I am seeing Dr. Wickman again. When I first saw her she was excellent in recommending Dr. Kenly for pain management. Now my back is at a different level and I know she will assist me with the present issues. Immediately I had X-Rays; her P.A. assessed me, and I am have an MRI. So, immediate treatment plan. Her P.A., Julia Frohling, PA-C is very good and a good listener. She is proceeding with a Bursitis injection. Julia is also kind and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Wickman and her staff.

Reverse Shoulder replacement. Not exactly a fun procedure. My physical therapist was impressed with my recovery, especially how soon I was able to raise my arm. He definitely wanted Dr Kupperman's name.

Dr. Nathani was thorough and compassionate which is a total opposite of the previous doctor I talked to. I really feeling like he will be my advocate and make sure I get what I need. I would definitely recommend him.
