All's well
Dr. Cupp is always concerned about how I'm doing and feeling. I recommend him to any of my friends who need that type of treatment .

Excellent experience. No complaints.
Good very good
Dr. Cupp exceeded my expectations as a provider. I feel that he has my best interests in mind and not just to generate revenue like other providers. He listened to my concerns and discussed all possible options. Accepting getting older and not in the same health as just a few years ago is tough. It can take a huge emotional toll on people, especially men. I wanted to explore all non-invasive alternatives even the less popular ones, and Dr. Cupp discussed them all in great detail with me. He provided not only the pro's and con's, but what I felt was his personal opinion. I am extremely happy with the care Dr. Cupp has provided and highly recommend him to anyone looking for alternatives to surgery. Thank you sir..
Dr. Cupp always makes my visits a pleasant experience.
As I have said in previous surveys, Dr. Cupp has my complete confidence. He charted a course for treatment of my hip osteoarthritis so that I may continue my volunteer work. We have stayed on course with excellent results. Dr. Cupp has been an excellent provider and would strongly recommend him to anyone with orthopedic issues.
Dr. Cupp is amazing!
I really like this Doctor, he is very knowledgeable and took the time to talk to me and explained everything.
