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.
