Dr. Soojian: Did All the Right Things It has been twelve weeks since I first visited OrthoConnecticut, and I can confidently say that they did all the right things. Today, the arm that I fractured feels little to no pain and continues to improve everyday. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, responsive, kind, and excellent at walking through medical specifics with patients. While I’m sure all the doctors onsite are excellent, I’d recommend Dr. Soojian to anyone without hesitation!
