Our primary focus at Connecticut Orthopaedics continues to be our commitment to the well-being of our patients, staff, and the community we serve.

Based on the latest Department of Public Health decision to eliminate the mask requirement in healthcare facilities, Connecticut Orthopaedics has made masks optional for all patients and staff.

Masks continued to be required at all outpatient surgical centers, and are recommended for patients in the physical therapy and chiropractic setting.

The following office procedures remain in place to protect our patients and staff:

• Patients are asked screening questions upon scheduling and again prior to their appointment.
• Increased cleaning takes place in our offices, waiting and exam rooms.
• Hand sanitizer is available throughout our offices.

If you’re not feeling well, we strongly encourage you to reschedule your appointment. However, if your orthopaedic situation is urgent, please call us in advance so we may be prepared.
