Patient Testimonials
LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM AND COURTESY
Dr. Paul Kupcha performed my Achilles Tendon surgery in August of 2013. The surgery was a success. As I’m still in therapy, I also have follow up appointments with Dr. Kupcha and his PA. The level of professionalism and courtesy has been outstanding to say the least! Dr. Kupcha for starters has excellent bedside manner along with his staff. Each time I’ve gone for my follow up, Dr. Kupcha has provided outstanding service, given great advice and also asks how my family is doing, which is rare for some physicians. You can’t put a price on that level of service. Additionally, I don’t want to leave out his receptionists as they too have been welcoming during each visit. I pray I don’t have another injury requiring an Orthopedic Surgeon, but if I do, Dr. Kupcha and team will be my choice.
INFORMATIVE AND POSITIVE
After fracturing my ankle in Florida on November 8th and flying home, Dr. Kupcha accommodated me and saw me on the same day of my arrival from Florida. His prognosis was very detailed and accurate. He advised me that of my options, surgery vs. allowing it to heal on its own, pointing out that it would take the same amount of time to heal. I selected natural healing. Follow up visits have been very informative and positive. I hope I never get hurt again, but if I do, I will go back to Dr. Kupcha without hesitation.
Recent Appointment with Dr. Kupcha
My first appointment with Dr. Kupcha went extremely well. I did not feel that I was just a number. Dr. Kupcha spent time with me explaining the problem with my right foot. He is not one to jump in and say I need surgery right away. He is going a different approach with a walking brace that will enable me to walk with less pain and hopefully I will not need surgery. I can’t say enough about the office staff how professional they were and most helpful. I was also most appreciative of how soon I was able to see the doctor since I had not been a patient before. I would highly recommend DOS to anyone that was in need of an orthopedic.
