I was able to get treatment for a snapping "trigger finger" at very short notice; less than two days. Thank you Dr. Kupperman!
Love, Dr. Asher Kupperman very knowledgeable and kind, cares for his patients. Been to many doctors for my swelled finger and after almost a year like this Dr. Kupperman took care of it in two visits.
Dr. Kupperman is very attentive and compassionate.
This is a very busy office so expect to wait. When you finally get in, it's a very helpful and well trained staff. Dr. Asher Kupperman is very attentive and knows hands.
Very professional and he listens to the patient . Great job! Thank you.
Dr Asher Kupperman has treated my arthritis for several years. Three years ago he researched and found a better solution; I used to need annual injections, but the last two rounds have lasted 16 and 20 months. He is smart, personable and concerned about me first. You couldn’t do better than trusting your orthopedic health to him.
Dr. Kupperman was thorough, explained what was causing my pain & what to do about it in straight forward terminology. He has a reassuring manner AND a sense of humor!
Dr Kupperman is great. He took the time to explain my treatment options and made sure all my questions were answered before I left.
Although I believe the doctor was knowledgeable, I felt very rushed when I finally got to see him. I spent a total of about 5 minutes with him.
My experience there was very professional. All my questions were address.
Comfortable, confident with the recommendation of treatment
Excellent from booking to meeting the doctor. Caring and helpful.
Dr Kupperman is skilled and knowledgeable, and I always feel more optimistic after our appointments.
Dr. Kupperman is a very skillful surgeon, and he has my full respect. He operated on me and I believe he did a very good job. Unfortunately, my hand suffered a bad infection that has been costly in terms of pain and time. I don't hold him responsible but I mention this so you can consider relaunching a very strong effort to keep the facilities germ free. Thank you
Wonderful experience….everything well organized…doctor is especially attentive to my needs either my hand issue … thank you so much
The doctor was awesome, the front desk gentleman was amazing.
