I listened to them greet each patient who arrived with warmth and care; "How are you feeling? Do you need help with the check-in questionnaire?" Each team member we met was cheerful and helpful, and thoughtfully explained what would happen next. Dr. Cohen was warm, and kind. He listened carefully and instantly put my daughter at ease. He explained a but of anatomy, and a straightforward plan. She was relieved and left smiling. I often say that your doctor doesn't need to be nice, but they need to be smart. Dr. Cohen is both nice and very, very smart. I have the same impression of all of the office staff and care team.

The office was clean and nice however, I went to him with a torn meniscus. After looking at the MRI…read morehe immediately suggested surgery. I booked the surgery then had second thoughts about it so I cancelled. I asked if I should wear a knee brace in the mean time. Dr. Haig said "No it's already torn it won't do any good" I went for a second opinion and the second doctor, who looked at the same MRI, gave me a knee brace and prescribed PT for 6 weeks. The PT has been great it has been at least 6 months since the time I was going to have the surgery and my knee is so much better! Perhaps in the future I may need surgery but I feel surgery should have been a last resort not a first! I was very disappointed in this care I got!

My first experience with Dr. Gott was eight years ago. I hurt my shoulder and rather than letting…read moremy finger do the walking, I walked to StarPro Physical therapy and asked them for the name of an orthopedic surgeon. I made my appointment for my shoulder. Most times the wait for an appointment can be excessive, not here. I was seen very quickly. My meeting with Dr. Gott was not as intimidating as I originally thought it would be. He was/is very professional and has a no nonsense approach. I like to joke around as a defense mechanism and well he was more than willing to play along. Fast forward to my current visit. I went to him for a hip issue. Of course with all the commercials and all the noise about hip replacement I expected the worst. I met with his tech first she took notes and shortly thereafter Dr. Gott came and briefly reviewed the notes and proceeded to go through the motions. Verified motion tenderness and then off to be irradiated okay sent for xrays. A few moments of silence and I was informed of the prognosis.....no need to go through hip replacement ....yay. He gave me the diagnosis in English not medical jargon. He gave me my instructions but made no guarantee that this was a cure all and left the door open for the possibility of additional treatment. Not what I wanted to hear but appreciated the honesty. Overall from the moment I walked in to the office to the time I left I felt like I was being treated with respect and care. The whole staff were friendly and above all professional.

Regardless of a physician's apparent competence I expect the doctor to ask/confirm what medications…read moreI'm taking and my online record to show current and correct correct medications. There was no inquiry at the check in either. The chaotic office for check in and check out, failure of everyone to confirm current medications, not having a fully operational patient portal, and failure to provide the expected prescription aren't what I expect. Update: I discovered Doctor didn't provide prescription then was not in the office this following week which is why I didn't receive the promised prescription by email. After another call to the office today, I was promised a "generic prescription" would be emailed. It never arrived so I left yet another message. It's amusing though that during this time I've received 3 surveys about quality of care at this office!

Dr. Brodsky continues to be amazing-surpassing even my high standards. I tripped on my shoelace at…read morenight and mistakenly thought since I could walk, was ok. Major pain the next day. Happily I was able to see him the same day I called. While other doctors and their staff let things slip as Covid took over, he has maintained the same high quality/expertise and concern for patients that he had couple years ago. Dr. Brodsky provided me with pros and cons of treatment options (including cost/time of recovery and where to get a walker.) When supply shortage meant the walker wasn't available, he approved another option within few minutes (thus ensuring I got walker the next day rather than week or more out.) I should heal in a few weeks enthused. Additionally appreciate that he treated me professionally. My friends took care of telling me to ditch shoes, get rid of loose rugs, and more. I highly recommend Dr. Brodsky who continues to excel.

I love Dr. Cavallo's office…read more I came here for an evaluation after I hurt my knee and went to Stamford Hospital ER and they told me I sprained my knee. A week and a half later my knee still didn't feel right. I made an appointment to go to Dr. Cavallo. He was real thorough. After he did the test. He diagnosed me with a torn meniscus in my right knee, he even said you can get a second opinion if I would like. He does a lot of them, he him self has even had the surgery. I was very surprised since Stamford hospital was so off with my diagnosis. Dr. Cavallo actually did my surgery and I was very nervous because this was my first surgery. He put me at ease and did my surgery perfectly. Recovery was long and one of the toughest things I've had to do through no fault of his. I also started physical therapy in the same office with James Caroleo and he and his team who have also been wonderful. I would highly recommended Dr. Cavallo office for your orthopedic needs.

Laura, Vilma and Brandy have taken great care of me throughout the years and are always punctual with appointment reminders. It's a truly wonderful feeling to walk into an office and be greeted by friendly people who you can tell truly care. Another favorite of mine, Lori!! Always smiling and glowing she's a trip and have always ensured surgery dates are set and all documents are in order. Doc had performed two surgeries on me in the last few years. (Right shoulder repair, left knee arthroscopy). I enjoy coming in to see Doc as he answers all my questions and is extremely thorough. We have always talked all options prior to surgery and I have never not felt comfortable with his opinions. He's got a great personality, is super friendly and I have recommended him to many of friends and loved ones. There are plenty of doctors out there who may get the job done, but if you want to feel like you truly matter and that you are in good hands......there's only one thing to do.....call Doc today and you will understand exactly what I mean. Should you need physical therapy, his staff (James and Isac) on site are also amazing. I've moved to a different state and would still call these guys should I have any PT needs.

He is not one of them. Very disappointed.
