Eric S. Stuffmann, MD

As a doctor myself, I can be picky with the doctors providing my care. Especially when it comes to possible career altering procedures. I could not have found a better surgeon, or individual, than Dr. Stuffmann. As others have noted, he listens to you, and his training and ethics have taught him to never lose sight of the big picture. This wonderful trait may cause him to run behind, as it does me. But the wait is well worth it!

In medicine we can do everything right and still have a bad outcome, but diagnostic and hand skills can tilt this in your favor. Dr. Stuffmann possesses both of these qualities.

In my case I had just the opposite result and feel it is the result of Dr Stuffmann’s skill and knowledge. He performed a nerve moving procedure on the ulnar nerve in my right elbow to eliminate pain and numbness in my hand; critical to my profession. I sit here one day post-op with minimal discomfort (OTC Ibuprofen handles it nicely), and 90% of my numb hand is back to normal. Even though he predicted a two week recovery, I’m headed to my office on Monday, three days post-op.

Thank you Dr. Stuffmann

I have been dealing with elbow and forearm problems for the past 9 years and in that time have gone through traditional PT, e-stem, a-stem, acupuncture, chiro, massage therapy including active release and cross frictional, cold laser therapy as well as 3 different Orthopedic Specialists 2 of which did cortisone injections into my elbows. Everything seemed to give some relief but not complete relief and never lasting.

Then I went to see Dr. Stuffmann late May for a single visit he spent more time than the prior 3, each of whom I saw multiple times, combined. Dr. Stuffmann explained there was no silver bullet and laid out my options succinctly. I decided to try a PRP injection in my outside right elbow where the pain was most intense and to be honest it was a WHOLE lot worse for about a week.

That said Dr. Stuffmann warned me it would likely take a month before it got any better and to not ice or take ibuprofen because inflammation is actually good. As counter intuitive as that sounded I listened and here we are 2 months later and I can now do daily things like brush my teeth and scratch my right ear without pain. The pain on the outside of my elbow is nearly gone and now I plan to go back and get another injection on the inside of my elbow. THANK YOU!!
