A couple of years ago, I had a complete shoulder replacement. After being referred to Dr. Wupperman…read moreI started the process of seeing what my options were. I saw his PA, Jonathan Redwing. for several visits and this young man absolutely knows his business. I only saw Dr. Wupperman as I was getting closer to having surgery so he could evaluate what I would need as I have a small frame. Surgery was scheduled, and I had the replacement. I did several weeks of physical therapy and am happy to report, my recovery is almost 100%. I could not have asked for the results to be any better. I also saw him several years ago when I fractured my leg. When it appeared that my leg was not healing, he did not hesitate to send me to someone else to see if something was being overlooked. If you are faced with having surgery, I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Wupperman and his staff. I am sorry for the negative reviews, but they were made several years ago. After my surgery, I had a prescription for pain medication. I only took it for a few days before I started weening myself off as I had had a bad experience with taking it which ultimately required surgery. That stuff can do bad things to you if you are not careful.

I would not let this so-called doctor operate on my dog. He talks up his surgeries and makes you…read more think he is the best of the best. He tells you how bad off you are, which you already know, but refuses you pain meds even if your surgery is weeks away, and forget about "service after the sale." No next day phone call to see how you are doing and even though he knows it will take several weeks for you to mend, you have to practically beg for pain medication then and he will only write you an RX for #30. He is so paranoid about giving out pain meds, you are left to suffer.

My goal in sports medicine is to return athletes to their current (or higher) level of function as soon as posible.

Their pharmaceutical sales rep lady (Brittany) said I was an ideal candidate and that I would be up in no time back to regular activities after the procedure. This could be nothing further from the truth. I had Discseel on 4 levels and exosomes on 2 levels at their Dallas facility by one of Pauza's "instructors", Dr. Toby. I was in extreme pain immediately after the procedure and could barely move and continued to be in pain long after. No Dr checked on me after. They also only give you a few days of pain meds after the procedure, but it took them 5 days after a refill request to get it refilled (they also don't ask for any identifying info during this process). Despite them advertising to be a concierge-level service, I only received one follow-up post-op and only after I escalated the issue. During the following months, I repeatedly asked to speak to a doctor or supervisor and to get a MRI referral up until January because of the pain I was dealing with (and there was also pain in new areas). These requests were ignored. Because of this I posted a YouTube video review about my experiences with Pauza's staff and expressing my frustrations and continued pain. Within 2 days of posting it, Dr Pauza himself contacted me. He refused to address any of his staff's issues but did offer an additional exosome treatment. In February 2026, I had a single injection of exosomes. Just a few hours after the procedure, Pauza calls me accusing me of having a video online slandering him and proceeded to insinuate I was an opiate addict (I recorded this and posted it on YouTube). After midnight the same day, Pauza texts me repeating the opiate addiction accusation, and then proceeded to diagnose me with abnormal behaviors, such as manipulative behavior, passive-aggressive behavior, and others. Not only was this completely unprofessional (I personally believe it to be unethical too), but my latest MRI in April reveals (based on my own observations) little to no change. The changes seem to indicate that my L5-S1 has shrunk more. The 5 bulges are still there and the same size. No discs have regained any height. For me personally, this was a horrific and costly experience. I would never let Pauza put his hands on me again.
