It took a lot of visits to other doctors before I found Andrea Stewart, and I couldn't be happier. She is very professional, very smart, kind and cares deeply about her patients. Wait time is just a few minutes, and the staff is extremely pleasant! If you are suffering from any type of severe pain you owe it to yourself to see the very best ~ Andrea Stewart

When I had some serious SX, the nurses at L&M Hospital called him "the wizard"! He's down to earth, talks to your like your a person (not a number) and explains everything. He does not try to stop you from asking questions. His PA and the staff are professional and I have never had a single problem with his office, I recommend them 100%.

If you are going to have any surgery related to your neck you go to the best, Dr. Patrick Doherty…read more I have had surgeries my entire life and never have I had the confidence and trust that I have in him. I thought I was on deaths door five years ago (2019). I was passing out at work because of the pain and pressure on my spinal column. I was fortunate enough to get an emergency surgery with Dr. Doherty. He showed me a picture of the bone growth he removed from my neck that was the size of a quarter. He then performed a fusion on my C6-C7. I walked out of the hospital the next morning with no neck brace, no physical therapy, and no pain or narcotic medicine needed. If I did not have sleep apnea, he was going to send me home the same day as the surgery. Five years later, 2024, I had my C5-C6 fused. This surgery was more difficult because of the scar tissue which has made my recovery longer. Dr. Doherty is the best there is and I would never go to another surgeon for neck issues. His communication with his patients is amazing and it is in a timely manner. I have to clarify; it was Dr. Doherty got back to me not anyone else. I have never had that commitment and dedication from a doctor, especially a surgeon of his caliber.

CT Orthopaedics is hands down the best IMO…read more. I've been a patient of Dr. Mark Lorenze's for a little over a year now. He has been helping me with my Dequarvin's which I have in both wrists. 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.

I was in very good hands with Zach. I am now finished with the office appointments, but I am diligent in doing my twice daily home maintenance PT sessions.

Dave, the owner, hires great people who truly care about helping their clients. I highly recommend Spectrum Physical Therapy for any PT issues. You'll be in good hands.
