fourteen days ago I had carpal tunnel surgery with Dr. Teplitz. After the surgery I basically had NO pain whatsoever. On the 12th day my stitches came out and I had no discomfort or immobility with my hand. Who goes through surgery with such ease? I need the same surgery on my left hand and can’t wait to get it done so I can finally have no more pain in either hand. Dr. Teplitz is extraordinary in my book!

Dr. Teplitz has performed 6 trigger finger release surgeries and carpal tunnel surgeries on both wrists and never have I had any issues with the outcomes. When my 89 y.o. mother took a nasty fall and broke both her wrists, guess who I took her to? Dr.Teplitz showed warmth and compassion towards her and today, at 91, she’s almost as good as when she got hurt. Thank you for all you’ve done for me and my family, Dr. Teplitz!

Sarcastic,flippant, and in a rush. He should spend a day with Dr. Grossman and learn how to speak to patients. Never asked if I was in any pain less than 24 hours after a fracture!

I wish all my Dr., could be like Dr. Teplitz, he is caring and honest , I have horrible rheumatoid and osteoarthritis in my hands and wrists , Dr Teplitz did a thumb fusion on both hands a year ap part. Now I have a mass on my wrist , simple arthritis, but a wrist fusion isn't a easy operation, so I think I'll wait. Thank You Dr. Glenn Teplitz for your honesty and personality!!!

strike one-first visit okay after long wait, strike 2-second( 1 minute) visit after long wait told me he wasn't going to do anything because he wanted me to have ultrasound(could have told me first visit) third visit - your out!!!after I went for ultrasound waited for almost 2hrs in filthy office. First hour in waiting room second hour in little treatment room. I left -good riddance. Waiting room is shameful. seats are grimy square cube ottomans- with wall as back. I wonder how many patients have fell off.

Dr Teplita performed surgery on both my wrists for carpal tunnel syndrome. I had suffered for 20 years with symptons of numbness, pain & tingling, interfering with my sleep & daily activities. Surgeries were done a few months apart.It was quick & painless. Recovery was speedy & its been 6 years! I'm sympton free and it was the best decision I ever made! I only wish I had done it sooner. PS`Dr Teplitz is a great guy!

DR. TEPLITZ A FEW YEARS AGO CURED A RARE CONDITION OF MINE. MY HAND WOULD GO INTO SPASMS AND LOCK UP ON BOTH HANDS AND HE WENT IN EXPLORATORY TO DO A NERVE RELEASE(PRONATOR) AND HE COMPLETELY GOT RID OF MY CONDITION. I HAVE ALSO GONE TO HIM AFTER THAT FOR TENNIS ELBOW AND WAS GIVEN CORTOSONE SHOTS TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEMS. HE IS SUCH A GOOD DOCTOR AND A VERY NICE GUY TO DEAL WITH AS WELL. I SWEAR BY HIM. THANK YOU,
