I was impressed with Dr. Tupis and his entire staff. I found him to be a very caring doctor and excellent conversationalist. His nurse was one of the kindest people I have ever met. I had a knee replacement that went better than I had expected and recovery was very quick. I never took a pain pill after leaving the hospital. Not to say there was not discomfort, but not serious enough for oxycodone and the like. Seven years earlier I had my first knee replacement with another medical group and had quite a bit of discomfort. This forced me to look at Coastal Orthopedics rather than return to the first medical group. It seems that everyone there has a caring spirit. The receptionists, the X-ray technicians and even the ones that handle the billing are pleasant and respective. I would not hesitate to recommend Coastal Orthopedics especially for the kindness, caring and professionalism.
