“I had a right shoulder problem for a few months, where the symptoms were so bad; I could hardly use my arm. My primary care physician had referred me to Dr. Preslar, who had an MRI done and immediately referred me to Dr. Tupis. We discovered I had a rotator cuff tear. Dr. Tupis performed the surgery and within a few short weeks of treatment and therapy, I am doing great! Dr. Tupis has a great bed side manner and listened to my complaints with an understanding and knowledge of what is wrong and how to proceed with the treatment. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Dr. Tupis or Dr. Preslar at Coastal Orthopedics again. -- Hilda S.”
“I had therapy on the left shoulder in the summer and fall of 2012. I had surgery on the right shoulder in August of 2013. I requested physical therapy right after surgery. Dr. Tupis agreed and got me signed in. The physical therapy of Coastal Orthopedics has helped me twice now. Two skilled and very well trained ladies, Santina & Jennifer, are both very persistent and thorough in their treatment for me. This is a great place for rehab. From my observations, I see caring and professionalism by all the staff. They truly are a great group of folks. Many thanks! -- Bill T.”
“I have had occasion to visit both Dr. Ramsey and Dr. Tupis for treatment of injuries I received from a fall last year. I have been very pleased with the ability to obtain an appointment quickly and have been pleased with the care and concern shown to me and with prompt action to heal my injuries. -- Elizabeth S.”
“I came to see your group back in January 2013 for a problem with my right leg and ankle and my right shoulder. I originally saw Dr. Ramsey and Dr. Taylor. I was then referred to Dr. Tupis and Dr. Wilkins. I would like to thank all of you for the wonderful care that you gave me! I have since had weight loss surgery by Dr. Washington, and I have lost 68 pounds. This has significantly helped my leg and ankle, but I am still going to MUSC as Dr. Tupis has arranged for July. I am also now working out at Planet fitness in Myrtle Beach, and that is also helping the arthritis in my shoulder. I will be coming back to see Dr. Tupis for follow-up on my right shoulder after my leg is corrected. I remember what he said—that there was no need to work on my shoulder until I had two good legs to stand on! I recognize that as him being a very good surgeon; one that puts the patient's most important needs first, and that is how it should be. Once again, thanks for everything! --Kimberly D.”
“I was pleased with Dr. Tupis. It was my first time seeing him and he made me feel just as comfortable as Dr. Elliott did. Of Course Misty King is the best nurse ever. My surgery is tomorrow (2/13/14) and I am convinced it will go well. I have had nothing but good experiences with the doctors I've seen as well as my son. -- Tami D.”
“I want to express my thanks to you all for your wonderful support and encouragement over these past 5 months. I continue to recover from a stress fracture of my left heel. It's been a very long, slow recovery - and I will admit that I am so frustrated!!! I am just ready to be healed. Both Dr. Tupis and Dr. Taylor told me this type injury would be slow to heal, for me to hang in there and that I would be able to run again. And, I will. :) Each year since 2002, I have participated in the MB half or full marathon. I had registered for the February 16 event a few days before my injury occurred. So, next week I will be on the sidelines at the MB marathon cheering on my training/running partner as she crosses the finish line. We are hopeful that I will run alongside her again soon. When given the ok to run again, I promise to take baby steps and not run too far too soon! I'll see you in a few weeks! -- Wanda L.”
“I tore my ACL playing football. Dr. Tupis did my surgery. He and his staff were so vey kind and nice. I love to go to office visits. They really make you feel at home. I would recommend him to anyone that needs surgery. Thank you Dr. Tupis and staff. -- DeTrell D.”
“Dr. Tupis is one outstanding surgeon. He is very compassionate, caring, and with the highest professional standard of excellence. I was increasingly in trouble with daily tasks like cooking and showering. I had to forget even just chipping and putting practice in golf. This surgery has been like a miracle for me. The facilities were impressive with a team of very efficient staff members. This surgeon is beyond thanking. -- Peter J.”
“Very good! -- William L.”
