Dr. Rampertab is a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. He has been in private practice for over 13 years. He has been performing Cryosurgery since 2004.  He is the leading Nerve CryoSurgeon in Arizona. Dr. Rampertab has performed over 1700 cryo procedures.  Although he did not invent the procedure, Dr. Rampertab is considered one of the foremost expert after perfecting and modifying the technique. He lectures extensively on the theory and protocol of Cryoanalgesia and its benefits. He is one of the leading surgical trainers for the procedure having taught many of the physicians that are now trained to perform Cryosurgery.  Dr. Rampertab has perfected the UltraCryo technique. It is a technique used for precisely locating the nerve branches to be affected.  At azcryo, Dr. Rampertab performs 100% of his cryo procedures using the UltraCryo technique. There is no guesswork involved regarding whether the Cryoprobe was placed directly on the nerve branch or not.
