Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My consult with Dr. Kuppusamy was one of the best I have ever had.

The Dr. Listened and watched all my actions to get a better idea of what was needed. He did not force his opinion of my problem on me.

Life-changing reconstructive surgery!!
I recently had reconstructive thoracic surgery with Dr. Kuppusamy and it has been life-changing!Other providers dismissed my symptoms. But upon seeing my CT, Dr. Kuppusamy expertly described the biomechanical issues with my ribcage, and he developed a personalized surgical plan to address my specific structural issues.Dr. Kuppusamy is extremely thorough and detail-oriented. In fact, during the surgery, he noticed related issues that had been too small to see on imaging, and he took the time and effort to fix those as well — even though they were on a different body part (the lung)!Dr. Kuppusamy treats patients holistically, considering them as people to be helped and not reducing them to medical diagnoses or business transactions. He personally advocated for my insurance to cover the surgery until they approved it.I will never forget the feeling of waking up in recovery and being able to breathe for the first time in memory. Thank you, Dr. Kuppusamy!!

Meeting Dr. Kuppusamy has been a transformative experience, and I'm deeply thankful for his guidance. After decades of being misunderstood, his trust in me has been a breath of fresh air. His dedication to my recovery has given me hope. Although I appreciate his thorough approach, I'm now ready to break free from the limitations that have held me back for so long. The thought of embracing a life filled with purpose and activity is electrifying, and I'm eager to make the most of this new beginning. I realize he has lots of time and is able to fully engage in life and work. I still feel stifled by my health constraints. My hope is we can expedite the timeframe so I can begin living a productive life.

As always, Dr Kuppusamy was very attentive to my needs and concerns. He spent extra time with us during the visit reviewing my complex situation and potential treatment options for the future. Dr Kuppusamy always treats us with a great deal of respect. I am particularly thankful that he welcomes input from my spouse as well as from me during our visits. We are very thankful for his care.

Dr Kuppusamy is very generous with his time and attention, even when his clinic is extremely busy. I greatly appreciate the respect that he shows to my husband and the way he includes us both when explaining test results and reviewing options for treatment. I am so thankful for his great care.

Amazing surgeon
Dr. Kuppusamy is an amazing and talented surgeon. He is very thorough, spends a lot of time explaining all aspects of surgery. He takes the time to listen and answer questions. He goes above and beyond for his patients. As a nurse and someone who has worked alongside many doctors, I am beyond grateful for Dr. Kuppusamy and his ability to get my surgery done in a timely manor and take such great care of me!
