    First, on the day of my surgery I received a call at 8 AM to see if I could arrive earlier as there…read morehad been a cancelation. I agreed and arrived at 9:45 AM. At 10:00 AM I was greated by a nurse in the waiting lounge, by the way whoever is your driver to take you home is not allowed to stay in the reception area. By 10:30 AM all the pre-op procedures were completed. At 11:00 AM, a Dr. intruduced himself as the anesthesiliagist. I asked him how long befor the surgery and he said 5-10 minutes. I then asked what time it was and he pointed to a clock at the nurses station. I thanked him and he left. Some time went by and, 11:30 AM, and I called my wife to see how she was doing. She thought that I was done and I told her that I was still waiting. I noticed the nurse who took care of me leave the area & at 12:30 PM I noticed that she had returned. I waved to her & she came over. I asked what is going on & she said that she would go and find out. She returned a few minutes later and told that the Dr. had run into a issue with a patient and that it would be a "while longer." When, finally at 1 PM the Dr. came to tell me that it would be a few minutes & that I would be going into surgery. You would think that after being asked to go in earlier than originally scheduled that someone would have the courtsey to come and tell you that there was a delay. Now my other "extremly" negative comment. I have sent four emails, over time, through the portal and NO ONE has ever answered my questions. So, DON'T bother setting one up as it's obvious that no one looks to see if you have made contact with OSG.

    The physician has been great. Her assistant is a disaster. Never will I go back there because of…read morethis one person (I use that term loosely). She has NO business interacting with patients. Because of her, I will find another Dr. Reception, X-ray, MRI, are all outstanding but this thing needs to be back office counting bandaids I had just found out my back fracture has gotten worse. No empathy, no recognition that id been there, nothing other than "you should know the back brace will cost $1000", and you already got a brace a year ago. This brace I bought from Walgreens, after a completely different back procedure, by a completely different doctor outside of osg. I had a lamenectomy (L3-5) over a year ago. I am being treated now for a fracture of L1. Totally different problems and treatment. Duhhh. Geez, even I know where the vertebrae lie in the spine. Even I can figure out that an over the counter back brace is good to protect a lamenectomy, while it heals, but is NOT the right brace for an L1 fracture that keeps compressing. I have severe osteoporosis. A -3.4 to be exact. I am in such pain. I am only 68. I need my back healthy. This person needs a class in patient care, and needs to be in the back office or working at subway (actually they are far nicer).

    Unresponsive. After a follow up for my daughter a very vague note was written about what sports she…read morecan and can't participate in. Called and spoke with medical assistant 5 separate times with no call back from the doctor. A month later still waiting and missing all sorts of sports.

    I very rarely post reviews about Doctors. In fact, I think this is my first one…read more So this is s Sports Medicine Doctor and you can both make an appointment and/or do the walk in. I did the Walk In. The experience was pretty bad. First off this place gets packed but the way it's run..people hearded in and out, everyone jammed around, etc..it is hectic and impersonal to the point of utter chaos but I get that and that isn't really my number one complaint much as I was so turned off by it. So my injury was a broken knee and a torn ACL. But I did not know that when I went in. They ARE supposed to be Sports Medicine Doctors. The verdict after they saw me? Go home and be careful for a day or two, nothing serious. I requested an X-Ray. Or an MRI. I was told one was not needed. So I did go home. And two days later I fell when my knee, which had been broken though I was not aware of it, buckled causing me to crash to thew floor. Went to another doctor who did an X-ray. When he saw nothing, he did an MRI and there the broken Knee and torn ACL were found. I am not trying to scare anyone, just warn them. If you come here and they dismiss your concerns, do not just accept it. Get a second opinion or if you really feel something is off insist on additional tests. It maybe nothing but then again it maybe something as it was for me. I will say it isn't that the doctor wasn't nice. In fact he was pleasant and I do not even remember the name of who I saw. But these people..to me anyway..gave the impression of being overworked in a crowded office and I am glad I got a second opinion otherwise it could have been even worse for me. So do your due diligence and trust your gut.

    This was my personal experience;…read more Even if you have been a previous patient within Yale Medical for years but are a new patient with the Yale Orthopedic & Rehab, expect a long wait for an appointment, at least for Dr. Gibson anyway. Even as a prior patient of Doctor Gibson beyond three years of seeing him last you are considered a new patient. Do not be fooled by a non-existent waiting list either, every time I called there to ask if there's been a cancellation they added me to it, nor the false hope of calling daily for a possible cancelation opening as you will learn below. I've had knee pain now for several months and I scheduled an appointment with Doctor Gibson for March of 2023, acquired in November of 2022. I've made numerous calls to try and obtain an earlier appointment due to a cancellation, as directed by Yale staff when I called to schedule my original appointment. I was advised to call daily by several people that schedule appointments. On December 19, 2022, I was told there was a cancellation in January of 2023. When the receptionist learned I was a new patient, I was told "Oh sorry, you're not eligible for this appointment as a new patient." A complete contradiction to what I was advised back in November and most every time I called. How can an open appointment not be available to a patient, whether that patient is new or existing!? To say the least I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated with Yale Orthopedics & Rehabilitation. Good luck to all new patients. Connecticut Orthopedics is a great alternative. Kurt T

    Dr. Halim is an incredibly smart and talented surgeon. I'd suffered with carnal tunnel syndrome for…read moremany years before developing full blown tendonitis back in 2015. As a result of a job that required a ridiculous amount of pushing furniture, carrying my office with me everywhere and not having a desk caused more damage than necessary. When a second shot of cortisone didn't work, Dr. Halim suggested I wear a brace to protect my wrist. In 2017 I found that surgery was the next step. I am no stranger to going under so I was fine with that. An MRI revealed arthritis as well so I was glad to be rid of it. After surgery I was in a cast followed by therapy. All one place, the doctors and nurses are professional and do their best to get you in and out quickly. Dr. Halim also has another office where appointments may be easier. She is kind and I am pain free.
