Dr Jambor was about 10 minutes late for my first appointment . He apologized for running late and sat down and spoke to me for a good 15 to 20 minutes regarding my injury and athletic goals. After examining my shoulder he ordered an mri which revealed a rotatorcuff tear. (which is what he predicted I had before ordering MRI!). I decided to have surgery and he did a fantastic job. He even called me on his cell phone the night after my surgery to check on me and see how I was feeling. A very friendly and empathetic doctor (rare for a surgeon). I have returned to playing sports and have Dr Jambor to thank. I would highly recommend seeing Dr Jambor if you need to see a caring and skilled ortho surgeon.

Four months ago I went to Dr. Jambor to have him look at my knee. I'm a very athletic person and i…read moreneed to keep my body healthy.. Anyway I went to get a MRI and Dr. Jambor concluded that I have a torn meniscus. So we proceeded to have Dr. Jambor go in and take care of my injury. After i wake up from surgery Dr. Jambor told me that he did not find a torn meniscus in my knee, even though he read that my MRI had shown I did in fact have a torn meniscus. After four months today i am still in pain and got another MRI and brought it to two other doctors and their is STILL a torn meniscus in my knee. I am very disappointed and frustrated that Dr. Jambor did such a poor performance in my surgery. Now i am going back into surgery for the same exact procedure that i wouldn't even have to be doing if Dr. Jambor did what we paid for him to do... I suggest NO ONE to go to him even if he is local.

He was dismissive, aloof and over the top patronizing. I'm no expert in this field but, I'm having a difficult time believing that after getting my upper arm sliced open on both sides has led me to have carpal tunnel syndrome. He is convinced that my nerve pain, which only started after being brutally injured and spending two weeks in the ICU has nothing to do with the nerve pain I'm experiencing. Dr. Shah was snarky and beyond rude. He literally gave me a pat on the back which felt like an adult patting a child on the head. What an awful experience. If you are someone that enjoys being belittled and probably misdiagnosed, then I highly recommend Dr. Shah!

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.

They suggested x-rays and had them available to be taken immediately, but didn't pressure me at all when I said I preferred no x-rays. The doctor (maybe was a PA) was detailed and thorough, not at all rushed. Very comprehensive. She took a holistic approach in addition to (not instead of) traditional treatment. She got me a brace right away with no delay due to insurance. I had gone to a different orthopedic urgent care in Rocky Hill 2 to 3 years ago for a similar injury, and that place didn't even get me a brace. They (the other place) said they had to wait for insurance approval. They never got the approval. Here they got me the brace right away, and called in my prescriptions right away, which seem to be very helpful. She (the PA) gave me some additional recommendations and important advice. I seem to be getting much better. I don't remember the doctor's name, but the prescription bottles say M Wiggins.

I went in for a evaluation, all went well during the evaluation.

When I got to center I asked if I would owe anything and the person at the desk said only $45 for the office visit. Today I got a bill for $222. I asked billing why and they said $45 for the office visit and the difference was my co-pay that my insurance required I pay. If I knew that the bill would be so high I would never have done the evaluation. I was not having any symptoms except a bulging vein. I would tell anyone considering going to them get the payment information in writing. Very mad at the bill I received.

Rachel did the ultrasound of both my legs. Even though I was a little nervous, she was kind, gentle and knowledgeable. Based on her ultrasound, she found the cause of my varicose Vein issues. I highly recommend Rachel. Dr. John James explained every detail of what his treatment plan would be for me. I am very grateful for all the knowledge and expertise. I am going back in a few weeks for my Vein treatments, and I can not wait!

I saw Dr. Polatnick for my chest pain. He was very thorough, hospitable, and listened attentively…read more He told me that I can call anytime if I have any questions. I appreciated his willingness to be helpful. He told me to have an ultrasound. I had the ultrasound at another hospital, and the result was sent to his office. I called the office yesterday and asked about the result of the ultrasound. I was asking to speak with the doctor directly, but I was not able to. A receptionist over the phone stated she talked to the doctor, and the result was "indeterminate." I asked her to explain what that means. She stated, "It means we don't know what the heck is wrong with you." Then I asked what else the doctor found in the result. She stated there is nothing she can say. I was disappointed that she was not willing to help me speak with the doctor directly regarding my test results. I called the hospital today again about some concerns that I had. A receptionist became irritated, and stated "The doctor has nothing to talk to you about that." I asserted the importance of speaking with my doctor. She did not listen. She became more irritated and insisted that the doctor does not need to speak to me. She finally stated she would let the doctor know about my call. However, she was very unhelpful and unwilling to assist me. When I explained to her the importance of this matter, she simply hung up while I was still speaking. I felt mistreated and disrespected by her rude and unprofessional behavior. My hope is the doctor is informed about this inappropriate and unjust behavior of his receptionist(s) and he can take appropriate actions to rectify this. As a patient, I have a right to speak with my doctor.

This woman is absolutely incredible!…read more I've been to both of her offices and the staff is amazing, so friendly, compassionate. They make the place feel very 'home' like, even on the phone! Both offices are pleasant, thorough, relaxing and efficient. I approached Dr. Breakstone after seeing a doctor I didn't trust. My old doctor catered to the kind of families that have ten kids and counting, the waiting room was always full, I waited for up to an hour or more after my appointment time every time, mixed up my paperwork and ultrasounds more than once, and the closest 'emergency' appointment I could be seen at took a month to book. Dr. Breakstone's office was nothing like that: she saw me immediately, sat me down for a thorough talk, a get-to-know before ever asking me to get changed, went completely over my medical history and problems, understanding how nervous and unsure I was of a new doctor after leaving the one I did. But she was WONDERFUL. Through every visit she listens, respects every patient, really takes the time to explain options and procedure, and I've recommended her to every woman I can, all that say the same things I am here. Without her I would still be a hormonal mess and still in so much agony. I highly recommend her, especially for first-time patients!
