Couldn’t be happier. I had severe pain in my thumb and was able to make an appointment within a few days. Saw Laura who took a few X-rays and gave me a cortisone injection which hit the spot. She is always kind, caring and very good at her job. Thanks again Laura for helping me in my time of need.

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.

Dr. Christopher Birch is lovely. He's quick and thorough but, to the point. I appreciate that and know I'm getting quality care. Most importantly he listens. Both of my knees have been replaced by Doc. Birch and I'm so glad they are done and he did them.

Victoria is thorough and kind. She answers questions and explains things so you can understand your medical issues. She works closely with the physician in follow-up to a recent procedure that I had.

My complete knee replacement was a most pleasant experience! Dr. Birch was great- very personable but also very professional . He patiently explained everything and answered all my questions. The surgery went very smoothly, very little pain and the recovery was amazingly swift. Now, about 4 months after the surgery, I basically forget I had it! No pain whatsoever when I walk: my goal for the whole experience. Thank you, Dr. Birch!

Dr. Kupperman was Friendly and knowledgeable I knew exactly what to do to help my shoulder pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Kupperman. He also performed a successful hip surgery on my Husband With great results. In addition, upon arriving was greeted by an extremely friendly x-ray technician, Maryanne and Dr.Kupperman’s front desk person, Gavin. This all helps when you’re not feeling your best.

Dr. Birch listens carefully, answers questions thoroughly and helpfully, and makes excellent recommendations. My right knee replacement from him in 2022 functions so well that most of the time I forget I had a replacement. Knee function is comparable to what it was around 2002.

Doctor Birch Is without a doubt, the most professional, kind, and understanding Doctor I have ever dealt with. He explains everything carefully before proceeding with any procedure. He answers all questions and doesn’t rush you as most doctors do. I had knee injections done by several other doctors and both of them hurt me. I felt nothing with Dr. Birch, he numbed the area perfectly and explained what he was doing before he started. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Compassionate & informative during visits. Took time to clearly explain my questions. My back operation was a success. She convinced me to only do thoracic surgery, rather than the whole spine, & see how that affected my lower back before doing any other surgery. I highly recommend her.

Excellent provider. Very friendly staff. I saw Victoria today. She’s very thorough, thoughtful and gets you in and out quickly. I’m very satisfied with Dr Kenly and the staff at his practice.

Dr. Kenly was great...he listened to me and answered all my questions. He had a "no nonsense" approach, but he was also supportive. My only complaint is the wait time.
