Patient Testimonial

I could not have hand-picked a more positive and enthusiastic cheerleader than Dr. Sayegh

After a nasty spill off my bicycle resulted in a punctured lung and broken humerus, I felt my life shatter right before me. I endured writhing pain like I’d never experienced in all of my 71 years, exacerbated as I looked at the X-ray of my broken arm. Enter: Dr. Michael Sayegh, an award winning and fellowship-trained hand and upper extremity orthopedic surgeon specializing in the surgical and non-surgical care of conditions involving the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand in adult and pediatric patients.

First of all, after looking long and hard at the break, I could never have imagined how he would piece everything back together. Secondly, after looking at the hardware that he so skillfully installed, I am incredulous that my pain level has gone from beyond a 10 to almost nothing AND I AM ONLY ONE WEEK OUT OF SURGERY!

In an instant, my independence was lost, so much in my life had to be put on hold and I needed more than a skillful surgeon; I needed some hope and inspiration. I could not have hand-picked a more positive and enthusiastic cheerleader than Dr. Sayegh.

I left my surgery follow up fully expecting to be at 100% of my capacity within a matter of a few months. What a difference his attitude made in my entire day and what an impact it will have on my total recovery.

Congratulations to Ortho Connecticut for hand selecting this young surgeon with so many awards and distinctions, who expects nothing but excellence on absolutely every single level. I have nothing but gratitude.
