Always a good experience, beginning with the front desk. Erin Martin and Dr. Titelman are caring, knowledgeable, and take time for questions. I would recommend them as first choice for help with shoulders.

Dr. Titleman is very experienced and one of the best elbow surgeon I have met. He was highly recommended by one of his competitors and that is why I went to him. Dr. Titleman and his team has very efficient process in taking care of their patients. I have not seen many offices operate with so much precision and accuracy on taking care of their patients in each and every step of way to and after surgery. I am very happy with the outpatient surgery center as well. I had multiple staff including Dr. Titleman check on me at home by calling. He has healing bedside manners and he puts you at ease by explaining everything in detail by drawing and with statistics. Thank you Dr. Titleman and team.

Dr Titleman and his staff are wonderful. I saw him three years ago for a rotator cuff surgery and was very pleased with the outcome. I am now going to him for the other Shoulder and trying to not have surgery and trying other options. However, if surgery is what is needed, Dr Titleman will be the one that will handle my surgery. I feel very confident in him. Martha Bullock
