DR. DELIA MANJONEY comes from a family that includes several physicians—namely, her father, two of her uncles and four siblings. “Having family members as medical professionals gives me a different perspective on things,” she says. She graduated magna cum laude from Roanoke College before earning her medical degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine. She completed her internship and residency in pediatrics at the University of Texas Children’s Medical Center and a partial fellowship in pediatric cardiology at UCSF before she made the decision to go into ophthalmology. Ophthalmology, she says, is a “nice blend of patient contact, strong interpersonal relationships and surgery,” adding that “it is very rewarding to be able to restore someone’s vision.”
Dr. Manjoney practiced comprehensive ophthalmology with her father for 15 years before going into solo practice. She specializes in cataract surgery, treatment of glaucoma and general ophthalmology. About three years ago, she began to offer cosmetic procedures because some of her female patients were expressing a desire to look younger and she welcomed the opportunity to learn a new application for Botox®–a treatment that ophthalmologists have been using for more than 20 years for other disorders of and near the eyes.
Whatever treatment and surgery she does, Dr. Manjoney makes sure that her patients understand what they can expect after the procedure because nothing in medicine is going to be perfect. “It’s a compromise,” she says. “It’s not going to be like when they were 16, but it’s going to be better than their current situation.” She is also forthright with her staff. “I stress to my staff to treat patients the way that they would want to be treated,” she says. “It doesn’t matter if a doctor’s skills are great. If a patient isn’t treated well, he or she won’t come back. This is really a team effort.”

I'm glad to see no. 7 is Dr Cohen. In my opinion he's no 1 but I have no way of judging the top 6. He operated on me in 2001 because I was high risk of getting colon cancer it was felt. I'm still here 11 years later doc! I'm fine w/respect to the surgery but do have an issue with a lumbar bone out of place and am dealing w/that now. Things are much better since I had the two Epidural shots. I get the third tommorow. You go Dr. Cohen!

Dr. Gary Price has gone above and beyond his call of duty . I have had several procedures done by him and wouldn't think of going to anyone else. He has done a complete face lift on me. Several laser treatments and a couple of touch up mini lifts. I'm considering having liposuction by him. If anyone out there is considering cosmetic work done you should definitely have a consultation with Gary Price.
A grateful and satisfied patient

Dr Gerstenhaber is the BEST Pulmonary
Doctor in the New Haven area. He is extremely smart and knows more than his specialty.
He is kind and compassionate and has a wonderful way of appropriately infusing humor into what can be
a tense situation...
I commend him for his tremendous work ethic and feel so grateful that he cared for each of my parents and now myself.
I can only say thank you for always being so available to us.

Dr. Neil Floch and the staff of Fairfield County Bariatrics have afforded me a second chance for a more active and healthier life. In June of 2011 at 68 yrs old Dr. Neil performed RNY Gastric Bypass at Norwalk Hospital and as of 10 mos post op I have lost 102 lbs and gain a second chance to enjoy life more fully. I left the hospital completely offm of the three type 2 diabetes meds I had been on for 12+ years. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Floch and Fairfield County Bariatrics and fully endorse the excellent level of care that I experienced both pre and post op and would urge anyone considering wls to them.
