Hand and orthopedic Surgeon, Hartford CT

“There are very few aspects of life that are always dependable and that you can count on.  Through the years I was lucky enough to work with you, a large part of my professional life was just that. I knew any patient of mine that was being treated by you would get expert and thorough care and have it delivered with a smile and words of encouragement. I know this because every patient described their experience with you in those very words. For that I will always be grateful to you."

Mel, West Hartford

"The first time I saw Julie she immediately put me at ease.  I had no use of my right arm following a bad fall with multiple injuries. She had a wealth of knowledge  and was always progressing my therapy in order for me to regain motion, strength and alleviate my pain.  She was always smiling, cheerful and encouarging, and I looked forward to our treatment sessions each week."

I will always be grateful to Julie helping me rehab my shoulder.  I chose to hold off on recommended surgery and she helped to decrease my pain while gain strength at the same time.  I always had so many questions regarding what I can and can't do and she always took the extra time to thoroughly and patiently explain using terms that the average person can understand."
