I have seen Dr. Olionayu 3-4 times this past year. I have found her very knowledgeable,…read moreapproachable, and concerned about what is best for me. She took the time to explain what was going on with my eye. I was at a walk-in and need to be seen by an Ophthalmologist ASAP. It was a Friday afternoon, about 3 PM. The office was great, she saw me immediately and began tx. Does not get much better than that. The office is very busy at all times, and there is a process if you need a regular exam, but that's the way of busy practices. Anyone who sees Dr O will be getting excellent care.

Hello all, looks like I am looking for a new eye doctor…read more I had my annual appointment with Middlesex Eye Physicians on Saybrook Rd this morning. I have been going to them every year since I returned to CT after 20+ years in the Air Force and never had an issue. Until today. Now they primary purpose to to collect money from you no matter what, not provide quality optometry services to the Middletown area. Apparently they need to keep your credit card on file now with them. In fact, they won't even see you anymore if you do not consent to that. As I was told by the desk supervisor, this is company policy and there are no exceptions. There was a manager in a higher position there, but they refused to come out and talk to me. So they cancelled my appointment. Many may think that isn't an issue, but I do. They have no need to my card when I see them once a year and have always paid all invoices on time. This is how your information gets stolen. My family has been going to this outfit for literally generations. No more. I will not be blackmailed by them just to be seen by their docs. I won't be using them anymore. I dont promote boycotts but am asking folks to be aware of your personal information and do what you can do to protect it. Don't give it out if you don't need to. I am recommending family and friends to reevaluate your relationship with Middlesex Eye Physicians and decide if you want to be abused by this extreme company policy. I have enjoyed seeing Dr Yap, but your company won't allow that anymore. So, any recommendations for an optometrist would be appreciated. I thank you all in advance and will return to my lurking.

CT Orthopaedics is hands down the best IMO…read more. I've been a patient of Dr. Mark Lorenze's for a little over a year now. He has been helping me with my Dequarvin's which I have in both wrists. The pain is awful at times, and has lead me to having cortisone injections and going to occupational therapy. The thing about Dr. Lorenze that I appreciate the midst is that he NEVER pushes surgery right away. I'm under the age of 40 and tendon release surgery is the last resort. Dr. Lorenze's bedside manner is the absolute best. Always empathetic, compassionate, understanding, and all around professional. Between going to his office in Essex and Madison, both places are well kept, always clean, and welcoming. Not once have I ever experienced anything bad while in the care of Dr. Lorenze. His medical assistants are wonderful as well. I've never felt more comfortable anywhere else. I'm currently in the midst of more occupational therapy sessions - to which I feel are going really well! If for some reason OT does not work out for me in the long run, I will opt for the tendon release surgery. It's a quick procedure and I know I'll be in the greatest of care! Dr. Lorenze's knowledge and expertise show for sure - he is very intelligent. I absolutely refuse to go to Yale New Haven or Hartford Hospital for any kind of treatment for my orthopaedic issues. Special thanks to Dr, Lorenze, who continues to provide the best quality care for me as I continue to navigate the world of Dequarvin's! If it wasn't for him I probably would not be getting treatment for this painful syndrome.

Making my way to the shoreline from Hartford area there was an unnecessary concern about finding…read moremedical care - I can now say Dr. Mark Lorenze and his staff have obliterated any lingering concern. All the things you want in a doctor and his staff are in place. The staff is professional, concerned, efficient, and friendly. I went to see Dr. Lorenze for three very different issues - hands, elbow and knee; understandably he handled each different from a medical but Dr. Lorenze was consistent from a patient perspective: Kind, listened, and explained the issues, providing detail and still elicited questions. He "stepped" the process for each area so there was always an understanding of how we would proceed. IMPORTANT: I went in with a patient point of view I was going to need three different surgeries; Dr. Lorenze took the better approach - he never discussed surgery or short-term injections as a first options, he waited until he had all the information then methodically approached each issue differently. Hands and elbow did not need surgery, was provided information on both and they are no longer an issue. My knee required surgery, the date was set quickly, the surgery center was fantastic, all staff were nice, professional, provided detailed explanations, Dr. Lorenze met with me and answered all questions. Surgery went perfect, everything i experienced was explained before I left for home so i was prepared, follow up visits were reassuring, i was provided surgery photos of before and after, had questions answered, and now its off to rehab at their own rehabilitation office connected to Dr. Lorenze's practice. Class act, professional and skilled.

I have had serious shoulder pain for more than two years, and sought medical attention from Yale…read moreOrthopedics. After cortisone shots and an eventual MRI, I was told that I do not have a tear or anything else that can be fixed with surgery, and given a prescription for physical therapy. I was not happy about this at all - I wanted a quick fix to be pain free and thought (naively) that surgery was the answer. I live close to Spectrum, so based on physical proximity (and the recommendation of a friend) I made an appointment with Corey. Long story short, I am in 95% less pain, sleep all night through again, and have far more range of motion than I did a few months ago. Therapy is as much fun as working hard can be, but we DO laugh (often) and I AM so much better than I was. The facility is clean, well-lit, and the bathroom is clean, too. Corey seem to have all the requisite tools, AND the necessary expertise. He is not just competent and trained in his field, he is so contagiously passionate about health and fitness! I would unequivocally recommend Corey and Spectrum.

I am a skeptical person and I have had annual labs done with my PCP for years. I assure you the information, analysis, and explanation is like nothing you've had with even a great Physician. The level of expertise and knowledge I experienced with Dr. Kempinski was undeniable. I never felt like I was being "sold" she simply presented the data and I knew I was with an expert and the recommendations she made for my protocol were custom for my needs based on my labs and medical history. I am 7 weeks into my protocol and my results are undeniable. I am feeling better than I have in years. I'm excited to see the comparison labs and data. If you're considering please take the first step and review your labs with Dr. Kempinski!

A year ago, I had a decision to make: would I keep my appointment with that Minnesota bastion of…read moremedical diagnostics (you know the one--the name is synonymous with the best medical care available)? Or would I choose the leap of faith that led me to The Kempinski Clinic? After months of investigation, I was exhausted with researching case studies, with reading every book I could find, with feeling certain that I was dying, with being told by neurologists that I was simply (1) fat, and (2) crazy. So in the end, it had come down to this choice: would I submit myself to another round of scans and tests in the interest of finding a definitive label for my illness, after which the doctors would still bombard my system with the same frightening drugs they were already recommending? Or would I be brave enough to open my mind to a different approach, a treatment which involved retraining my brain to compensate for my physical deficits and realigning my nutrition to support health instead of illness? I won't tell you it was an easy decision: I was raised to believe that the MD degree was as close to God as it was possible to get, and that was a mindset hard to overcome. And yes, even though I'd read virtually everything there was to read about it and the efficacy of it was illustrated in those readings time and again, still the concept of neuroplasticity and brain training sounded to me a little bit like hoodoo. But here's the thing: I truly believed I was dying. I could not lift my arms to wash my own hair. The trip to my mailbox was a Herculean task. I was Googling wheelchair ramps and mechanized stair-climbing chairs. I was terrified. And I did not have enough time, money, or energy to seek both treatment options. I had to choose. Obviously, because I am here, because you are reading this, you already know I chose the Kempinski approach. It was a difficult process, and the work was challenging, and it wasn't in any way either cheap or inexpensive (and yes, there is a difference). And it gave me my life back. And I will never be able to adequately express my gratitude for the choice I made and the priceless care I have received since. Fast forward: one year after my initial round of treatment, I was still a new person. I was no longer nutritionally and metabolically bankrupt. I had fully regained my balance and my energy and my health and my intellect. Gone was the nausea, the headache, the crippling feeling of brain fog that, for a person who prided herself on her intelligence, was perhaps the most debilitating symptom of all. I actually laughed one day when I stumbled across my long-ago Google search for an automated staircase chair. Then...something happened. It was random, it was a fluke, it was a simple errant movement that once again triggered the crippling vertigo. I hadn't anticipated it, I didn't see it coming. It just happened. And I panicked. Within a month the neurological symptoms had returned with a vengeance, and once again I was terrified. But here's the important part of this lesson: thanks to the year I had just spent under Dr. K's guidance, I was now stronger than I had been before. I was nutritionally sound. My blood chemistry and gut health was balanced and working in my favor, not against me. And so, when I returned to the clinic expecting the worst, what I got instead was the best: not the start-from-square-one course of treatment I had been expecting, but instead a fine-tuning of my already competent system. Within the week I felt myself again, strong and repaired and ready to take on anything life threw at me. I am not in any way a religious person, and yet I know this one thing for sure: all it takes to make yourself well is knowledge, and willingness, and some pretty hard work, and a leap of faith. Whatever faith you happen to have will work just fine. Just leap.
