DR. BROOK M. SEELEY of the Connecticut Ear, Nose & Throat Associates, PC, and Connecticut Facial Plastic Surgery, has seen a shift in his field toward more specialization. “In the past, the specialty may have been ear, nose and throat,” he says. “Within that discipline, there are specialists who focus on subspecialties, such as the ears or voice.” Dr. Seeley has taken this path: After completing his otolaryngology training at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic Foundation, he completed fellowships at the University of California, San Francisco in both facial plastic surgery and hair restoration surgery. His practice focuses on sinus and nasal problems, functional and cosmetic nasal surgery, and procedures for rejuvenating the aging face. The way Dr. Seeley delivers his care to patients with those concerns is of utmost importance to him: “With my patients, I adhere to the philosophy of treating each of them the way I would like to be treated,” he says. He recalls that one of his medical school deans once told him that he should always be willing to spend the extra time with patients. “If I listen well to my patients, they really do tell me exactly what’s wrong with them,” he says. Dr. Seeley is also finding that today’s patients are more educated about medical and cosmetic issues, and that they come to him with more information and more questions than they did in the past. “I think it’s a positive that they come in with questions; that shows that they are taking a more active role in their health care. It’s gratifying for me to work with patients who take the initiative. There are so many exciting new procedures these days, I spend a great deal of time guiding patients in their decisions.” In working with patients in that manner, Dr. Seeley emphasizes that “the greatest measure of satisfaction we feel is that they are so willing to recommend our services to their families and friends.”

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! EDITOR'S NOTE: Doctors are listed in alphabetical order.

I had a breast reduction last year, Dr. Smith performed the surgery. I am so happy with the results he is a great physician and surgeon he takes the extra time to ask you what your expectations are and is also very open about what to expect after surgery.

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.
