Patient Experience Reviews
Dr Cupp was fantastic. I would highly recommend his to anyone who needs an orthopedic consult
All staff and Dr were very pleasant
Dr Cupp is very professional and knowledgeable. He Is friendly and pleasant with patients.
Doctor was very thorogh
Dr.Cupp and his staff were extraordinarily attentive to my hip issue, explained what the issue was and recommended appropriate treatment and PT. Excellent physical in his field. I have already recommended him to others!
Good overall
I have been seeing Dr. Cupp for several years for steroid injections to ease the pain in my right shoulder. In my recent visit after some successful PT, Dr. Cupp gave me an injection near my bicep tendon, and within a few hours I was in excruciating pain. I couldn't move my arm and could not sleep, and left a message with his office at 4:40 am to let him know. I heard from his office first thing in the morning, as instructed by Dr. Cupp, and he himself contacted me later in the day when he was free. He advised me to go to the ER if the pain did not subside in the near future. Within 36 hours, the pain was completely gone and the shot seems to have worked wonders. I took a trip to Italy shortly thereafter and did not experience the slightest bit of pain in my right shoulder despite carrying luggage and other items. I will discuss what took place with the injection the next time I see Dr Cupp, but was really heartened by the concern shown by his office and the doctor himself.
Out of 5 previous Dr's Dr Cupp was the only one who heard what I had to say regarding the origin of the problem
Dr. Cupp has a warm personality and actually made me smile after one of his comments. He showed a bit of humor that I appreciated. He also made me feel comfortable about opening up to him about my concerns.
My experience with Dr. Cupp and his team was phenomenal and I was amazed at how efficiently care was organized and how caring they were during the process. Certainly very different than I have experienced previously with orthopedics at another institution. I was also very pleased to see how Dr. Cupp Interacted with the resident In a very thoughtful and kind way.
My experience was good
I went to see Dr. Cupp because I needed advice. I trust him completely and value his opinion. He and everyone in his office are friendly, efficient, and professional. When you go there, it is as if you are seeing friends.

Dr Cupp and his whole staff are excellent!Thank u! ***
Explained so much and answered questions. So glad I had this appointment
Dr. Cupp was the first orthopedic physician who physically examined the area in which I am suffering pain; because of that, his diagnosis was more accurate than simply looking at the X-ray and determining that since I am old, it must be arthritis.
Dr. Cupp makes me feel very comfortable on every visit. Xrays were ordered and he explained them as he talked with me. Takes very good care as I'm receiving the injections.
Very thorough and knowledgeable
Went very good in a timely manner
Dr. Cupp with vast experience, wealth of knowledge and meticulous exam gave me great confidence in addressing the problem with treatment plan and recommendation.
I was treated with kindness and respect all during my visit from the receptionists, nurse that showed me to the exam room and Dr. Cupp.
