Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I saw him over 10 years ago for another issue. This time around when I returned to his office, I never saw him. I was only treated by Dave his assistant for over a year for cortisone injections. I only saw Dr. Anbari the day of my surgery.

Best choice ever
Dr.Anbari is probably one of the best and caring surgeons I have had and with over twenty surgeries I have sustained during my life and the many surgeons I have had I speak with experience. He performed three surgeries on my left knee eventually having to do a knee replacement. He advocated for me against the corrupt insurance company that fought with me over my injury on the job as a firefighter. A fifteen month fight that caused me to lose my knee and my job. He was compassionate and understanding throughout the fight. After six years since the knee replacement he immediately returned my phone call and advocated for me with another medical issue phoning another surgeon in a different state to help me with another upcoming surgery. I can’t say enough good things regarding this doctor for how he gave me my life back. My knee remains stable and pain free after six years and again I can’t thank him enough. He is what doctors used to be , caring, empathetic and a great surgeon.

Pre and Post TKR care
Dr Anbari and his entire staff all display a compassion for my personal needs that is truly genuine and unique in today's medical system. Their confidence in their ability and treatments is given in such a reassuring manner with not a bit of arrogance but true concern for a successful outcome. It was a major relief and a wonderful experience to find a surgical team that cared more for my needs and I was treated as a person and not a number.

Dr Anbari has to be one of the best around... I Had a total reverse shoulder replacement 1 month to date. I already feel a great improvement from prior to surgery with almost no pain and great range of motion. Most people could not even notice I had a full total reverse shoulder replacement just 2 weeks after surgery. Minimal pain meds. Never would have thought!! Great job!! Thank you. David Land

One of the Best
Dr. Anbari performed surgery on both of my shoulders - long suffering from my days playing high school and college hockey. I got to know him from my work as a personal injury attorney and Worker’s Compensation attorney over 35 years. I represented hundreds if not at least a thousand clients who were injured either traumatically or by overuse in their upper extremities and every one of them who went to see Dr. Abari praised him. That was good enough for me. He was also very responsive to my clients’ needs, and my requests for medical information as i representated them. When I knew I had to have my shoulders done, there was no other choice for me.

This Doctor is the Best!
Dr. Anbari exceeded my expected outcome after he repaired my rotator cuff. I am 120% healed with 0 pain! I can't thank him enough for his surgical skills. You can sense the caring he exhibits in talking to him about your problems in my visits before and after surgery. I went to him initially because many of my friends had him for their surgery. Well the word of mouth paid off and I will go on always recommending him for excellent care! Thanks Doc! Sincerely, Brian Kennedy Groton,CT

Beware
Wasn't at all happy with both my 2 appointments with doctor Anbari, the first being with him and the second seeming me being deemed such an unimportant patient that I was deferred to his assistant (whom offered nothing but yet another useless injection) for my follow up. Despite the hospital clearly declaring I had a partially torn ACL on the MRA , he was adamant nothing was torn and refused to do anything but offer pathetic injections of cortisone that did nothing. From here I will be seeking a second opinion from somebody whom very clearly doesn't have a god complex.

Disappointed – Apr 14, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Anbari?
He himself is Knowledgeable, Particular about treatment, Responds quickly. His staff could be more polite, I mean the people who call to make appointments. You have to be tough to withstand the misery of people you’re talking to. Only one person was nice (She made an MRI appt), the others were like “take it or leave it”. The front desk is polite. It is a very well run office space. His assistant with braces was very nice and knew what she was doing.

Dr. Anbari takes the time to listen and explain what needs to be done. He is there to hear your concerns. My knee is 99% better and except for the scar you would not know that my knee has been replaced. Thank you Dr. Anbari for giving me back my active life.

So I had my first ACL surgery done by Dr.Glenny, but after almost 8 months post Op my knee was not doing any better. I wanted a second opinion so I saw Dr. Anbari, let me just say he is one of the kindest most caring orthopedics Ive ever met. I had an MRI done and Dr. Anbari determined I needed a new ACL again. Anbari walked me through everything he was going to do down to the last detail. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone with Knee problems. Just an Amazing person all around!
