Exceptional Care from Start to Finish

"I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care I received from Dr. Jonathan B. Ticker, the entire surgical team, and the office medical staff who work closely with him — Anne Marie Lamneck, PA, Laura Brady, and Kaylan Dimodugno. From my very first consultation through my post-operative recovery, the entire experience was seamless, reassuring, and made even better by having the same team consistently involved in my care.

A special shout-out to Denise Katsaros, his surgical coordinator. She was professional, patient, and supportive while handling all my questions and concerns.

The office team was consistently professional, friendly, and efficient. Scheduling was easy, wait times were minimal, and they were always helpful when answering my questions about appointments and the overall process. I felt valued and well-informed every step of the way — never like a number.

Dr. Ticker is an exceptionally talented, skilled, and compassionate surgeon. He explained my condition and the surgical procedure in clear, understandable terms, ensuring I fully understood my options and the recovery process. His expertise and attentive bedside manner instilled a strong sense of calm and trust, which meant a great deal to me going into major surgery.

The surgical team — Dr. Flaum, Anne Marie Lamneck, PA, and the nurses — were also fantastic. Their coordination and professionalism in the operating room and during recovery made me feel safe and comfortable. The level of excellence in their care and attention to detail was truly top-notch.

Thanks to this wonderful team, my recovery has been smooth. I am no longer feeling the pre-surgical pain — only normal post-surgical discomfort, which is expected — and I am already feeling so much better.

I highly recommend Dr. Ticker and the entire staff to anyone in need of exceptional surgical care. He is not only a highly skilled surgeon but also an expert, scholar, and author. The whole team truly puts patients first and works together with dedication and compassion. Having worked in the medical field myself, I can confidently say I will recommend him to everyone.

Thank you all for everything you do!"

The Quality of Care -- Dr. Ticker

In July 2023, Dr. Ticker performed arthroscopic surgery to correct a full tear of my supraspinatus tendon (as well as, among other issues, removal of a bone spur on my acromion, performing a biceps tenodesis) in my left shoulder.

I had heard and read about the very challenging and difficult experiences of others who had experienced similar trauma and surgery. I was braced for the worst, which apparently would be during the first 2 weeks post-op. But I had no idea how fortunate I was to be in the care of the best hands possible for the surgery. The first 1-2 days post-op I was absolutely pain free due to a nerve block that was administered during surgery. After this wore off, I experienced only minimal discomfort over the next 2 weeks. I was able to rest and sleep on a recliner, my soreness easily managed by the prescribed meds. At 2 weeks post-op I started PT. I took my meds throughout but only as needed, and I ended up taking less than the prescribed amounts after the first week. I wasn't being a hero or toughing it out -- I just didn't need them. I was back to full range of motion and full activity since the 5th month post-op.

I am fully convinced that my amazing experience -- from the low level of discomfort to the speed of my recovery -- had everything to do with Dr. Ticker's significant experience, amazing talent, and care-giving approach. I am a beneficiary of his many years of dedication and hard work to his calling. He is also funny and approachable, with a great bedside manner, but he is also direct and serious about his work and about what I needed to do (and not do) to increase my chances for a full recovery. I could not recommend him more highly. Thank you, Dr. Ticker!
