My experience with Dr. Sussman was very positive.

I had the Tenex procedure preformed on my right hip. On my first visit with Dr. Sussman he was very positive, confident and knowledgeable about my diagnosis. He told me exactly what was going to happen during the procedure and he was correct. It was certainly a much better alternative to surgery. I had minimal pain after the procedure and after two months later I am 80% better. I would highly recommend checking out this procedure instead of surgery.

tenex surgery was succesful, such improvement in use of foot

tenex has given me mobility in my fused ankle that I haven't had in 27 years. The stability of walking on declines has improved my ability to enjoy the out doors and to enjoy every day life without pain.

Dr. Sussman is TOP NOTCH!

Dr. Sussman is really one of the best physicians I’ve ever had care for me. I’ve had chronic pain and several other issues for a long time and I’ve seen countless specialists for these ailments. I saw Dr. Sussman for hip pain and a nasty nerve pinch plaguing my left hip (for 6 months). I tried PT, Acupuncture and massage prior…each helped slightly but didn’t fix the issue. Dr. Sussman diagnosed it as SI joint dysfunction. He started with a cortisone injection which helped a bit and proved that it was the in fact my SI joint. He then did a PRP injection a couple months later. It was a bit stiff and sore for a couple days (as expected) but now it’s doing amazing! Just a week after the injection, I snowboarded in Colorado for 3 days straight and didn’t have any pain or any nerve pinches! Dr. Sussman is incredible. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and wants the best for us. I highly recommend seeing him for any of your own issues!

Painless and easiest recovery

Five years I had the “normal” carpo tunnel surgery on my right hand. The recovery was long and tedious. It took me five years to make the decision to do it again. Thank goodness I found Dr. Sussman. I had the surgery on a Thursday, drove myself home and was back at work banquet serving on Saturday! I never even had to take any pain medication. So glad I found him and had the surgery.

Tremendous results, great outcome!

Referred as a non surgical option for a shoulder injury, and couldn’t be happier. Treatment along with the PT has driven a huge positive result. Significant range of motion improvement, planning on deep sea fishing for the first time in over a year!

Dr. Sussman offered me hope!

I had been suffering with hip pain for many years and was told there was nothing I could do but PT and cortisone, neither of which were working anymore. Dr. Sussman recommended Tenex and said he believed I would be helped by the procedure. I had the procedure done two weeks ago. Minimal pain and recovery. Hoping it worked!

Referred to Dr. Sussman to help with chronic hip pain not resolved through normal course of of thera

Dr. Sussman provided a viable option to help me deal with my hip pain with the ultrasound procedure. I've had cortisone shots, physical therapy and massages, but nothing worked. After approx. 8 weeks after Dr. Sussman's procedure, and using the exercise program provided, I feel that my hip discomfort is about 80% improved.

I saw Dr Sussman for my shoulder calcification. He removed this using tenex. Since my procedure I have had no pain.

It was a total breath of fresh air!

Dr.Sussman went above and beyond to get me additional tests and in touch with other specialists. He kept in touch, called with results and follow up.
He was great and will certainly contact him first in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone.
