We are delighted to share the news that Dr. Matt Grosso will be joining our practice in September. Currently a Clinical Fellow in Adult Reconstruction at the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia, Dr. Grosso specializes in hip and knee replacement surgery.
Dr. Grosso is a specialist in treating patients with arthritis of the hip and knee, understanding that these conditions can prevent patients from doing their favorite activities and even cause difficulty in performing everyday tasks.
Hip and knee replacement surgeries are some of the most successful surgeries in medicine, with the goal to allow patients to return to the activities that they love, and significantly improve quality of life.
Dr. Grosso has specialty training utilizing the most modern techniques and implants to ensure the best possible outcome for his patients, including:
In addition to surgical training at two of the top medical and orthopedic programs in the nation, Dr. Grosso is passionate about advancing the field of hip and knee replacement through state-of-the-art research. He has led multiple nationally recognized award-winning research studies that have helped guide practice strategies for surgeons throughout the country.
Dr. Grosso will be a great addition to our team. We are excited to welcome him to our practice and look forward to his arrival.
As we all begin to think about re-emerging more fully into our lives, we want to express our gratitude to all our patients. Thank you for your patience and loyalty during the COVID-19 crisis. Throughout this life-altering experience, we have seen so many examples of humanity, grace and community. At AONE, we have worked hard to create a “new normal” orthopedic care experience that meets high quality care and safety office standards.
During this crisis, we limited care to telemedicine visits, restricting office visits for urgent problems. Beginning June 1st, we have added additional hours in our office locations for in-person visits, keeping in mind we must always adhere to social distancing guidelines. We will continue to offer telemedicine visits; however, we recognize that providing the best orthopedic care may require an in-office visit.
There is nothing more important to us than the health of our patients and staff. Over the past few months, we developed practice policies that mirror the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), State Department of Public Health (DPH) and our local hospital and ambulatory surgical center affiliates. Below are some key examples of the practice policy enhancements we have made to provide an environment that supports the prevention of the spread of COVID-19. We are confident our ongoing efforts provide a responsible COVID-19 environment for all those that come to our office. We have been certified by the state for COVID-19 prevention.
We continue to provide quality care for your urgent injuries or chronic orthopedic conditions. We are actively scheduling urgent and elective surgeries for our patients. We are following strict COVID-19 testing protocols for all our patients prior to having surgery.
Please know we are committed to our patients and all those who enter our practice. If you have any questions or concerns about our policies, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to offer additional information and answers to questions that may help you.
Thank you for your trust.
Best wishes for health and safety,
All Physicians, Physician Assistants and Staff

Dr. Berkowitz recently had the pleasure of talking with Kara Sundlun on WFSB Channel 3’s Facebook Live about our introduction of telemedicine appointments. It’s an excellent interview that you can see in full when you click on the video. Kara went through the process of becoming a telemedicine patient through our new AxS Health app and subsequently having a telemedicine appointment with Dr Berkowitz. They discussed how the diagnosis and treatment works very efficiently in these COVID-19 affected times.
Coronavirus Statement.
Please know that there is nothing more important to us than the health of our patients and staff. The recent global outbreak of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has now spread to New England, and we would like to advise everyone to observe all fundamental precautions to limit the contagion as much as possible.
The key first step is to remember the basics in your everyday activities:
If you have any of the following symptoms, please call and reschedule your appointment; we thank you for your compliance in keeping everyone healthy and safe:
Our office locations (Bloomfield, Enfield, Springfield Ma) remain open so we can continue to care for you. We proactively increased our sanitization protocol beyond our already high standards of safety.
If you, or anyone who accompanies you, arrive for your scheduled appointment and are visibly symptomatic, Advanced Orthopedics New England reserves the right to refuse treatment and reschedule you for a later date in order to protect other patients and our staff.
While some visits, such as post-op appointments, need to be done in person, we are now offering telemedicine appointments – a scheduled video chat with your physician. Contact us for more information – to schedule an appointment call 860.728.6740 or via email info@ctortho.com
Thank you in advance for your compliance. Please stay safe and be healthy through the upcoming weeks.
