Love, Love, Love, The Hand Center. I can not say enough about this place. My son broke 2 fingers,…read moreI was originally going to bring him to a walk in, but some ladies at my work suggested The Hand Center. From the moment I called they were polite, efficient and so courteous. I was very impressed with how little waiting we had to do, between getting into a room to the x-ray portion to seeing the Dr. Dillon, who can I just say is fabulous. We then were directed to their on site orthopedic area where Ms. Lois made my son a customized splint right there. This place is like a 1 stop shop. Should I or anyone I know need a hand specialist, I will be sure to direct them to The Hand Center. Just Fabulous!!!

I had an ACL replaced in my right knee and my husband had one rotator cuff surgerically repaired by…read moreDr. Dugdale. My husband followed Dr. Dugdale's orders on recovery ( which Dr. said was absolutely necessary for positive outcome) and has regained full use of that arm. My husband fell and hurt his other shoulder. For that particular injury, Dr. Dugdale did not recommend surgery, but PT instead. My husband did the PT at appmts/home and has regained full usage of that shoulder/arm as well. I too have full usage of my knee as a result of the surgery. Dr.Dugdale is an excellent surgeon and really knows his stuff. I wouldn't have any orthopedic surgery done without consulting with him first getting his recommendation and if deemed necessary then would request him to do the surgery.

I had what turned out to be a torn meniscus which caused intermittent pain. Dr. Dugdale suggested…read morethat arthroscopic surgery was optional but, since I had a planned vacation which involved a lot of walking three months later, I elected to have the surgery. What the X-Ray (and radiologist's report) said was that I also had mild arthritis. And the surgery had a risk of inflaming the arthritis. I don't recall Dr. Dugdale mentioning that risk, all I recall was a generic list that would apply to any surgery. But, regardless, following the surgery, I was in constant pain well beyond the expected recovery period and DR. Dugdale decided it wasn't an orthopedic problem and sent me back to my primary care physician. I eventually went to a different orthopedist (in a different practice) who ordered a new MRI and found the arthritis had, indeed, flared up. The reason I won't return to Dugdale again is the way I was dismissed as not having an orthopedic problem when, indeed, I did - and not one that was difficult to diagnose or particularly unlikely under those conditions, if he'd taken the time. I hobbled through vacation, as a result.

Dr. Kennon was recommended to me by my long-time physical therapist, who has practiced in the…read moreHartford area for several decades. He was also recommended by a knowledgeable friend. In 2014 he did my left hip, in 2019 my right hip and in 2020 my right knee. All were total replacements. I could not be happier with each result and recommend him unconditionally. All of my surgeries were at the CJRI at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford. While there I talked to several nurses and PT's. All agreed he was one of the top 2 or 3 orthopedic surgeons doing hips and knees in the area. He appears to do a very large number of hips and knees which is one of the things one wants in an orthopedist doing such procedures. My experience, and theirs, was that he combines an excellent surgical technique with a warm bedside manner, spending as much time answering questions and explaining all options and answering questions. I also found all the group's staff to be exceptional, from the PA's to the surgical schedulers. I cannot recommend Dr. Kennon more highly.

John Fulkerson ended my 8 month ordeal around 5 years ago where I went to 3 doctors over and over…read moreagain in Philadelphia which kept on telling me that there was nothing wrong with me or that there was nothing that they could do for me. I was at wits end. It seemed like my mother was the only person who believed that there was really a something wrong with not only my right knee, but my left knee. I hurt myself really badly playing basketball. I hurt both knees on the same day. I couldn't believe it. I had played sports 5 days a week for my whole life. Then I couldn't even walk a block without walking b/c of all the pain. It was so depressing. The doctors at the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia told me there was nothing wrong with me. I think I saw them 4 times. I saw Dr. Larry Miller around 5 times. The kicker I had to keep waiting 3-4 weeks in between appointments hoping that the next time would be different. I couldn't give up. I finally decided to try someone else. Someone said that he was one of the best on the east coast. He also fit me in right away. I remember to this day it was November 20th. I was injured in February. from February to November 20th barely able to walk in pain. Then Dr Fulterson (I remember this like it was yesterday) He read my MRI...and felt my right knee. There were two areas of distinct pain. He said you definitely have some torn cartilage. He also said that there may be two tears. He said the pain that I was having was not from the exact area was showing the tear on the MRI. He then said that I can operate on the 26th of November. So after 8 months of agony and helplessness in one visit I had someone who verified that there was a problem and that he would try and fix it. That he offered to do it 6 days later. I felt like he cared so much. I wound up getting a 5th opinion from the Texas Rangers Baseball Club team orthopedist and he concurred that there was some kind of tear by just reading the MRI. He recommended I get the surgery done by Dr. Paul Sethi in Greenwich. I went to Dr. Sethi who also gave me a half hour and went all over the MRI and felt my knee. Dr. Sethi fit me in and did the surgery which lasted 2 hours longer then he thought it would take. I had both a torn meniscus and torn articular cartilage that lined the femor. I was on crutches for 4 weeks and had rehab of another 18 months. He also performed surgery on a minor lateral meniscus tear on my left knee. I know walk without pain after going through 16 months of almost not being able to walk a block without crying. Dr. Fulkerson was the first one who made me feel like I wasn't crazy. Dr. Freedman of Jefferson in Phila told me that if I kept on looking and seeing enough doctors that I would find something even though there was nothing to find. He told me I was on a wild goose chase. My mom and I disagreed. I just want to thank Dr. Fulkerson for being there for me when I really needed him. There are doctors and then there are doctors who care. He is in the second category. thank you!

Best physical therapy in Connecticut, hands down. They tried…read moresome facia work on my tibial tendon, (ankle) that was helpful. I have never seen this at ANY physical therapy clinic ever. I have been to several connected to hospitals, that had gym and pool access & they do not come close to the unique techniques used by these experts. The KT tape was also amazing! (AKA: my binke, lol) I still use it. I ended up needing to go back to the surgeon, so I only used 10 of 12 visits. It was decided, that after this much time, I was not improving enough, so no sense returning. The claim adjuster was notified and understood. About a month after I left, I got call from the receptionist asking me why I did not come back. Risk management wanted to know? That was odd because Vinnie, decided the facia work was not helping, and suggested I go get the steroid injection, which I did. I would thnk that would have been in my chart and forwarded on. Minor glitch in communication. Very grateful for the feedback on the scoliosis brace that was wrong for me. That was major niceness & I am forever grateful for your input. I was able to return it & found an adult scoliosis brace from Source Ortho, online. I know exactly ZERO about adult scoliosis braces. Another great plus is....Tim picks the best music while you are there. That was the only interaction I had with him, but I appreciate good vibes. Look no further. This is the place for healing~

I got there at 4pm so I could get in first but there were already 4 people ahead of me. However, things moved along quite well, and I was in a room and having XR's taken within 30 minutes! The PA (who was awesome) and I wish I could type her name here, talked to me, she was professional, smart, very nice and covered everything, I felt like I had no doubts about anything she told me. She just made me feel like I was in the best hands. She gave me a steroid injection which she did very proficiently. So I wanted to shout out thank you for being there, you helped me so much.

Back in September of 2021 I went to a podiatrist before Dr. Wagner for heel/foot pain AFTER doing a month of stretches and cold therapy. The doctor said I needed to stretch more do more P/T and buy orthotics from a place she recommended. I asked about an injection and she said the area was too big of an area where I indicated my pain was. I spent the next month in pain before calling Dr. Wagner's office in near tears because of the pain. Every morning until I got into bed at night the foot was so painful. One of my dogs jumped on the bed and grazed my foot I thought I was going to pass out. I call his office the next day and I'm given a SAME day appointment because I'm almost in tears. I'm a big guy, there's no hiding that fact. Dr Wagner never once said he couldn't help me because of my size/weight which is what some practitioners utter first before anything. A full set of X-rays, a diabetic foot check, a nail trim, and then doc says you're gonna walk outta here without a problem. A 30 second injection into my foot in a couple of areas and I'm finished. He has me wait a couple of minutes before putting my shoes and socks on, which he politely offered to help with. I start to hovel out of the exam room because I have been so used to walking like I'm wearing high heels because pressure on the middle and her have hurt so much. I get into the car to start my drive home and realize that I just walked out of the doctors office with my foot fully touching the ground. I start to think, did I just imagine myself walking like that? I am really not in pain or did I just create an alternate reality to block out the pain? I get home, take a deep breathe as I place my foot on the ground and step down from the truck. There's no pain. No. Pain. At. All. I'm walking. Not wincing, not walking on my tippy toes, not thinking about cutting my foot off. Dr. Wagner and his team are amazing!! Besides my other half he's the only person I will allow to touch my feet. This man is an amazing podiatrist and if you need help go see him!
