Reviews
Great bedside manor, great diagnostician, great instant relief because he could.
Very polite Efficient doctor.I had great experience to be his patient.
Quick to the point
Good
I was very pleased to get a rather early surgery date. I thought I would have to wait for at least a month. Dr. Kupperman did a great job. I know because there was very little pain and almost no bleeding after the anesthetic wore off. Also, post-surgery swelling was very minimal. He mentioned that my swelling was less than expected, that my recuperation would be pretty quick. I am in my 70's and was glad to hear that. Nice guy, too.
Outstanding doctor, surgeon & friendly, human being. Highly talented & a good listener. Good Staff.

Julia and the staff at Alta are great...I felt listened to, and that my concerns were taken seriously. I would definitely recommend Alta if you need orthopedic care.

It was a brief,but productive
Good, especially PA Victoria Lindsay is very helpful and caring.
Dr. Kupperman gives me sound advice. He has multiple choices regarding treatment for joint pain. He gives me options, including surgery, as a last resort. There are many treatments that can help with pain as well as healing. He helps me make an informed decision. He also is. Really nice guy, and gives you all the time you need to decide on a procedure if necessary.
Nice doctor
PA Julia Frohling was wonderful. Clear, efficient, kind and extremely intelligent. I appreciate how professional she is and very highly recommend her to anyone with spine needs.

Victoria is awesome she really listens gives you great feedback and if you can't make it to a simple test x-ray MRI etc she's willing to do over the phone appointments which is great I highly recommend Victoria!!
I was seen immediately after an issue arose during PT. The physical therapist was very concerned and notified the physician office. Great communication from both offices.
Great staff and dr Eli kupperman is fantastic
