I am an over 50 recreational runner. Dr. Figler has been caring for me and treating my running injuries for nearly a decade. Although I only see him every couple of years, he remembers me and my past injuries and is very familiar with imaging that has been done in the treatments that were utilized and if they were effective. I travel from out of state to be under his care because there simply is no provider near me with that level of understanding, expertise or compassion. He keeps me doing the sport I love.

Outstanding care provided by Dr. Figler. He performed several tests that other doctors had to be asked to performe while having a conversation with my daughter. Dr Figler made the environment relaxed and talked Im simple terms to my teenage daughter. He also answered all questions I had and provided new insights and solutions for her condition.

I was so appreciative of the care Dr.Figler and Dr. Kulpin provided. Professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and empathetic.
