Dr. Delos at ONS Greenwich CT is a wonderful surgeon, his staff is always very helpful and kind. Not only has he taken care of my recovery after surgery but he also took time and listen to my concerns at every following appointment. I highly recommend him. Thank you !
Dr. Clain
The most amazing experience, my daughter had ankle surgery, her recovery was great , she would often ask me “ are you sure I had surgery, I have minimal pain” we love Dr.Clain. (Anonymous 5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Clain
Dr. Clain has felt like a medical partner in my care. I have several competing ankle issues after years of sports (unstable ankle joint, plantar fasciitis, turf toe, spiral tear of a support ligament, and too many twisted ankles to count) that Dr. Clain has triaged and addressed. After a successful ankle reconstruction, Bronstrom Procedure, Dr. Clain has been excellent in explaining the prior injuries, the current impact, and potential beneficial treatments. Overall, it has been a pleasure to work with an excellent surgeon trying to understand my ankle injuries, activity goals, with sensible and conservative surgical advice. I would highly recommend Dr. Clain for your complicated foot issues. Nothing is more important then pain free feet. 6 months ago, I thought it wasn’t possible—today I’m enjoying skiing and platform tennis and looking forward to Spring tennis.(5 Star Review on Healthgrades from K.D.)
Dr. Vadasdi
I recently underwent rotator cuff surgery performed by Dr. Vadasdi and have to say that I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. During our initial meetings the doctor discussed in detail the specifics of my injury and the various options open to me. She was very easy to talk to and explained everything clearly. Once I decided that surgery was the best way forward, Dr. Vadasdi and her team did the rest without a hitch. Following a successful surgery, I was given detailed post-op instructions which were a great help in controlling the pain. As a result I experienced very little pain at all and was up on my feet within a couple of days. Next week I begin physical therapy, so now it’s my turn to do the work. I’m just thankful that Dr. Vadasdi has given me the best possible start on my road to recovery. (5 Star Google Review from B.H.)
Dr. Wei
Dr Wei is a terrific orthopedic surgeon! He is very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to properly treat my wrist injury. ( I saw 2 previous orthopedics who did not!) Dr. Wei has a very calm and professional demeanor and does a great job of thoroughly answering all my questions and explaining in detail all procedures. My surgery went smoothly, and a bonus- his stitching is so neat you wouldn’t even know I had a procedure. To anyone who has a hand or wrist injury- Dr Wei is your best choice! (5 Star Google Review from A.N.)
Dr. Delos
We have had the most amazing experience with this group! My son took a bad fall in the winter and we were in need of immediate care for his knee. ONS got us in same day to be seen. We were greeted by friendly and caring staff and seen by Dr. Delos. They have been absolutely amazing. They made the process so easy for us to set up all necessary tests that needed to be done. Once we determined surgery was necessary, they had him in within 5 days to fix him up. I would recommend this group to anyone In need of an orthopedic group. Amazing experience and will go back if I ever need any care in the future! Thank you ONS! (5 Star Review on Google from J.V.)
Dr. Delos
Dr. Delos is hands down the best physician I’ve ever had. When you first meet him it’s evident that he’s a stand out in his field, but what solidified him as such a great surgeon for me is that he didn’t rush me under the knife. I had a complex, multi faceted knee injury and by age 29 had already had one failed surgical attempt (performed by a different surgeon). He took the time to truly listen to my symptoms as well as made sure he understood what my goals of surgery were. We took it slow and steady to ensure that this surgery would be my last and actually fix my issues. He also has great bed side manner and kept me calm when my day of surgery jitters popped up. I’m about 7 months out from surgery and while I still have more PT to do, my knee feels stable for the first time in years. I drive over an hour to see Dr. Delos and it is so worth it! (5 Star Review on Google from E.M.)
Dr. Wei
Dr. Wei and his team were fantastic! He got me in right away and scheduled me for surgery immediately. He personally followed up with me after to see how I was recovering. Highly recommend! (5 Star Review on Google from W.B.)
ONS
My husband and I have used ONS for three separate problems. Doctors, PA’s and all staff are very professional. Their orthopedic urgent care service is excellent!! (5 Star Review on Google from A.W-H)
Dr. Vitale
Dr. Vitale and the whole ONS team was amazing. Coordinating my surgery was easy and Dr. Vitale is on time, kind, patient and thorough. The results from my surgery far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him. (5 Star Review on Google from H.K.)
Dr. Delos
ONS, and specifically, Dr. Delos, were wonderful to work with. The facility is beautiful, staff extremely pleasant and the whole process was a positive one. Dr. Delos spent a great deal of time with my daughter and I and was very clear in explaining to us her diagnosis. He was caring, confident and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend both Dr. Delos and ONS. (5 Star Review on Google from V.D.)
Dr. Delos
Phenawesomal experience. Dr Delos, Allison M and the incredible P/T team, and the whole organization got me through the first major surgery of my life, a challenging complete tear of my ACL. I felt I was in good hands the entire time. (5 Star Review on Google from A.H.)
Dr. Sethi
I suffered with chronic shoulder pain for 5 years before deciding to have rotator cuff surgery in 2021. My MRI showed that my right rotator cuff was fully torn (which created problems with my bicep as well). After meeting with Dr. Sethi, he knew exactly what needed to be done and he did not rush me. He took his time explaining why I needed arthroscopic surgery. He formulated a plan and I felt safe with his expertise. I am so lucky I put my trust in him and his team. Its been 8 months post surgery and I feel great. No more chronic daily pain. He monitors you for a year after surgery. He encourages you to do different exercises to improve range of motion. I recommend Dr. Sethi and his team 100 percent. They are truly experts (on top of their game) at what they do!!! I wish I did my surgery sooner so I could have had a better quality of life sooner. Don’t suffer go see Dr. Sethi. (5 Star Review on Google from E.C.)
Dr. Sethi
I had a great experience, staff very courteous and Dr Sethi was amazing! I strongly recommend him. (5 Star Review on Google from X.W.)
Dr. Wei
Highly competent care from a caring person who explained to both me and my 9 year old son what was the problem, the solution and the care program. We were very fortunate to hook up with Dr. Wei following an accident to my son’s arm and an ER visit that misdiagnosed the injury. Dr Wei immediately recognized the injury and was able to easily show us the injury in the x-rays.(5 Star Google Review from R.K.)
Dr. Heftler
It is my pleasure to write this review of Dr. Jeffrey Heftler who cared for me this winter when I suffered from a L-5 S-1 herniated disc. I was still recovering from recent rotator cuff surgery, but I have to say that the pain from the herniated disc was much more severe and often woke me up several times a night. Dr. Heftler first tried conservative measures such as oral steroids, muscle relaxants, as well as local trigger point injections, but we quickly progressed to an epidural steroid injection. This relieved 80% of my pain and allowed me to sleep at night. Through the toughest times, Dr. Heftler always responded rapidly to my calls and I could easily get a quick follow up appointment. He treated me with compassion and provided detailed explanations of treatment plan options and we decided what to do together. His down to earth demeanor and sense of humor reassured me and I left his office with an optimistic outlook. I only needed one of a potential three epidural injections and with stretching, self PT and most of all patience, I am now pain free. I waited to write this review until I could play 2 consecutive rounds of golf in Florida- 3 months after my initial MRI. Jeff is a great clinician and I highly recommend him as a physiatrist to anyone who wants to avoid back surgery after a significant herniated disc. After reviewing my MRI his back surgeon partner felt that I would probably require a microdiscetomy. Thanks so much Dr. Heftler for helping me beat the odds.(5 Star Review on Google from B.P., MD)
Dr. Greene
Had a great experience with Dr. Greene when I was experiencing some complications with my left hip. His staff and team were very thorough and his discussion of my plan was very helpful. I felt very well cared for. (5 Star Review on Google from J.G.)
Dr. Wei
I came to see Dr. Wei after a fall where I sprained my wrist and fingers. My injury necessitated more than one visit to address my healing. Dr. Wei was attentive to my symptoms and concerns. I felt I fully understood my injury and options for treatment. I’m confident I’m on my way to complete recovery. I would recommend Dr. Wei without hesitation. (5 Star Review on Google)
Dr. Vitale
Dr. Vitale is a highly talented, wonderful orthopaedic surgeon (Hand, Wrist & Elbow)— and a kind person. He is very honest and open about treatment options; he patiently answered all my questions pre- and post-op. I received the best care from Dr. Vitale and his team; Tara Friedler, my physical therapist, was outstanding. 5-stars aren’t enough for my recommendation. Thank you, Dr. Vitale and ONS! (5 Star Review on Google from L.R.)
Dr. Wei
After looking at the other reviews for Dr. Wei, one more thing to add is that he is consistent. My son received the same exemplary care for his broken wrist that Dr. Wei gives to all of his patients. He is definitely one of the best doctors I have been to (and as the mother of three active boys, I have seen my share). Thank you Dr. Wei for giving the same great care and compassion to my son that you give to all of your patients! (5 Star review on Google from R.G.)
Dr. Kowalsky
Dr. Kowalsky repaired my shoulder after a catastrophic injury requiring the latest of techniques and devices. My shoulder is functioning at 100%! I did my due diligence of the many qualified surgeons in our are and so pleased I chose Dr Kowalsky. (5 Star Review on Yelp from M.M.)
Dr. Kowalsky
My son has been a patient of Dr. Kowalsky’s for over 2 years now, and we have always been happy with the care provided by Dr. K & the ONS staff. He always takes the time to answer all of my questions, and provides a complete & effective treatment plan. (5 Star Review on Google from L.D.)

We have worked with Dr. Sethi and Dr. Greene … they are excellent. The entire organization, from front desk to the doctors to PT, is very professional. ONS is great! (5 Star Review on Google from S.G.)

Dr Kessel is a well-rounded doctor. She is caring and gentle and educated and I am happy to have her treating me. Her nurses are also amazing and I am lucky to call them my team! Thank you. (5 Star Review on Google from C.P.)

“Dr. Vitale is the best!!! It is not only his competence as a surgeon. More important is his careful and PATIENT communication. Having surgery on one’s hand requires some real consideration; Dr. Vitale gives one the time and information to make the decision. (5 Star Review on Google from D.B.)

I had a very pleasurable experience from day one with Dr. Delos in dealing with my knee pain and eventually replacement. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Cunningham
Truly excellent, personable and professional attention; Dr. Cunningham has a very pleasant and straightforward style, listens carefully and targets solutions and treatments very expeditiously.(5 Star Review from C.B.)
Dr. Delos
My son had surgery to correct a dislocated patella and ligament. Dr. Delos was excellent with him. He provide easy to understand explanation of the injury, surgery, post op and rehab. The surger went beautifully and Dr. Delos checked in with my son several times in the week following surgery. Once rehab started, he provided clear instructions and followed up until he was completely satisfied my son was 100%. I highly recomment Dr. Delos. Also, they surgery center ONS uses in Stamford, CT is almost brand new and it was super clean and friendly, even in the middle of Covid. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from A.G.)
Dr. Kowalsky
Dr. Kowalsky is wonderful. He and his staff are always available. I have been told by several physicians that having an excellent surgeon played a major role in my speedy recovery.(5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Wei
Dr. Wei has been a wonderful and caring surgeon. He is very knowledgeable and skilled and I would not hesitate in recommending him. I had a post-surgery infection arise and he made sure I got the proper care and the infection resolved. ONS is also a great place if you have an orthopedic or neurosurgical issue. They have a great process for scheduling and follow up care and it is evident that the leadership of the practice is keen on making the patient experience as pleasant as possible. (5 Star Review on Google from M.K.)
Dr. Wei
One of the best experiences I’ve had! My first broken bone and Dr. Wei helped me feel so at ease. Very grateful I was referred to him! (5 Star Google Review from D.W.)
An ONS Experience
Amazing services and staff. I never imagined that major surgery could be done at such a high level of excellence. I was always treated with kindness, compassion and respect. My recovery has been remarkable and these results mean I will be better than ever. I highly recommended this practice. (5 Star Google Rating from E.T.)
Dr. Wei
Dr. Wei is very kind and warm. He made my daughter feel very comfortable during both of our visits. His staff are wonderful as well. (5 Star Google Rating from K.G.)
Dr. Greene
I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Greene. I am a professional tennis player and had a literal and figurative pain in the butt when I played. Other symptoms included recurrent groin “pulls” and glute strains and deep achy pain across my low back. No one could properly diagnose the underlying cause until I saw Dr. Greene, who diagnosed me with labral tears and impingement (FAI) in both hips. My symptoms did not perfectly align with those typical of FAI, but he believed this to be the cause and we decided it was best to operate given my urgency to get back to the tour. He basically did a rim trim, osteoplasty and labral repair on both sides (6 weeks apart). This decision had me so anxious, and now I sit here 3.5 months after my second hip surgery, Indian-style… sorry, it’s 2020… “cross-legged” with no pain whatsoever! I am back to playing tennis and weight training – already doing things I previously could not. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to use Dr. Greene over other prominent surgeons in NYC and CT. He is by far the most trustworthy, communicative, personable (and probably most skilled) of the four surgeons I saw… he also has a great sense of humor, despite being a Falcons fan. (5 Star Review on Google from S.K.)
Dr. Greene
I am a Director of Critical Care and a seasoned RN as well. Dr. Green is top notch- I send everyone to him that I can. He is humane, highly comprehensible, takes his time, explains things well and is clinically excellent! The surgery center he uses in Stamford was excellent, clean, great staff and everyone was in the same page! (5 Star Review on Google from L.J-K.)
Dr. Cunningham
As always, phenomenal service and care from the time I walked up through the time I walked out – front desk staff, doctor, x-ray tech, billing. Dr. Cunningham is transparent, informative and patient. Overall I couldn’t be happier. 5 Star Google Review from A.E.)
ONS
I only go to ONS for the very best of medical care. The doctors are superb, the facilities spotless, and the staff is helpful and courteous. It is the only practice I will go to for orthopaedic surgery or treatment. Well done! (5 Star Review on Google from A. R-P)
Dr. Wei
In a time when HIPAA can make healthcare very sterile, Dr. David Wei of ONS in Greenwich is a breath of fresh air. The staff at ONS and his personal attention to my wound and subsequent recovery was excellent. I was very confident in his treatment and very much appreciated his bedside manner. I was completely comfortable in his care, and would highly recommend him and ONS. Thank you! (5 Star Google Review from B.U.)
Dr. Wei: Trigger Finger
I was referred to Dr., Wei for treatment of 3 trigger fingers by a family friend who is an O.T., specializing in Hands. Dr. Wei is warm and friendly while also professional. I particularly appreciated the fact that he explained all the treatment options to me, but when I told him I wanted to go directly to surgery because of my past experience with another trigger finger, he agreed. Dr. We recommended local anesthesia because of faster recovery associated with that. It worked very well; within a couple of weeks I had full recovery of movement. I highly recommend Dr. Wei. (5 Star Review on Google from M.)
Dr. Kowalsky: AC Surgery
I had a sports injury and needed AC joint surgery to repair my shoulder. After several consultations including HSS, I chose Dr. Kowalsky due to his experience, knowledge, and professional bedside manner. The outpatient ambulatory surgical center in Stamford was beautiful, extremely clean, and staffed with a professional staff of doctors and nurses. The ASC staff made me feel safe and comfortable during my pre/post-surgery time with them. Thanks to Dr. Kowalsky, my shoulder surgery had very little pain with no complications. I was back in the gym lifting weights within 8 weeks. (5 Star Google Review from G.B.)
Dr. Delos
I had both knees replaced by Dr Delos in June and was back to work full time in 3 weeks. By 6 weeks i was walking like a track star and nobody could tell that i ever had surgery. If you are considering a knee replacement run, don’t walk, and go see Dr Delos! (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from B.H.)
Dr. Wei
Dr Wei quickly diagnosed my ligament issue, scheduled surgery, and provided excellent post surgery follow-up. He explained everything clearly and recovery was as expected. He is a consummate professional.(5 Star Review on Healthgrades)

Dr. D.H.Wei, is a wonderful caring doctor. He is easy to talk too and very knowledgeable. I would recommend him for any surgery for the hand or arm. (5 Star Review on Google from A.S.)
Dr. Delos: Biceps Surgery
Dr. Delos operated on my biceps as I ruptured it at the elbow. From initial consult to surgery to follow-ups, everything went fantastic. He explained everything, appointments were quick and easy and I couldn’t have been any happier. I would highly recommend him!!! (Five Star Review on Healthgrades from JA)
Dr. Delos: Shoulder Surgery
Dr. Delos is a great doctor. He performed surgery on my shoulder after massive injuries. There was no pain, and it healed very well. He takes his time when he talks to you and answers all questions. I am very pleased with his work. (Five Star Review on Healthgrades from L.B)
Dr. Wei
Dr. Wei is so professional and very detail oriented. I can’t say enough good things about him. He has treated me for a variety of issues and each time my experience is the same. I trust him 100%. (5 Star Review on Google from J.S.)
Dr. Sethi: Rotator Cuff Repair
I first met Dr. Sethi in early 2017 after injuring my right shoulder and having sleep disruption. The ONS MRI DX was a minor tear of the rotator cuff and labrum plus a bone spur. I was worried about missing time from a new job I’d started and Dr. Sethi told me I could give PT a try and he administered a cortisone shot for the inflammation and pain. No push towards surgery whatsoever. He examined me physically, showed me the X-Rays and MRI images, walked me through what was going on and gave me all the facts and info I needed to make my decision. In about 8 weeks I was done with PT and sleeping normally. Fast forward to March 2019 and I reinjured my shoulder, this time severely. The DX was a major tear but again, Dr. Sethi didn’t push surgery. He did say no to another cortisone shot in case surgery became necessary but once again said I could try PT to avoid the downtime. In a few weeks of struggling through PT and sliding backwards we agreed on surgery and on June 5th Dr. Sethi did his thing. When I woke up and met with Dr. Sethi he told me the tears were much worse than the MRI had revealed but the good news was that my tissue was viable at the surgical margins making the repair easier and adding to his optimism that I’d have a good recovery. He had previously warned me “You’re going to hate me for the 3 months following surgery.” LOL – No but I quickly understood what he meant after the nerve blocker wore off, pain, discomfort, you’re one handed, strapped to an ice cooling machine (definitely a great help). Make no mistake. It’s horrible. Sleep? Forget it but that was already an issue for months and you’re wearing a sling 24 hours a day for weeks so – yeah, it sucked. Dr. Sethi’s pain management team and his PA’s were in constant touch with me. At my first follow up Dr. Sethi was his usual optimistic and articulate self, showing me the pre and post-surgical images from the surgical camera. WOW! My rotator cuff was just shredded. Then I could see the repaired view, what a difference. It was time for PT and he was pleased with my progress to this early stage. Fast forward and Dr. Sethi just “discharged” me, I’m close to fully recovered almost 9 months post-op. Sleep returned by October of 2019, that was for me the worst part of the experience but within normal boundaries. I worked hard at PT and for this part of the recovery, Range of Motion and Strength gains came steadily week after week. I did the work and got the results. I’m now in the gym 3-4 times a week, do my Home Exercise program plus regular cardio and sensible lifting and have zero pain. Dr. Sethi is an acknowledged leader in his field. He’s a straight talker, a funny and personable guy and he exudes quiet confidence while simultaneously listening to whatever feedback or questions you may have. I can’t say enough about him and his team at ONS. People warned me about surgery and I know some friends who didn’t have the same results as me. My days of throwing javelin and playing rugby are behind me but my every day living is pain free, sleeping like a baby and able to reach and lift and put on or take off my jackets, hit the gym with confidence and more. Paul is a great surgeon and he cares, that’s obvious. Thank you Dr. Sethi! (5 Star Review on Google from S.L.)
Dr. Sethi: Torn Labrum
I was fortunate enough to be connected to Dr. Sethi when I started experiencing shoulder issues. He diagnosed the issue immediately and tried the least invasive approach to attempt to rectify. After some time it was clear I would need surgery to repair a torn labrum. I can attest to the fact that Dr. Sethi is the consummate professional, very personable, and compassionate. If he is treating you for orthopedic issues you are in good hands! Thank you Dr. Sethi! (Five Star Review on Goolge from C)
Dr. Wei
Patched my son’s hand up with care and compassion! What a wonderful doctor! (5 Star Review on Google from K.N.)
Dr. Sethi
Absolutely thrilled with my surgery and PT experience. Wonderful communication and results!(5 Star Review on Healthgrades from K.B.)
Dr. Vitale: Hand Pain
Dr. Vitale is fantastic. I have had pain in a particular spot on my hand for years and have seen several doctors about it, with little guidance as to what was wrong. Dr. Vitale was able to quickly diagnose the issue and treat it accordingly. I am very grateful for the effective treatment and pleasant experience at ONS. (5 Star Google Review from G.G.)
Dr. Cantlon
We cannot thank Dr.Cantlon enough for his care and expertise in helping our young son recover from a broken arm. From the moment he came to the ER to set the bones, to the 3 cast changes and the appointments along the way he was reassuring, attentive, calm and we felt like we were in the best hands. The ONS front desk staff, nurses and Xray tech were also so kind each and every time ….even when my son would cry from fear. I highly recommend ONS and Dr.Cantlon. We are so grateful our son healed so well and it back to running around! (5 Star Review on Google from C. G.)
Dr. Cantlon
A careful, thoughtful doctor, whose excellent treatment skills are matched by his empathetic manner. Though still young, he possesses the clinical knowledge to treat the body, and the emotional knowledge to treat the patient as a whole. (5 Star Review on Google)
Dr. Miller
I had ongoing shoulder problems and received excellent care from Dr. Miller over 1 1/2 yrs. Finally, after relapses, I had arthroscopic surgery. Excellent results and it is wonderful to be pain-free! All office staff, nurses and radiology staff also are great. (5 Star Review on Yelp from S.P. of Bethel, CT)
Dr. Sethi: Shoulder Surgery
I am very grateful to Dr. Paul Sethi for restoring me to a pain-free life. My torn up shoulder constantly ached, woke me up at night, and limited all sorts of physical endeavors with that arm. 3 short months later, I have a fully restored range of motion with almost no lingering pain, and I’m sure with a few more months of strengthening PT I will be better than new. I cannot say enough about his approach, his thorough explanations throughout the process outlining my treatment options, and his skill as a surgeon. (Make sure to search YouTube for some of his presentations on the latest techniques in shoulder surgery.) Thanks again to Dr. Sethi and the entire support staff at ONS for an outcome that is better than I could have hoped for! (5 Star Review on Google from K.B.)
Dr. Kavanagh: Knee and Hip Replacements
I am 85 years old and have had 2 total knee replacements, one in August 2006 and one in July 2011. I am still playing tennis actively and when on the court I am not even aware of my knees. I have no pain or discomfit either playing tennis or walking stairs. My only regret is that I did not have Dr. Kavanagh fix my knees 10 years sooner. My wife had a hip replaced and she is also fine. If you need either a knee or hip replaced, I heartily recommend Dr. Kavanagh.(5 Star Review from B.T.)
Dr. Wei: Ligament Transplant
Dr. Wei was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough assessing my hand before “we” decided on surgery. He helped me weigh all the pros, cons, alternatives and helped make the final recommendation. I am sooo glad I had the surgery because I am still very active and I was able to bounce back from 2 full ligament transplants in my right dominant hand. I was back playing hockey within 6 weeks with the help of a strong Physical Therapist who helped me stay ahead of my post op plan. I would highly recommend Dr. Wei as this was my first surgery ever (50 years old) and not once did he push me one way or the other, we weighed all the risks which made me feel very confident in our treatment plan. Thanks again for all your help Dr. Wei, I am off to my 10 pm hockey game tonight, we are in first place……maybe because I am back helping the team!!!(5 Star Review on Healthgrades from D.)
Dr. Kowalsky: Shoulder Surgery
I am very pleased with the outcome of my shoulder surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Kowalsky he is very friendly and professional.(5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Kowalsky: Torn Meniscus
This past May, Dr. Kowalsky performed arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus and to address two other issues in the same knee. Shortly after the surgery, I was able to travel on a long-planned vacation and to pick up on my marathon training when I returned. On Sunday, November 3, 2019 I completed my 32nd consecutive NYC Marathon with not one bit of pain. Thank you, Dr. Kowalsky!(5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Kowalsky: Ruptured Patella Tendon
Dr. Kowalsky is above and beyond a great surgeon. He has the knowledge, skill, and experience to back it up. Dr. Kowalsky truly cares about his patients and that is why I am writing this review. I ruptured my patella tendon falling down the stairs. After a visit to the ER, Dr. Kowalsky saw me the very next day due to the severity of the injury. In the office, Dr. Kolwasky was calm and reassuring as I panicked that my life would never be the same. I knew after that visit I would be ok. Dr. Kowalsky cleared his schedule and made room for my surgery within a week. He is beyond dedicated to his profession. He called multiple times to check up on me and he is genuinely concerned about getting my knee back to normal, pre-accident. I’m almost 4 months from surgery and I am having great progress. He is a fascinating person, he does so much work in the community and with local sports teams. I regret I had to meet him under these circumstances, but so fortunate that I chose him to perform my surgery. (5 Star Review on Google from F.P.)
Dr. Delos: Knee Osteoarthritis
Dr. Delos is wonderful. I went to him as a second opinion about my knee osteoarthritis. After that meeting, I knew I needed to have him do my surgery. I’m only 4 weeks out, but there is a positive difference already. I was scared to death if the total knee replacement and he made it so much easier for me. Dr Delos takes pride in his work which shows in the results, thank you Dr. Delos! (Comment on Instagram from E.F.)
Dr. Wei
Dr. Wei is the best. He is a warm and kind individual and clearly knows what he is doing. He diagnosed and took care of my problem quickly and, if you have to see a doctor for hand problems, I recommend him highly. (5 Star Review on Google from H.J.)
Dr. Delos: Shoulder Surgery
Dr Delos is the best! He performed surgery on my shoulder after a car accident and it’s 100% better! No pain and absolutely no problems after the surgery. He recently did a total knee replacement for me. I was in excruciating pain before the surgery. He was so compassionate with me. I could truly feel he felt my pain and wanted it to go away. He wanted the best for me and that’s exactly what he did for me! I’m completely pain free, have absolutely no problems with my knee now. He gave me my freedom back. He is a wonderful, caring, skilful, and knowledgeable doctor. I can’t say enough about him! I highly recommend him, as I said, he is the Best!(5 Star Review on Healthgrades from E.O.)
An ONS Experience
ONS is the Best! The doctors are compassionate, caring, skilled and knowledgeable, the nurses and staff are great, they have taken the very best care of me, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The doctors listen to you, answer all of your questions and take time with you. They want the best for you and that’s what you get, I can’t say enough about ONS, highly recommend! (5 Star Review on Yelp from E.O.)
Dr.Delos
Dr. Delos is an excellent person and doctor. Always on time for appointments. Awesome bedside manners. I never felt rushed. Always took the time to answer all of my questions. The facilities and staff were equally professional.(5 Star Review on Healthgrades) September 11, 2019
Dr. Delos, Tanya K., DPT and the ONS Team
The ONS surgical team, physical therapy team and admin are all amazing. I had the good fortune of working closely with Dr. Delos and Tanya K., DPT (Greenwich PT Director), and they, and all on their team/staff were kind, knowledgeable, professional, efficient – – and it is clear they genuinely care about their patients and their improvement! They also give you the confidence and support you need to get through your recovery. From the moment you hobble in the door to the moment you walk out (better than ever), each member of the team makes a point get to know and be there for each individual client – particularly, so if you have a question or any need anything at all, someone on the team can assist you promptly/safely. They definitely go above and beyond in their patient care and it shows in the results! I never expected my recovery to be so pleasant and faster than expected! (5 Star Review on Google from S.S.)
Dr. Sethi: Total Shoulder Replacement
What an all star! I had a lot of shoulder trauma in my youth requiring 4 extensive surgeries in the 80s and 90s. All of these repairs led me to a serious arthritic situation requiring me to have a total shoulder replacement in my 50s. After careful review, I selected Paul Sethi at ONS. A great choice! The operation took place in their Stamford medical suite so no risk from all of those infectious transmissions that can show up in the hospital. Paul was extremely thorough in his diagnostic prep and model building leading to a very smooth procedure. What blew me away was that I NEVER had any pain after the operation! My rehab was smooth and my therapist says he has never seen such a phenomenal total shoulder replacement in terms of range of motion, fast recovery and overall strength. The frequent office follow ups were reassuring and conservative. I could not be happier and recommend Dr. Sethi wholeheartedly!!! This guy is a winner. (5 Star Review on Google from J.B.)
Dr. Sethi: Shoulder Surgery
I was referred to Dr. Sethi from a friend who had done surgeries on both of their shoulders with him and had great results. I had issues with my shoulder for 10 years and Dr. Sethi almost immediately diagnosed the issue that no other doctor had done. After trying intensive physical therapy, we decided surgery was necessary. Neither my husband nor I had had surgery before so we were nervous until we talked with Dr. Sethi. His successful history combined with his bedside manners made me confident even before going into surgery. I had surgery the day before Thanksgiving and Dr. Sethi called even on Thanksgiving day to check on me. I could tell he really cared about his patients with how he treated me. He called multiple times in the first couple of weeks to check in. After months of physical therapy and follow up appointments I have officially completed my recovery from surgery and only need to do limited exercises at home. I never thought I could be pain free but today I can say that I have no pain in my shoulder, and it even helped my other shoulder and neck. My advice to anyone with shoulder issues, go to Sethi. He won’t force surgery on you and will actually try other methods to avoid it. He knows what is best for his patients as he’s seen so many cases over his extensive career. If I could give him more than 5/5 stars, I would. (5 Star Review on Google from G.D. 8/2019)
Dr. Kowalsky: Tennis Elbow
After receiving no relief from a major NYC Ortho hospital for a severe case of tennis elbow, I found Dr. Kowalsky. He assured me that even at my age, 66, there was no reason that my tennis days had to be behind me. He performed surgery flawlessly, and I was back on the tennis court in 3 months, playing some of the best tennis I have played in years. I will be eternally grateful to him for not putting me out to pasture and I will continue to recommend him to others. He is kind, caring and an excellent surgeon. Simply the best!(5 Star Review on Healthgrades from K.K.)
Dr. Delos:
Dr. Delos explained my displaced meniscus injury and his recommendations for fixing it so that I could get back to doing what I could before. He was very clear and very positive in his description, diagnosis and surgery to be done. I had been suffering for over a month and received several other recommendations from another doctor. I felt confident that the surgery he recommended would fix the issue. He also was able to get me in for the surgery within the week. Arthroscopic surgery went well, physical therapy went well and I was able to walk without a cane and drive in 2 weeks. No pain after surgery. It was important to get to PT quickly after surgery and to follow the plan outlined by the therapist. I would recommend Dr. Delos for a knee injury. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades, Aug. 6, 2019)
Dr. Delos: Tendon Repair
Dr. Delos was fantastic. He made an expert repair on my torn tendon and the follow up and follow through with the Dr. and with ONS PT was outstanding. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from J.M. Jul 30, 2019)
Dr. Delos: Dislocated Kneecap
Dr. Delos changed my life! I went into my first appointment not knowing what to expect, and truly scared. He was kind, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable of my situation. I went in thinking my knee was dislocating, and after ten minutes of talking and examining my knee, Dr. Delos explained to me that my knee cap was dislocating, making it looser each time. I had surgery a month later and now I feel so much more secure! I can do everyday activities with ease, whereas before I was scared to even walk. I highly recommend Dr. Delos! He was amazing in every way!(5 Star Review on Healthgrades from B.A., Jul 2, 2019 )
Dr. Sethi: No Opioids
Dear Dr. Sethi, It has been nearly a year since my surgery and I am very grateful that you were my surgeon. The outcome is exactly as I had hoped for and as you predicted. I have nearly full range of motion, no pain or discomfort, my strength is back and continues to improve. I was initially skeptical when you prescribed no opioids after surgery, but I quickly understood they were unnecessary because extra strength Tylenol was all that I needed. The 41/2 hour drive to your office and the hospital was easily worth it. I very much appreciate being accepted as a patient, as well as your professionalism, your friendliness, courtesy, candor and the exemplary treatment I received in all respects. I am a major fan. Sincerely, E.W., Jr.
Dr. Delos: Knee Replacement
Dr. Delos is an amazing man and surgeon. I had concerns about another physician that I was going to and heard great things about Dr. Delos, so I went to him for a second opinion. He was completely straight with me and reviewed everything with me. I didn’t feel the least bit rushed. He took all the time that I needed. I walked away knowing what was wrong with my knee and subsequently, chose him for my total knee replacement. His bedside manner is wonderful and he is compassionate, caring and confident. He made sure that I knew exactly what was wrong and how he would treat it. I had ad my surgery and am 6 weeks out. I’m already driving and back to work! His office staff are all great, and my PT is going well. They are all so supportive, as Dr. Delos is. I would recommend him to anyone. I can’t say enough wonderful things about him. Thank you Dr. Delos!!!!!! I’m a new woman with a brand new knee!! (5 Star Review on Google from E.N.) 07/10/2019
Dr. Vadasdi: Broken Patella
From the moment I walked in the ONS door with my broken right patella, I knew I was in the right place! I was most fortunate to be referred to Dr. Vadasdi by two of her former patients. I immediately felt comfortable as she is an Ironwoman Triathlete and I am a 3 time Ironman.
The entire ONS group, from surgery to PT, has turned a most difficult situation into a pleasant one. I am always greeted with a warm smile and never wait more than five minutes. The staff at ONS took care of ALL my health insurance needs leaving me with my sole responsibility of showing up on time. I would highly recommend ONS to anyone in need of orthopedic care or PT. They are simply the best. This is from the heart as I am soooo grateful for ONS taking good care of me!! (patient S.W.)
Dr. Delos: Shattered Collarbone
Dr Delos did surgery on my 15 year old son’s shattered collarbone, putting in a long plate and 8 screws. My son felt very little pain within 2-3 days and none by one week out. His physical therapist was AMAZED at his mobility and strength – and the fact that he had zero pain – and gave all the credit to his surgeon. Dr Delos followed up himself by phone and then at multiple appointments to make sure all was well. To my son’s delight, he was cleared to return to lacrosse 2 weeks earlier than expected. We would recommend him without any hesitation! (5 StarReview on Healthgrades from C.)
Dr. Kowalsky: Shoulder Surgery
This is a follow-up to my 5-star review of Dr. Kowalsky (dated 12/13/18), shortly after I completed P/T and had my last visit with the doctor. I had suffered a very serious shoulder injury while bicycling late May 2018. Dr. Kowalsky performed a complex surgery mid-June to repair my shoulder, which had several tears of the rotator cuff and biceps. I am now back on my bicycle, and doing the somewhat challenging rides that I had been doing prior to my accident, although perhaps a bit more carefully. My shoulder feels great, is working great, and I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Kowalsky’s surgical skills and wonderful bedside manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a shoulder injury. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from B.Z.)
Dr. Wei: Wrist Surgery
Dr. Wei recently performed surgery on my wrist. He has a patient manner about him and clearly articulated the problem and possible solutions. I’d certainly consult Dr. Wei first if future hand or wrist problems arise. (5 Star Review on Google from D.R.)
Dr. Miller
Outstanding combination of skill and personality!(5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Wei: Elbow Surgery
Dr. Wei is a wonderful doctor! I came to him with a badly damaged elbow from an old injury I sustained ten years earlier. I ended up needing surgery in December. The surgery went great and I’m living pain free. Dr. Wei explained everything I would go through and was super informative and very compassionate and understanding. My experience with him and ONS was excellent. (5 Star Review on Google from D. O.)
Dr. Miller: Chronic Shoulder Pain
I went to see Dr. Miller after putting up with chronic shoulder pain for years. Dr. Miller diagnosed torn Rotator Cuffs and bone spurs in both shoulders. Dr. Miller fixed both shoulders in the span of 10 months. A year and a half later, my shoulders are fully recovered and pain free. The experience throughout couldn’t have been better. Dr Miller is a shoulder expert and a pro (my partially torn RCs were probably a walk in the park compared to the more complex repairs that he does). Regardless, I received the same excellent care. Beyond the surgical expertise, my experience at ONS was always outstanding. I don’t believe that I ever waited more than 10 minutes to see Dr. Miller. At the same time, Dr. Miller always took time to explain things to me and answer all of my questions, such that I never felt hurried. I strongly recommend Dr. Miller and the entire ONS staff.(5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Wei: Broken Hand
Dr. Wei and the people at ONS are the best. I suffered from my first broken bone a few months ago in my hand, right in the middle of my final lacrosse season. From the moment I saw the x-ray to the moment I got the hard cast off, Dr. Wei and his crew were by my side. I made my goals of returning to play the final two games of my season. Without the help from these people, I’m not sure I would have made the comeback that I did. I strongly recommend using ONS. They’re the best in the business. (5 Star Review on Google from E.S.)
Dr. Delos: ACL Repair
I recently had my ACL done by Dr. Delos. It was a great experience and the surgery went really well. I am really happy with how it is healing and how quickly I was able to get back to regular life.
Dr. Kowalsky: Knee Surgery
Dr. Marc Kowalsky is an incredibly kind and caring doctor that took the time to explain every step of my very complicated knee surgery and was extremely diligent in attending to my growing concerns as a patient. Not only did he fix my knee physically but he basically turned my way of life around mentally. I would highly recommend him to anyone !!! I cannot speak highly enough about him and his practice! (5 Star Review on Healthgades)
Dr. Wei: Surgery
Dr Wei was fantastic. Every aspect of my treatment with him was as good as I could ask for. His initial diagnosis and explanation of my options; his help deciding the best way forward; his execution of the procedure and the immediate aftercare; his empathy and bedside manner; his consideration and accessibility; the time he spent with me; his follow up and focus on my recovery; all of these things were as good as they could be. He really was one of the nicest and most successful surgeons I’ve met. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Sahler: Back and Neck Pain
Great visit. I came in because of pain in my upper back/neck. Dr. Sahler was friendly and concerned and spent time asking me questions about my sports activity and lifestyle. After having me x-rayed, he was really great about showing me the x-rays on his laptop and clearly walking me through what the issue was (it was ligament-related in my neck…a sprain). It was also good that he showed me what was healthy + good about my spine too. We then talked about simple lifestyle changes. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Miller
Dr. Miller has been my shoulder doctor since 1997. Through 4 surgeries and a complicated bone disease, he has been my idea of the perfect surgeon. One who treats you before and after surgeries and takes the time to balance treatments, PT and surgeries. He cares and has built a remarkable organization at ONS in his spare time. A surgeon who other surgeons consult. One of the top shoulder surgeons in the country. Highly recommended. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Miller: Shoulder Replacement
I still can’t believe this. 4 days ago I walked into Greenwich Hospital to have a total shoulder replacement. Since I came home from the hospital I have zero pain. I have not taken a single pain pill. I am looking forward to start my physical therapy at ONS. You can believe all the hype you heard about Dr Seth Miller. He really is the best of the best. (5 Star Review on Yelp from A.K., Astoria, NY)
Dr. Sethi: Broken Collarbone
I broke my collarbone in my last football season and was looking for a doctor who could help me the best way possible. Doctor Sethi was my doctor for the process and he was amazing to say the least. He was very helpful to my family and me. We could not be happier. It is not just him as well. The office ran to perfection with a great system of getting in and getting out. In fact, my father and I were 20 minutes late to our appointment. We sat down and within 5 minutes I was in my room waiting to get X-rays. Overall 5/5, 10/10, 100%. It is a great place to be. (5 Star Review on Yelp from P.P.)
Dr. Greene, Alicia Hirscht, DPT
I thought it was important to send a note to someone at ONS about Dr. Greene and Alicia Hirscht, DPT. I have been treating with Dr. Greene for a torn abductor tendon and other hip issues since December. I started PT in Stamford under Alicia Hirscht. I would easily recommend either practitioner to a family member.
Dr. Greene’s communication was clear and concise when weighing treatment options. PT Hirscht made room in her schedule for me and took the time and effort to get me up and playing tennis again. They are both true professionals and showed an incredible amount of patience working with me to recover from my chronic injuries.
Keep up the excellent work and hiring practices. (note from patient P.Y.)
Dr. Kowalsky: ACL Reconstruction
I saw Dr. Kowalsky for an ACL reconstruction – he was patient and kind and took the time to answer any/all of my questions. Surgery went extremely well and I have full range of motion back in my knee. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from a patient in CT)
An ONS Experience
Quality of care is excellent. (5 Star Review on Google by L.V.)
Dr. Sethi: Biceps Tendon Rupture Repair
Dr. Sethi and the entire support team at ONS are amazing! From my initial consult, to the surgery, to the rehabilitation period … they set the gold standard for medical care! Everyone I interacted with was an attentive listener, informative, and appeared to genuinely care about my recovery. I had a biceps tendon rupture repair five months ago which was performed at their Stamford surgical facility, which was state-of-art. (5 Star Review on Google from J.K.)
Dr. Sethi
Good bedside manners, extremely knowledgeable. Nice staff. Especially Florence. (5 Star Review on Google from E.W.)
Dr. Sethi: Rotator Cuff and Bicep Repair, Bone Spur Removal
I went to Dr. Sethi as I had been experiencing shoulder and bicep pain for some time. Dr. Sethi and team surgically repaired both my rotator cuff and torn bicep (as well as removing a bone spur near my rotator cuff). While the first couple of months of recovery were difficult, I am now fully recovered at 9 months and my shoulder / bicep have never felt better. Dr. Sethi is a great doctor and surgeon and answered all questions I had along the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone as you will be in excellent hands. (5 Star Review on Google from R.F.)
ONS Physical Therapy: Frozen Shoulder
Alicia Hirscht is an absolutely top-notch physical therapist! As a physician who cares for patients myself, it was so wonderful to experience the kindhearted, knowledgeable, compassionate, and encouraging approach that Alicia took while treating my shoulder problem. She guided me through an intensive 12-week program of physical therapy during which time I started out with a frozen shoulder and ended up with virtually full range of motion. She managed my expectations beautifully, and she gave me terrific guidance with home therapy exercises. I cannot recommend her highly enough! (Note from patientF.S.)
Dr. Clain: Foot Surgery
I have had very good experience with Dr Clain on foot surgery. He worked on my right foot. The foot is perfect to me. I just completed surgery on my left foot with him. The team is attentive. Pain control is good- my block lasted. We are hoping for a similar fine result on this left foot as we have on the right. Fingers crossed. I have great trust in Dr Clain. (5 Star Review on Google by W.S.)
Dr. Miller: Rotator Cuff Repair
When shoulder surgeon, Dr. Seth Miller, performed a rotator cuff repair on Penny W’s husband, Bob, little did she know that she would turn to Dr. Miller to repair her severe rotator cuff injury in just two months’ time. “I was very impressed with Dr. Miller’s bedside manner,” Penny said. “He was very generous with his time and answered all of our questions. He was not condescending and never made us feel rushed. His communication style was clear and his easy ability to interact with us was truly distinguishing. It was an amazingly great experience.”
An ONS Experience
I have sent several of my clients to ONS and all of them have been very happy with the service and their surgeries. Great doctors. (Comment on Facebook from M.L., MPT, OCS)
Dr. Kowalsky: Knee
Dr Kowalsky and the entire staff at ONS are professional, incredibly knowledgeable about their individual crafts and really cared about getting my knee/quad and leg back to normal so I can resume my daily activities. Dr Kowalsky, despite being very busy took the time to respond to a question via e-mail and I can’t name another Dr who would take the time to do so! Additionally ONS is “one stop shopping” from setting up appts, MRI, surgery and PT all under one roof! Their PT staff is exceptional! (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from C.W. in Larchmont, NY)
Dr. Cunningham
We are so pleased with the service and treatment at ONS. Dr. Cunningham has been so patient, helpful and took amazing care of our daughter. I’m happy to speak to anyone about what they can expect. (Patient comment on ONS Facebook page)
Dr. Delos: ACL Repair
My son had a torn ACL.Dr. Delos is a great doctor, surgeon and has wonderful communication skills. Highly recommended. (5 Star Review on Google from C.R.)
Dr. Kowalsky: Shoulder Surgery
I had a very serious shoulder injury. Dr. Kowalsky clearly and completely explained the extent of the injury and the surgery needed to repair my shoulder. He also accurately predicted the recovery time and effort needed. Dr. Kowalsky always took as much time as was needed to thoroughly answer every one of my questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has experienced a shoulder injury. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades)
Dr. Kowalsky: Rotator Cuff Repair
Dr. Kowalsky operated on my shoulder for rotator cuff repair a year ago. Excellent result with full range of motion. He is a great surgeon with skills!! Also, very personable and professional. Many people had given me horror stories about their similar surgery and were advising against it. So glad I didn’t listen. I’m about to start playing tennis again which could not have happened without the results I have. Thank you Dr. Kowalsky!(5 star Review from E.B. in Stamford)
Dr. Delos
After years of pain and therapies that were not working, I decided to have surgery. It was the the best as it could be. The appointment was booked quickly, after care was great and the procedure itself worked wonders. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Delos to anyone. He is super professional and very competent. Not that I want surgery again but if I did it would be with him! (5 Star review on Healthgrades from a patient in New Canaan, CT)
Dr. Kowalsky
Dr. Kowalsky did an amazing job on my surgery. My arm is fully back to normal after surgery. I never had to wait for my appointments. He has a very good bedside manner. I would strongly recommend him for surgery. (5 Star review on Healthgrades by S.)
Dr. Sethi: Youth Baseball Injury
Dr. Sethi is amazing. He did a phenomenal job for my son helping him get over a baseball injury that HSS gave up on. I strongly recommend him. (5 Star Review on Google from O.C.)

Dr. Kowalsky did an amazing job on my surgery. My arm is fully back to normal. I never had to wait for my appointments. He has a very good bedside manner. I would strongly recommend him for surgery. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades by S.)
Miller: Rotator Cuff Repair
Dr. Miller came highly recommended in 2005. Unlike other surgeons who wanted to operate on my shoulders, Dr Miller was confident my shoulder pain was related to my neck. He was correct and I had surgery at Yale for Eagle’s Syndrome, the removal of elongated styloid bones in my neck, pains gone. Recently I required rotator cuff surgery. I know from other patients also, he interacts and treats his patients as he would himself. He is compassionate, conservative and a highly skilled surgeon.(5 Star Review on Healthgrades from G.H. MD)
Dr. Greene
I am a Director of Critical Care and a seasoned RN as well. Dr. Greene is top notch- I send everyone to him that I can. He is humane, highly comprehensible, takes his time, explains things well and is clinically excellent! The surgery center he uses in Stamford was excellent, clean, great staff and everyone was in the same page! (5 Star Review on Google from L.J.K)
An ONS Experience
Professional, friendly, caring facility. They explains all details to procedures. They don’t rush you into having surgery. Excellent pre and post services. (5 Star Review on Google from G.W.)
Dr. Vitale
I recently saw Dr. Vitale for a wrist injury. Dr. Vitale is not only extremely knowledgeable, nice to work with, but he explained my situation and told me how to deal with the problem without the need for surgery. He is an outstanding physician and person. I highly recommend him especially for hand issues. (5 Star Review on Google from A.E.)
Dr. Kowalsky
I walked into the office of Dr. Kowalsky, as a first time patient without an appointment, he saw me in less than ten minutes, sent me to the hospital, ordered tests and operated the next day. During my recovery he was always available to see me and answer all of my questions. He and his staff always made me comfortable, it was like dealing with family. (5 Star Review on Google from T.F.)
Dr. Cantlon
Today was my 1st visit to see Dr. Cantlon and he has such a great bedside manor, he’s gentle soft spoken, and easy on the eye lol. In all seriousness I really appreciate him and his staff taking such great care of me, and let me add no wait time which is very important to those of us who work. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from D.M.)
An ONS Experience
I want to share the happiness and gratification I continue to experience as a patient of ONS. This place is what every Medical Provider’s Office should be – excellent service, respectful staff, qualified and upbeat nurses, beyond brilliant doctors, unbelievable efficiency in scheduling, follow-ups and clinical care, minimal wait time, multi-tasking and ever-pleasant front desk folks, amazingly clean examination rooms, fantastic diagnostic resources…. The list goes on and on. I am so happy I found ONS. I truly feel that I am in good hands. Professionalism builds trust and quality customer service heals beyond belief. ONS rocks! 🙂
A thing of beauty is indeed a joy forever. (email from patient, S.V.)
Dr. Delos: Meniscus Repair
Dr. Delos performed ACL repair surgery as well as a meniscus repair after a ski accident in March 2018. Dr. Delos is not only an excellent surgeon, but also a caring and concerned doctor. I highly recommend him to anyone considering any type of knee surgery. I am almost back to my full strength and am forever grateful to Dr. Delos and the Physical Therapy team at ONS. (5 Star review on Healthgrades from M.R. in Riverside, CT)
An ONS Experience
The Best Doctor/Patient experience I have ever had. Went to him as a 2nd opinion for a partial ACL tear. He laid out ALL the options and was very knowledgeable with all my questions. I have FULL CONFIDENCE and have recommended him to others. They All love his Work!! (5 Star Review on Google from D.T.)
Dr. Sethi: Rotator Cuff
I went to see Dr. Paul Sethi for a second opinion regarding a small rotator cuff tear on my left shoulder. My sister recommended Dr. Sethi as he repaired her shoulder a few years before. I was so impressed by Dr. Sethi that I decided to have him perform the surgery. During surgery it was discovered that my tear was massive. After seeing the images of the tear, it’s amazing that Dr. Sethi was even able to repair my rotator cuff. I went for my three month follow up today and I am at 100%. My friends at the gym who have had the same injury and surgery as me can’t believe what I am able to do at just three months. Most of my friends are not where I am and it’s been a few years since they had their surgery. I tell everyone that I had the most amazing surgeon. Dr. Sethi originally told me that it would take about nine months to lift my arm straight up and I am able to do that in less than three months. I recently sent my daughter to Dr. Sethi for knee pain she was experiencing. When she came home, she told me that she was also impressed by his bedside manner and the care she received from him. Dr. Sethi has the most amazing bedside manner and truly makes you feel as if you are in good hands. He will take care of you and you don’t need to worry about anything. I also want to say that the staff at ONS is truly professional. The staff does an amazing job in scheduling their appointments. I have never had to wait in the waiting room and usually go right in to see the doctor. I can’t say enough about Dr. Sethi and ONS. (5 Star review on Google from D.C.)
Dr. Sethi: Biceps, Rotator Cuff
Dr Paul Sethi did a great job on my shoulder. I tore my long head bicep tendon and my rotator cuff was a mess. I work construction, played baseball, coached little league etc. I’m 60 now. DR. Sethi was my 3rd opinion and gave me the most confidence. Operation turned out great! He repaired it all! I have no more pain now that I’m back working, working out and throwing baseballs to my grandkids !!! He’s the best !!! (5 Star review on Google by R.V.)
Dr. Sethi: Shoulder Surgery
I am a 45-yo female competitive rower. I’d been having trouble with my right shoulder for 18 months. After a year of applying every plausible alternative therapy to avoid surgery, I succumbed to the reality. There was no question in my mind that Dr. Sethi would do my surgery. He’d operated on a few fellow athletes and has a sterling reputation for both outcomes and manner. He delivered beyond my expectations in all respects. As a fellow athlete himself, he really understood the unique considerations of my life and the specifics of my individual sport. He warned me that going from my usual athleticism to no activity would have psychiatric effects. That warning came to mind when I started catching myself randomly crying when my kids didn’t put away their laundry or I saw videos of puppies and babies on my Facebook feed. I realized what was going on and that helped tremendously. He anticipated that I’d be eager to get back to my sport and have a propensity to try to “over-achieve” the process or not rely on others for help. He sternly warned me that some of the character qualities that serve me as an athlete would be liabilities in recovery. That warning changed the way I considered my choices. We had a detailed discussion about the potential repairs that could be made and the trade-offs that would accompany a faster recovery and less extensive repair. After that discussion, I elected for a “one-and-done” approach. He ended up repairing my bicep, labrum and rotator cuff. He also removed a very large bone spur that was sitting on top of my rotator cuff. I did my PT with ONS as well. As always, they were stellar. But here’s the punchline. He said the soonest he would be willing to have any kind of conversation about my return to rowing would be 5 months post-op. I accepted that and adjusted my expectations. At every appointment, he was very pleased with my recovery. I then thought, “Cool. I should be good to go at 5 months.” At my 3 month post-op, he concluded my exam with the following statement. “I can’t think of any reason why you can’t return to rowing.” “What? Are you serious? What restrictions?” “Don’t do anything stupid.” I got back on the erg and haven’t had any problems. Went back to full time training and after about a month also started performance training. When we got back on the water, I found out that I could still even hold the full weight of one end of a quad by myself. No problems with the shoulder. I’ve asked physical therapists and others how the heck I healed so quickly. The main theme of their answer is “surgeon skill.” (5 Star review on Google by J.S.)
Dr. Sethi
One of the best around. Fixed up my knee perfectly from a severe football injury. Got me back on the field when no one thought I would be able to. Outstanding doctor, but even better person. Highly recommend to anyone. (5 Star review from P.)
Dr. Delos
Dr. Delos is an outstanding man, doctor, and friend. He helped save my leg and got me back on the field way quicker than anyone expected. Would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an orthopedic surgeon in Fairfield County, CT. One of the best around. (5 Star review on Healthgrades from P.)
Dr. Delos: ACL Reconstruction
Dr. Delos diagnosed my torn ACL and suggested reconstructive surgery using a part of my hamstring. I was reluctant to commit to surgery because of friends who had horror stories (with doctors in different practices), however Dr. Delos talked me off the ledge several times, boosting my confidence. Everything went seamlessly and his bedside manner both before and after the surgery was extraordinary. I couldn’t recommend him and the ONS team enough! (5 sSar review on Healthgrades from S.O. in Stamford, CT)
Dr. Sethi: Rotator Cuff Surgery
I had shoulder pain for a couple of years, knowing that eventually rotator cuff surgery would be necessary. Dr. Sethi at ONS was fantastic, helping me with PT and exploring non-surgical options, and understood my reservations and concerns. Once the last cortisone shot wore off we scheduled surgery for December 2017. He cautioned me that for six weeks I would curse him but in six months I would praise him. 20 weeks after surgery I was hitting golf balls, in far less pain than before the surgery – I don’t even need the Advil and Aleve I used to use. I can’t recommend Dr. Sethi and ONS more highly! (5 star review left on the ONS Facebook page by J.F.)
Dr. Miller
Dr Miller is an excellent surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. He has a way of making you feel like you are his most important patient. He answers all of your questions fully without ever making you feel rushed. He is truly exceptional. I would recommend him to everyone I know!(5 star review on Healthgrades from R. in White Plains, NY
Dr. Delos
Overall – very pleased. Great bedside manner and professional. Great surgeon and follow up post-surgery. Always available when needed as well as attention to detail. Listens to concerns and needs. Have recommended to friends and would go back. The staff at ONS was amazing also. (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from S.A.)
Dr. Kowalsky: Broken Humerus
Dr. Kowalski besides being very caring, professional and friendly did an amazing job putting our son’s broken humerus bone back together. The follow-up xrays revealed an amazing progress and almost seamless recovery. We are very grateful to Dr. Kowalski and his staff for taking such great care of our young athlete and enabling him to get back to skiing, training and competing in record time! (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from a patient in Darien, CT)
Dr. Kowalsky: Elbow Injury
Dr. Kowalsky is the absolute best! Following a serious sport related injury (elbow), I was treated with the utmost professionalism and personal care. He talked me through every step of my recovery, checked in with me, was there when I had questions/worries about being able to return to full activities sports, etc. A year later, I needed emergency surgery (meniscus repair) which he did too.

Dr. Kowalsky: Meniscus Repair
Dr. Kowalsky – I had my left meniscus repaired by you in October 2016 and my right meniscus repaired in April 2017. My desire was to get back into marathon running. I completed my 15th marathon on Sunday, January 7th at Walt Disney World thanks to you and your staff’s expertise and assistance. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the ability to be back running. Again, thank you. (D.N., Greenwich, CT)
Dr. Kowalsky: Meniscus Repair
So much praise for Dr. K so I hope this will sum up who he is as a physician, surgeon & man. He knew I was pressed for time to get my meniscus repaired so he scheduled me first thing in the morning (also my preference). As I was leaving after recovery, I met him in the parking garage. He came in early to operate on me alone and then went on with the rest of his day! Who does that but a kind, compassionate, considerate human! Also, I came home with pics which he explained later. I’m eternally grateful! (5 star review on Healthgrades from J.C. in New York)
Dr. Delos: Shoulder Surgery
In a little less than two years ago, I had a small accident and broke my right shoulder. I had been seeing another physician for almost five months and my shoulder still wasn’t healing. The physician had tried of number of different things but nothing seemed to help. Needless to say my frustration level was over the top. Being right handed, many things in my life were quite difficult especially since my job requires me to type a lot on a computer. I had just seen the physician for an appointment and he wanted to wait a few more weeks to see if what we had been trying for months might finally work to get my bone to heal. A member of my family convinced me to see a doctor in the ONS practice because they had helped him a few years earlier. I made an appointment for Friday, July 29 with Dr. Delos. I met with him and conveyed my overwhelming frustration and I needed something done quickly. After reviewing my case and seeing the other things that had been tried, he realized surgery was the only option left. I agreed but told him it needed to be done as soon as possible because in six weeks I was going away and needed to be well on the way to being healed by then. Well, he and the staff took my request very seriously and started jumping through hoops to get me in for surgery. The staff was very helpful in getting everything together. Everything about the surgery was explained so I understood the procedure and recovery very well. Well, five days later on Wednesday, August 3, I was in Greenwich Hospital getting my surgery. The surgery was a total success. All my follow ups went well and the staff took great care of me. I would easily recommend ONS for any orthopaedic needs, big and small. Thank you. I can’t explain how good it was to get back the use of my arm. (F.V.O, 5 star review on the ONS Facebook page)

Dr. Kowalsky performed ACL reconstruction on my knee and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the result!

Dr. Delos: Bilateral Knee Replacement
I had a bilateral knee replacement in May of this year and I could not be more pleased.

Dr. Delos is a wonderfully gifted orthopedic surgeon who is also incredibly compassionate and personable.

I had surgery two weeks ago and I’ve already recommended Dr. Miller to someone. MR (Repair of rotator cuff and labral tears, bone spur removal).
Dr. Miller: Rotator Cuff Surgery
A fully functioning shoulder joint rotates 360 degrees. When I arrived at ONS, my range of motion was only a fraction of that. With the skilled hands and intelligent mind of Dr. Seth Miller, my significant rotator cuff tear has been successfully repaired and I can fly again! (comment from RateMD)

Dr. Vadasdi
Dr. Vadasdi was wonderful. She performed two surgeries, the first to find out what was wrong with a repair conducted by another surgeon, and a second to then fix the problem.

I am now 100% healthy and back to normal routines, including yoga (at age 68!) (comment from RateMD)

Dr. Delos is not only an exceptional doctor, but he is caring and compassionate. My daughter had a torn ACL and Meniscus and was scheduled to compete in Disney.

I would recommend him to EVERYONE in need of his specialty. (comment from RateMD)
Dr. Delos: Knee Replacement
Young, innovative, and on the cutting edge of his specialty. Dr. Delos replaced both my knees and I had wonderful results with minor pain, minimized by his phenomenal anesthesia formula. Best of all, the lack of external stitching (using medical glue instead) eased the healing process and left no ugly scarring. I could not ask for better results. Highly recommended by HSS and deservedly so. Thanks Dr. Delos. (comment from RateMD)

She is supportive of the treatment we are doing in the present and in the future, and does not set up a scenario where surgery is to be expected. Dr. Kessel is always positive about the future of my condition and I thank her for that. Also, the in office and front office staff across the board is caring, pleasant, professional, and comforting.

As I age he is an important medical partner. (F.B.)

Dr. Delos: ACL Tear
For 21 year old S.R. the first game of the Division III soccer season at SUNY Purchase was her last. She twisted her knee awkwardly while running down the field and tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her knee. She knew the ordeal she was in for, having torn the ACL in her other knee four years earlier while playing high school soccer. “I knew there would be surgery and six months of rehabilitation, but it was my senior year and I was determined to be back in shape to play lacrosse in the spring,” she said.
With the help and guidance of sports medicine specialist, Dr. Demetris Delos, S.R. achieved her goal. Not only did S.R. contribute to her team’s 9 and 3 season, she was named MVP of the team, and Female Athlete of the Year by the university. She also qualified for the First Team All Conference and All Regional in lacrosse.
“Dr. Delos was so nice and friendly and straightforward in terms of expectations and recovery time. He turned a bad situation into a great experience.” (S.R.)
Dr. Delos: Knee Surgery
12 year old soccer player, Sam M., was on top of his sport when he developed knee pain and swelling after a fall during a game last June. He kept it to himself because he didn’t want to jeopardize his chance to compete internationally at the Madrid Cup in September. Although he did make it to the tournament, he spent most of his time on the sidelines with his knee too painful, swollen, and difficult to move.
Upon returning home, Sam’s mother, Paula, brought him to see Dr. Demetris Delos, a sports medicine physician who specializes in knee injuries. Dr. Delos ordered an MRI, which revealed a slight fracture in Sam’s knee and a one inch piece of loose cartilage that would require surgery to repair. The injury was close to the growth plate, which could have had long term consequences. However, the surgery went well and Sam is back on the soccer field with his sights on the Hackley School’s Academy Team.
“Dr. Delos was always positive and everything he said would happen transpired, “said Paula M., Sam’s mother. “I was very impressed with the high level of care and collaboration with the physical therapists because they all wanted Sam to achieve his goal. Everyone was unbelievably caring.” (S.M.)
Dr. Kowalsky: Knee Injury
Dr. Kowalsky was kind and understanding of my desire to “get back” to rowing and dance.

Dr. Delos: ACL Surgery
In 2014, local student athlete Brooke was playing basketball with her team in the 7th of 8 games at the AAU Nationals when she became injured during a layup after another player collided with her causing immediate knee pain. “I fell down and the trainer helped me off the court. We could see instant swelling and knew I needed to see a doctor” said Brooke.

Dr. Sethi: Shoulder
William McHale: Getting Back in the Game
William McHale with ONS Orthopedic Surgeon, Sports Medicine Specialist Paul Sethi, MD who has provided orthopedic care for Will since the 7th grade.
The doctors at ONS have always been my resource for orthopedic issues. I met Dr. Paul Sethi when I broke my ankle playing football in 7th grade. In high school I broke my wrist and had a number of other strains and sprains, each time, returning to ONS. Dr. Paul Sethi is a sports medicine doctor who has an athlete’s mentality when it comes to treatments and recovery. He has a balanced view of treating an injury thoroughly and properly- while understanding the urgency of getting the athlete back to the game as soon as possible.
I played linebacker for Yale University and started in 30 consecutive games between my sophomore year and the end of my senior year. In my senior year though, I tore the labrums in both of my shoulders. It was so bad that I had to wear a restrictive brace to keep my shoulders from slipping out of the socket during games. I couldn’t do most of the upper body weight training regime. It was rough. I had to get them repaired. On top of everything, I was under pressure to recover in time for my Pro Day in front of NFL scouts.
Will McHale – post shoulder surgery.
The surgeries went great. Dr. Sethi found more damage than originally showed on the MRIs. Afterward, did physical therapy three to four times a week. By four months post surgery, I was able to do most of the prescribed exercises and my shoulders felt back to normal. I regained all my strength between six and seven months after surgery.
Dr. Sethi was completely sensitive to my goal to perform well on my Pro Day, and he worked with me to set up an aggressive rehab schedule. I was able to return to play with complete confidence in the strength of my shoulders, and I haven’t had any issues with them since! The result was that my Pro Day went great, and I was invited to Minicamp with the New Orleans Saints! I just returned from playing professional football in France and played at 110%! (WM)

Dr. Cunningham: Knee
Cos Cob resident J.M. was 24 when he was playing basketball with friends and tore his ACL. An x-ray at Stamford Hospital indicated no broken bones but Jason was advised to see an orthopedist. The next day, he visited James Cunningham, MD. A physical examination determined he had most likely ruptured his ACL. An MRI confirmed the diagnosis. “An avid basketball player and all-round athlete, J.M. was a good candidate for an ACL reconstruction,” said Dr. Cunningham who, in the surgery last April, used part of his patient’s patellar tendon to reconstruct the ACL. The surgery also included work on a partially torn meniscus. The surgery lasted an hour and a half and J.M. went home later the same day. His recovery was steady and his pain was managed with Advil. After five days he began a physical therapy program, which he followed three days a week for the first month and gradually reduced over the following few months. His knee regained full flexibility and before long he returned to playing basketball with his friends. (J.M.)
