Dr. Huffman is kind,, personable, experienced and a skilled surgeon. My LTSR procedure went smoothly from start to finish, thanks to himself and the entire Rothman Team. I’m continuing to follow-up with him post op and recovery.

I fractured my “proximal humerus” (shoulder). I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they save appointments for people who have been to the emergency room. The office staff is friendly and there is no waiting. They are quick to return calls. Dr Huffman and his PA/nurses are exceptional. The care I have received is first rate. Thank you Dr Huffman and staff! ??

I encourage anyone facing shoulder joint replacement to make certain you exore options with Dr. Huffman. I met with three surgeons before the surgery. I discarded two. Dr. Huffman takes the time to understand, and give consideration to the specific options for a patients specific shoulder damage. Then uses his training and expertise to customize his solution to the patients need. Dr. Huffman becomes the patients advocate. I lost all trepidation, concern, and anxiety and was supremely confident going into my surgery. I am not disappointed.

Dr Huffman is the best doctor, truly a rare find. He repaired a torn rotator cuff and frayed bicep tendon. The pain management was exceptional! I slept every night and was never uncomfortable. He was always available for questions and extremely kind and patient. Would recommend Dr. Huffman to everyone!

Buyer Beware. Get a second opinion. He's a nice man, so I trusted him. He recommended the wrong surgery, there was a failed outcome, and I'm left with disability.

Dr. Huffman found a cyst in my elbow that countless other doctors never saw! I’m without pain in my left elbow for the first time in 10 years! I adore him!!
