Absolutely every single stereotype about Orthopedic Surgeons is confirmed at CCOS. Yes, I know,…read morethey're doctors. And any medical doctor on this planet is an incredibly intelligent individual who had to work very hard to get to where they are today. But I don't think it's unfair to have some measure of expectation when seeing any doctor, orthopedists included. Stereotypes encountered are as follows: 1) Absolutely absurd wait time. I peered at the doctor's schedule through the glass - he's got a freakin' appointment EVERY FIVE MINUTES. That's patently ridiculous. I showed up on time for my appointment, waited 45 minutes in the waiting room, then another 20 in the examination room. All for a 5-minute consultation. Speaking of which... 2) Way, way, way too fast! Because of the aforementioned impossible-to-keep schedule, the doctor was in and out in less time than you can say "plantar fasciitis." He left no time for questions, comments, recommendations. Just an Rx for physical therapy and a puff of smoke. 3) The cost. I have crappy medical insurance, and wound up footing a quite ridiculous bill for this drive-thru level service. Thankfully, my injury required no further visits, because I am reluctant at best to come back. I suggest going to Orthopedic Associates of Hartford in Glastonbury if you can. They're a much better operation.

Dr. Mazzara continues to distinguish himself as one of Connecticut's "Top Docs."…read more I just recently graduated from college and had issues post graduation with some athletics injuries I sustained from university athletics. Since the trainers no longer could help, I sought outside help and Dr. Mazzara was absolutely phenomenal at every turn. More than anything I was looking for someone with answers and solutions and for the first time a doctor had both with ease of booking appointments. Sure there's a bit of a wait time but it becomes negligent when given the opportunity to get rid of your pain!

From the first visit with Dr. Dugdale to the very last visit I had great service. He also uses a program FORCE which guides patients with exercises and information for before surgery on what to expect & post-surgery information. This was extremely beneficial. If I need to another surgery on my other knee I will definitely go back to Dr. Dugdale.

Dr. Castanho, does not offer the type of care that a traditional physician offers. He is not…read more licesenced medical doctor. He is a homeopath. As such he does not accept health insurance and his office visits can be rather expensive when one has to pay out of pocket for the entire visit. He does spend a good amount of time listening to his clients, as compared to traditional medical doctors. Since he cannot prescribe medication, he will sell you his own private label vitamins and supplements as well as a "healthy" diet. Because he cannot prescribe FDA approved medicines, my results are mixed using supplements and diet. Overall I feel better, but the specific issue I went to him for remains unresolved. I have reccomend others to him.

I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new doctor!

I was disappointment with my experience at the Orthopedic Walk In practice on Ensign Drive in Avon…read more After a clear shoulder injury and severe pain, conclusions were quickly jumped to and comparisons made to patients who are decades older than me, rather than on my actual history and symptoms. When I later had the follow up with the Orthopedic Physician, my concerns were again not fully heard, and the evaluation relied heavily on the PA's initial ( and incorrect) assumption, instead of reassessing my condition. Advanced imaging was initially refused, and I was sent to Physical Therapy. After months of limited improvement, imagining was finally ordered and showed that the initial assumption was wrong. Patients deserve to be listened to, have their concerns taken seriously, and to receive thoughtful, individualized care. Relying on age based comparisons and repeating unexamined assumptions can lead to delayed diagnosis, prolonged pain, and unnecessarily/ incorrect treatment.

The office is always clean and inviting. The front end staff is quick to address and the nurses have been very nice and professional to me. Was always made to feel comfortable and at home. They would numb me up, cut out a bump, then staple me together and send me on my way. Quick and easy. The scars have been very light and hard to spot, which is good for very visible areas. Overall, a great place for addressing head bumps.
