Connecticut Center For Orthopedic Surgery

Dr. Mazzara continues to distinguish himself as one of Connecticut’s «Top Docs.»
I just recently graduated from college and had issues post graduation with some athletics injuries I sustained from university athletics. Since the trainers no longer could help, I sought outside help and Dr. Mazzara was absolutely phenomenal at every turn.
More than anything I was looking for someone with answers and solutions and for the first time a doctor had both with ease of booking appointments. Sure there’s a bit of a wait time but it becomes negligent when given the opportunity to get rid of your pain!

Absolutely every single stereotype about Orthopedic Surgeons is confirmed at CCOS. Yes, I know, they’re doctors. And any medical doctor on this planet is an incredibly intelligent individual who had to work very hard to get to where they are today. But I don’t think it’s unfair to have some measure of expectation when seeing any doctor, orthopedists included. Stereotypes encountered are as follows:
1) Absolutely absurd wait time. I peered at the doctor’s schedule through the glass — he’s got a freakin’ appointment EVERY FIVE MINUTES. That’s patently ridiculous. I showed up on time for my appointment, waited 45 minutes in the waiting room, then another 20 in the examination room. All for a 5-​minute consultation. Speaking of which…
2) Way, way, way too fast! Because of the aforementioned impossible-​to-​keep schedule, the doctor was in and out in less time than you can say «plantar fasciitis.» He left no time for questions, comments, recommendations. Just an Rx for physical therapy and a puff of smoke.
3) The cost. I have crappy medical insurance, and wound up footing a quite ridiculous bill for this drive-​thru level service. Thankfully, my injury required no further visits, because I am reluctant at best to come back.
I suggest going to Orthopedic Associates of Hartford in Glastonbury if you can. They’re a much better operation.
