Patient Testimonials

Dr. Ciminiello and the entire OrthoConnecticut team were absolutely fantastic.

I ruptured my triceps muscle at the elbow (a very unusual injury) on April Fools Day ? 

Dr Ciminiello performed the surgery and after 2 weeks in a cast I was fitted with a brace and started therapy. I was told that this type of injury required 9 to 12 months to heal and at 8 months I am 100%. Everyone, from the receptionists, therapists, PA and Dr. Ciminiello were a pleasure to work with. I was seen promptly at all of my appointments. Dr Ciminiello is extremely personable. I could not be happier with my experience and results. I highly recommend him.

From the moment my Mom and I stepped into OrthoConnecticut - Danbury Orthopedics we received such wonderful help, from the front desk to how caring and supportive my mom's nurses were.

The Anesthesiologist and surgeon were also more than kind and informative.

Everyone there made us feel like individuals that really mattered. The care was wonderful! I am a nurse and it was so heartwarming to see the individual care and attention my mom received.

Thank you OrthoConnecticut-Danbury Orthopedics!

I first had fluid drawn from both of my extremely swollen and sore knees by Kim VanPelt, PA-C.

Kim was very gentle, explained everything thoroughly and was very kind.

She asked many questions before proceeding and I value that too. She gave me shots for cushioning and was so caring.

I just had the most incredible doctor's office visit ever.

I had a midafternoon (2:30pm) scheduled appointment. Showed up at 2:25pm and was called upon within 1 minute.

I was expecting 30-45 minute which is par for the course with most provider offices. Once in my appointed treatment room I saw my doctor within one minute. I was out the door in under 5 minutes total. Just incredible plus the office staff was professional, courteous and friendly. Overall just a great experience.

Thanks

I was fortunate enough to be assigned Dr. DiGiovanni's team for repair of a broken wrist.

From reception to exams to surgery to post-op, I was treated with compassion and professionalism at all times.

Wait times were minimal, I never felt rushed during any procedure, and my questions were answered thoroughly. The surgical team members were also patient, helpful, and efficient at all times. It's obvious that these staff members enjoy what they do!

When my 5 year old broke her arm last month, I was just hoping to find a good doctor with whom my daughter could feel comfortable.

We have been to both the Danbury and Ridgefield offices, as well as the surgical center.

Every single staff member, including Dr. Ciminiello and his PA, Peter Ackerman, were amazing! From start to finish, my daughter was treated with care and respect. Their attentiveness and concern made my daughter feel comfortable and relaxed. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Ciminiello and his amazing staff members, especially for pediatric care. We are very thankful for such a positive experience.

Given such a large practice and in multiple locations, I have found this group to be attentive, positive, responsive, and sensitive to my concerns.

Tasha in particularly allayed my concerns and the on-call receptionists are fantastic.

Wait time is also reasonable.

Kimberly Van Pelt, PA-C, saved me - diagnosed my Shingles!

I came to the office because of severe pain in right side.

Went to Norwalk Hospital twice and they gave me morphine through I.V. Had Cat Scans done of kidneys, blood flow, x-rays of back and ribs - still no answer!! Came to see Kimberly (PA-C) and immediately she said I had SHINGLES!! She saved me!! Thank you so much! Kim is a very special person. Caring, thoughtful, compassionate, etc., etc.

Love her!

I had arthroscopic surgery; this is my fifth surgery in total over the years.

Dr. Ciminiello and his team have been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. I was in the gym three days after my surgery and could not be recovering better.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Ciminiello.

I had rotator cuff surgery to repair a full thickness tear.

Excellent facilities with very polite staff. Dr. Ciminiello explained everything thoroughly and accurately. My surgery was successful and I am doing great in my recovery. I’m very pleased and highly recommend.

Dr. Dunleavy is the best orthopedic doctor.

He replaced one hip and one knee and no problems since.

Great bedside manner and very thorough with explaining procedure and recuperation. Would recommend him to anyone. Very efficient office staff also.

Dr. Kloth and his staff are awesome.

I want an alternative to surgery and he is stopping at nothing to try and help me.
