We Provide a Broad Range of Specialties
As a leading academic medical center, UConn Health has board-certified specialists with vast experience in nearly every area of medicine. Reaching across specialties, our providers work together—and with your primary care provider—to ensure we care for every aspect of your health.
We Have One-on-One Therapists
Each therapist works individually with a patient. We know the importance of direct contact and sufficient time, so we do not use aides or assistants. We are here to give you our undivided attention and high-level, personalized care.
We Know the Importance of Patient-Provider Communication
We emphasize open communication between a patient and a therapist about their treatment, progress towards goals, insurance authorization, and scheduling your appointments based on diagnosis and outside commitments. We listen to you and do our best to help.
