Through physical therapy and massage, the pain is now managed. I'm back to tennis, which is my passion.

I'm sure I've forgotten a few others but every single person that is working in that office is supportive, kind, empathetic, and understands that they are part of someone else's integral story. Each time I visited the office, there was meditation music playing and it was warm and cozy, plus there were beverages offered as well as a smile. From heartwarming quotes, to funny anecdotes on a whiteboard, to dim-lit exam rooms to ease anxiety and light meditation music to soothe nerves, to painless blood tests and fun and sweet band-aids, attention to detail is *chef's kiss* It's like being nervous for a high-school exam but once you arrive, you know you have support and you can leave feeling like you aced it. I can't say enough how warm and inviting and knowledgeable each person is that works there. Meeting the doctor and nurse and receiving a warm greeting and hug was the cherry on top. It's not clinical or cold (in comparison to the Farmington location - yikes). Farmington feels icy and stark, plus - disorganized and like we are cattle with a number. Truly - if I never had to visit Farmington CARS, that would be great. The Hartford location is the exact opposite. I'm grateful that this journey had so many friendly faces. Love CARS - Hartford!!

I recently went in for my second hair transplant with Dr. Boden to replace more of the hair I have…read morelost over the years since my last procedure 3 years ago. My experience was very similar to last time which involved a near painless experience, outstanding attention to detail and surgical care, as well as world class follow up care and communication. I can't recommend hair surgery and Dr. Boden enough. He is masterful and I am thrilled to be able to maintain a full head of hair thanks to modern technology and the expertise of Dr. Boden and his staff.

Dr. Boden and his team are some of the most knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate professionals…read moreI have interacted with. The consultation was in-depth, informative, and in no way trying to coerce me into any specific treatment for my hair loss. I ended up wanting a hair transplant, and Dr. Boden recommended the FUT procedure. Dr. Boden and his staff were readily available if I had questions, and they were proactive with communicating during the time between my consultation and procedure. On the day of the procedure, everything was focused on making me as comfortable as possible. Dr. Boden and his team were attentive and frequently checked in to ensure I was not in any pain or discomfort. In all honesty, the procedure was relaxing and as pleasant as a procedure like a hair transplant could possibly be. An anecdotal example of Dr. Boden caring about my comfort is when he noticed discomfort in my eye. He had me take a break and he examined my eye, finding something stuck in it. He made sure to give me contact information for optometrists near my hometown and later called me personally to check on how my eye appointment went. The post operation procedure was clearly communicated, and I was given all materials needed follow the post-op care plan. Surprisingly, the pain level was completely manageable and as long as I took the ibuprofen, my post operation pain was minimal. Dr. Boden called to check in on me the day after the procedure to make sure there were no concerns on my end. Two weeks after the procedure, the stitching from where the follicles were removed were taken out, and Dr. Boden examined my scalp to ensure the healing process was going as planned. Overall, this was one of the most pleasant medical procedures I have ever had. Dr. Boden is a class act, and his team, from the front desk, to surgical assistants, are top notch. I would not hesitate to go back to this practice if I ever wanted a procedure again.

Ugh. I had my first appointment here as a new patient for an issue that arose from previous…read moresurgeries, that I no longer wanted to see my previous doctor for. I made my appointment ~6 weeks in advance, and it was not easy to get. It was for 11 AM. I arrived at 10:35, just to give myself plenty of time for paperwork. At 10:50, my name was called and I went in with the x-ray tech. She took my x-rays within ten minutes, and then informed me the "doctor moves pretty slowly, so it will be a few minutes before she sees you. But don't worry she spends the same amount of time with you as everyone else". To me, that means 15 minutes or so. After waiting about 20 minutes, the medical assistant comes in to ask me preliminary questions, then she leaves and says she will go inform the doctor of my responses and be right in to see me. 10 minutes pass. 20 minutes pass. It gets to be an hour past my appointment time. Still no doctor. FINALLY, at 12:15, 75 minutes AFTER my appointment time, the doctor rolls in! My appointment was a decent amount of time, the doctor was thorough, not warm and fuzzy, but very knowledgable. I am pleased with her answers and recommendations. She recommended trying product X, a shoe insertion. She explained how to use it. Then went and got one to show me, she said "here we can give this one to you to get you started". I assume that means they are giving it to me, at no cost. Finally at 12:50, when I'm leaving, I start to exit the office, and I head "excuse me! excuse me! That sample is ten dollars." Like whatever, I paid the $10.00 and left. But I would have gone to CVS and gotten the same product for $4.00 had I known... Doctor should have told me of the cost. Overall one of the most annoying experiences of the year. Because the doctor is highly recommended and I did feel she knew what she was talking about, I will see her again. I will try for her Rocky Hill office instead of the larger Hartford office, where they feel they can take 2 1/2 hours of my day (I was using my one hour lunch break.. Ha!) for a 30 minute appointment. Get your scheduling together. Felt good to get that out there!

It took her asking like 20 times when I was on the verge of passing out for them to transfer me to a place that was like 5 minutes away, Mount Sinai.
