatment for several chronic injuries I've had. I'm continuing to receive care for them and he was much more aggressive in diagnosing and treating these injuries than other providers I've seen. He actually figured out the cause of a year-long injury I've had and I'm getting a procedure to hopefully address it.

Best Doctor I've ever had

I am a collegiate baseball player and have been subject to many performance limiting, chronic injuries. I have visited more doctors than I'd like to admit and none of them have been helpful in getting me back to playing baseball. That is, until I visited Dr. Sussman. He establishes a very good connection with his patients and actually helps them. He cares about his patients well-being (which is rare for most doctors). His non invasive methods are top notch and I highly recommend you go see him.

A few months post TENEX

After many months of PT and chiropractic care I wuss skeptical as to what could give me relief and return me to an active lifestyle. I met Dr. Sussman and after my initial exam, I was scheduled for a TENEX procedure for hip bursitis. I am now 2 months past the procedure and feeling so much better.

Caring, superbly competent

No one, with an orthopedic soft tissue injury, should go directly to orthopedic without seeing Dr Sussman first. If he cannot help you he will be the first one to refer you to the proper specialist. He cares for his patients first and foremost

I had a great experience with Dr Sussman.

Dr Sussman made me feel at ease from beginning to the end of my appointment. I’m very hopeful that this treatment will relieve me of the pain I have been experiencing for several months. He clearly explained the diagnosis and treatment to me. Entire office was friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

Dr. Sussman is always exceptional with his care!

Dr. Sussman was very thorough and is the King of the ultrasound and Tenex. I have had several procedures by him that have saved me from more invasive surgeries. All well done. He is always in the know about current research and alternatives. Highly recommended by me and my husband.

Truly one-of-a-kind. Brilliant! Amazing! Kind!

Dr. Sussman was able to diagnose an issue I have had for over 15 years that no doctor was able to identify or treat correctly. He saved my life in many ways! I honestly believe he is one of the most sincere and truly caring doctors/people I know and I will forever be grateful for his support and help! He is genius in what he does!

Couldn’t be happier

I received prp for a split rotator cuff tendon as well as to my left si ligaments which I had sprained multiple times and had been really bothering me for the past 2.5 years. I went to him thinking I had bicep tendinitis but he ordered an mri which showed a plait supraspinatus tendon. He then recommended prp and agreed to do to my left si ligaments at the same time. I had been dealing with the si joint dysfunction for about 2 years at the time and had made some progress with PT and getting my pelvis aligned properly but it would still go out on me with almost any real activity.
He explained everything extremely thoroughly and in an understandable way and everything he said lined up with the research I had done and I can say now, all played out as he said.
Today is exactly 8 weeks out and I started lifting again on 4 days ago and the shoulder held up great. Day to day back pain is almost nonexistent too (as long as I keep up with my stretches). Couldn’t be happier with the results.
