RUSSELL J. CAVALLO, MD - STAMFORD HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP REVIEWS
We were so fortunate to have been recommended to Dr. Cavallo for a 2nd opinion after our 1st doctor wanted to perform microfracture surgery to repair her knee cartilage defect. Dr. Cavallo seemed more surprised (appalled) than we were when he heard this and confidently recommended OATS surgery which we learned later is the only way to restore damaged hyaline cartilage to the defect for full return to athletic activity. He and his staff treated us respectfully, compassionately, and professionally. The surgery was 100% successful in that, after 9 months, my wife is pain free and eager to get back to tennis. Special thanks to Lori Rossini for handling all our administrative needs with charm and Therapist James Caroleo for being gentle at first, then pushing her forward when she was ready. We were in big trouble when Dr. Cavallo gave us hope and he and his team saved us. Thank you so much Dr. Cavallo, Lori, Eric, Brandy, Velma, Laura, James, Isaac, Monica, and Kevin. You are all awesome people.
I was extremely impressed by how thorough Dr. Cavallo was with his assessment and diagnosis. He was friendly yet not overly talkative and kept focused on his work. The treatment plans (I had knee and shoulder problems) were equally as impressive and the results have been much greater than I ever imagined they would be. After 20 years, I am playing tennis again--without and problems with my shoulder or knees. Never thought that would happen.
Dr. Cavallo is a true professional. Great experience, great expertise and does amazing work. I had shoulder surgery and the recovery has been quick and painless---has completely changed my life. The office staff is professional and courteous. Lori is fantastic---professional, helpful and makes the office visit very efficient.

ALEX GITELMAN, MD REVIEWS
Dr Gitelman is a gift from God. I was referred to Dr. Gitelman for my microdiscectomy surgery. He told me the surgery would alleviate my back and sciatic pain and that is the truth! I was not able to walk, bend, sit, lay down, anything you can imagine. Even eating was a challenge. Now, post surgery, I am fully restored and pain free. I am eternally grateful and thankful for Dr Gitelman and the medical staff who restored me back to health.
Definitely listens to your questions and doesn't push surgery on you unless it's 100 percent needed. Didn't feel rushed in my appointment, explained what was going on with my spine and my options.
Dr Alex Gitelman is wonderful, knowledgeable, kind and caring person. He is smart Doctor. I am very very happy after my spine surgery. I strongly recommend his name to everyone. Good luck.

WILLIAM T. SCHMIDT, MD REVIEWS
I had ankle surgery in June. I found Dr. Schmidt to be an excellent doctor. He was kind caring and really made you feel comfortable with your surgery. His staff was extremely caring and pleasant and it made my experience go so smoothly. I would highly recommend Dr. Schmidt for anyone in need of orthopedic surgery.
Truly empathetic and caring orthopedic physician. As are all west med facilities, they operate like clockwork. You won’t be sitting around for a doctor whose running 30 minutes or on hour late.
