Dr. Amanda Fantry was interviewed by Channel 3 for their “Better Connecticut” segment. In the interview Dr. Fantry speaks about common foot and ankle injuries that occur as a result of sports related activities and slip and fall injuries. Also highlighted in the segment is Dr. Fantry’s work at the orthopedic urgent care clinic in Bloomfield. A mother walks into the clinic with her son, who fell and sustained an injury to his hand. The urgent care facility offers a full range of services and treatment capabilities. Dr. Fantry is able to access digital x-rays of her patient immediately for review. After diagnosing her young patient, he is fitted with a brace and scheduled for a follow-up visit. The patient’s mother is grateful for the quality care her son received and for the fact that she did not have to miss any work but could simply walk into the office at her convenience.

We are moving out of our Hartford office on October 1^st.  We recognize it can be difficult for our patients to physically get in to the office at St Francis Hospital.

We have a total of four offices that our patients can choose from: Bloomfield, Enfield, Rocky Hill and Springfield, Mass. For more information about our locations and office hours please visit our Contact page, or simply call our main line for information 860.728.6740.

Although shoulder joint replacement surgery is less common than knee or hip replacements, it is just as successful in relieving joint pain. Shoulder replacement surgery was first performed in the United States in the 1950s to treat severe shoulder fractures. Over the years, shoulder joint replacement has come to be used for many other painful conditions of the shoulder, such as different forms of arthritis.

Shoulder replacement surgery is highly technical. There are several different types of shoulder replacements; Hemiarthroplasty, Total Shoulder Replacement and Reverse Total Shoulder replacement. Dr. Wasserlauf will evaluate you and your specific situation, health history and goals before recommending a specific procedure type and choosing the appropriate implant.
