The pain is awful at times, and has lead me to having cortisone injections and going to occupational therapy. The thing about Dr. Lorenze that I appreciate the midst is that he NEVER pushes surgery right away. I'm under the age of 40 and tendon release surgery is the last resort. Dr. Lorenze's bedside manner is the absolute best. Always empathetic, compassionate, understanding, and all around professional. Between going to his office in Essex and Madison, both places are well kept, always clean, and welcoming. Not once have I ever experienced anything bad while in the care of Dr. Lorenze. His medical assistants are wonderful as well. I've never felt more comfortable anywhere else. I'm currently in the midst of more occupational therapy sessions - to which I feel are going really well! If for some reason OT does not work out for me in the long run, I will opt for the tendon release surgery. It's a quick procedure and I know I'll be in the greatest of care! Dr. Lorenze's knowledge and expertise show for sure - he is very intelligent. I absolutely refuse to go to Yale New Haven or Hartford Hospital for any kind of treatment for my orthopaedic issues. Special thanks to Dr, Lorenze, who continues to provide the best quality care for me as I continue to navigate the world of Dequarvin's! If it wasn't for him I probably would not be getting treatment for this painful syndrome.

Making my way to the shoreline from Hartford area there was an unnecessary concern about finding…read moremedical care - I can now say Dr. Mark Lorenze and his staff have obliterated any lingering concern. All the things you want in a doctor and his staff are in place. The staff is professional, concerned, efficient, and friendly. I went to see Dr. Lorenze for three very different issues - hands, elbow and knee; understandably he handled each different from a medical but Dr. Lorenze was consistent from a patient perspective: Kind, listened, and explained the issues, providing detail and still elicited questions. He "stepped" the process for each area so there was always an understanding of how we would proceed. IMPORTANT: I went in with a patient point of view I was going to need three different surgeries; Dr. Lorenze took the better approach - he never discussed surgery or short-term injections as a first options, he waited until he had all the information then methodically approached each issue differently. Hands and elbow did not need surgery, was provided information on both and they are no longer an issue. My knee required surgery, the date was set quickly, the surgery center was fantastic, all staff were nice, professional, provided detailed explanations, Dr. Lorenze met with me and answered all questions. Surgery went perfect, everything i experienced was explained before I left for home so i was prepared, follow up visits were reassuring, i was provided surgery photos of before and after, had questions answered, and now its off to rehab at their own rehabilitation office connected to Dr. Lorenze's practice. Class act, professional and skilled.

After cortisone shots and an eventual MRI, I was told that I do not have a tear or anything else that can be fixed with surgery, and given a prescription for physical therapy. I was not happy about this at all - I wanted a quick fix to be pain free and thought (naively) that surgery was the answer. I live close to Spectrum, so based on physical proximity (and the recommendation of a friend) I made an appointment with Corey. Long story short, I am in 95% less pain, sleep all night through again, and have far more range of motion than I did a few months ago. Therapy is as much fun as working hard can be, but we DO laugh (often) and I AM so much better than I was. The facility is clean, well-lit, and the bathroom is clean, too. Corey seem to have all the requisite tools, AND the necessary expertise. He is not just competent and trained in his field, he is so contagiously passionate about health and fitness! I would unequivocally recommend Corey and Spectrum.

I read their reviews and thought wow what a nice place and close to home. I went to visit the office today because my appointment is tomorrow and I wanted to make sure everything was in order for my appointment. When I arrived I was met with a confused stare and told the doctor I was scheduled for was not coming in tomorrow. Then Mary Anne looked again and said oh wait I think the PA will be here tomorrow. They also informed me that they don't have my Tricare referral yet. I sat down and called Tricare. I went through all the necessary steps to have the referral faxed again. While I was waiting on hold with Tricare I began to cough because I have a cold and I have a mask on to assure that I keep my cold to myself. Mary Anne at the front desk said Ma'am we can't see you tomorrow because you are sick and you are compromising all of our patients. I had a mask on and I just have a minor cold. I've had this cold for two weeks now and I'm at the end of it and just experiencing a dry cough because I didn't have water sitting there contacting Tricare over and over againShe was looking at me like I was a out break monkey or something. Mary Anne and Martha both laughed and talked about me while I was standing in front of them. Horrible customer service. I also don't understand why they don't have access to patients referral look ups. They make the patients do all of the work and threaten to not see you if you don't bring in a paper copy yourself. Well thanks Laura. K for the shout-out . I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful experience. I wish I could say the same. I'm updating my review because of my recent experience with this dermatology clinic. I must say that there are a few wonderful staff members there that treats their patients with respects and kindness. In fact I love my dermatologist there. He is always available for questions and help whenever you need it in a timely manner. My dermatologist recommended Fractora so I took his advice and scheduled a treatment. The day came for the procedure and I was late ‍. I was to arrive at 10:20am but I arrived at 10:30am. I was also standing in line waiting to check in until 10:40. The front desk staff members said sorry but we can't do your Fractora today because your facial numbing procedure will cut into our lunch time. We will schedule you for Monday. I got a phone call from them this morning and the staff member said "I'm sorry to inform you but we have to cancel your Monday appointment due to low inventory. You have a skin complexion that requires a special needle . We have limited stock because we don't get that much business from people with your darker skin type so we are not ordering any extra right now because it's not worth it. We will keep you on a waiting list that could take months to get you in. You should just look elsewhere or go to a place wherever the Navy moves you. Good luck".
