PA Worden was very nice and explained the treatment plan and epidural procedure well. Front desk staff that was not helpful when I told them I could not sit and needed a place to place complete the intake forms. I found a smallShow more counter in a hallway but it was so akward I fell down. Someone eventually found a small room where I could lie down. There was also a lot of confusion between Alta and Pueblo Radiology re Pueblo’s need to review the spinal X-rays your off ice took. After many phone calls your office agreed to provide my X-rays husband for $10.00 but would not provide the X-rays directly to Pueblo. We brought the CD w/ X-rays to the Pueblo epidural appointment but they said it was too late and couldn’t use them. The epidural went fine but the radiologist only injected one area— not two areas as you directed. He relied ONLY on the MRI and refused to view or keep the X-ray CD from your office that we brought with us
Alta Orthopedics rocks! Everyone at Alta Orthopedic, from when you enter the door, get seated in your room, have xrays when needed, to when you leave are professional, considerate, knowledgeable and effcient. Upon arrival folksShow more in the front office always greet you and are ready to get you situated for your appointment. The PA is so incredibley knowledgeable and considerate in answering all my questions. She is very good. I have been using Alta Orhtopedic for treating Osteoarthritis in my knees for 6 years and their quality treatment and knowledgeable expertise enables me to continue my active lifestyle managing my ranch, riding my horses, hiking and running agility with my dog! I am so very grateful to Michelle Meredith, Dr. Proctor and all the Alta Orthopedic Solvang staff! They are the best!

Reviews
Did not sound very professional and gave me little to no advice on how I should treat my wrist after the procedure. He had basically no empathy and the whole appointment felt very rushed. I agreed with another person on how it felt more like an assembly line.
Very good thank you
I'm very pleased with the care, assurances, knowledge of my wrist sprain and arm fracture which Dr. Kupperman gave me. I appreciate his answers to my questions and his recommendations going forward for improving my arm strength.
Lots of thanks to Dr. Kupperman and his staff for fitting me in into their busy schedule. Their help was fast and kind and I am very grateful. Alex
Doesn’t get any better
He is attentive to his patients’ concerns, responds to all the questions with clarity, and is easy to talk to. I received the care l needed and came home feeling positive about my future visits. Thank you!
Stellar
Excellent
This was my first time seeing Dr. Asher Kupperman for a trigger finger (2) problem on my left hand. Dr. Kupperman was very easy to talk to and I was relieved to find out that I wouldn’t need surgery as a pain killer injection and possibly a second follow up injection should solve my trigger finger problem. What a relief!
Love this doctor, the best very easy to talk to I highly recommend
Dr. Asher Kupperman is the best! I love that he’s conservative in his approach to surgery, and is very honest in telling me exactly what to expect.
I have such high regard for your clinic. My experience this time was like all previous experiences, “Awesome.” Great care and sensitivity. David Jeffrey
this group is what you hope for when you have to go through surgery. Everyone was so kind and competent.
Dr Kupperman is the best he truly cares and takes the time to figure out the best solution possible. Extremely positive and outgoing guy. We tried everything possible to fix my broken hand before ending up doing surgery. Best doctor and clinic I have ever been to
You guys seem to be like one big happy family! Ever since my first visit with Dr Proctor in the 90's (before Alta), I've had a strong sense that I was in good hands!! Thanks everyone!
Great experience. The doctor explained things well and was thorough. I would recommend him.
Dr. Asher Kupperman is personable and kind. Wrist surgery was a success and follow-up visits have been helpful.

Perfect
Superb care.... and particularly reaching out by phone personally to check on me... rare quality!!
Me sentí cómoda un placer ir a mis consultas siempre a tiempo y bien atentos
First rate Xray tech. Dr. Kuperman focused. BIG IMPROVEMENT over my experience in 2016 [relates to staff and crowding in waiting area]
My appointment with Dr Kupperman was very successful. He took the time to discuss my symptoms, and understood what the problems were. He then explained the possible treatment options with me. I would highly recommend Dr Kupperman, and look forward to continuing my treatment plan with him.
Professional, personable, answers all questions thoughtfully
Excellent. Courteous, competant service. Every physician obviously on top of their game. Couldn’t be more pleased and assured.
