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.

Simply the Best!
I had four knee surgeries before I found the one doctor to get it right! Dr. Brittis wasn't my first, but was thankfully my last! He is absolutely amazing! And as I now await shoulder surgery, the one worry that I DON'T HAVE, is whether I chose the best surgeon...Dr. Brittis is SIMPLY THE BEST!

Dr. Brittis and his staff were nothing but professional and they took care of me just like family. After he performed two shoulder replacements, I was pain free and off of all pain meds. I couldn't ask for better results.

I've been seeing Dr. Brittis for over 20 years in Fairfield, Ct. For all different reasons. He did a double knee arthroscopic repair. Repaired both biceps. Just replaced my left shoulder. Both rotator cuffs. And three gastrocnemius calf tears. I guess you can say I'm tough on my body.... I've recommended him to over a dozen friends. He's personable. Very skillful. And I've never had a problem after any of his surgeries. When you go in for surgery, they take you promptly and you're treated well.. Guy Sherman

Dr. Brittis recently performed surgery on my right knee. Though it may be unusual, I was back to work with no restrictions after 2 weeks. I would like to say my experience from start to finish at OSG was fabulous. The entire staff (including the Physical Therapy group) was pleasant, helpful and professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Brittis and OSG to anyone who requires knee or shoulder surgery.

My son and I have been patients of Dr. Brittis for a number of years. Dr. Brittis treated my son's broken leg after a snowboarding fall. and I have seen him for a few routine issues. Having a smart, understanding and accomplished Ortho Doctor is important for my son as he is a professional athlete. I find him easy to chat with and very understanding. Getting back on snow as fast as possible while being safe was our mission and he did his best to understand and help achieve our goal in a responsible manner. He is a wonderful doctor and I highly recommend him--it is not always easy to find a smart, capable doctor with a wonderful bedside manner.

It took me several months to finally decide to have shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff, due to a fall. I met with Dr. Brittis at least three times before I decided to proceed. He was patient, articulate and clear-eyed about the benefits of the surgery, especially, for me, at 70, who loves to work out at the gym. Immediately after the procedure I experienced very little pain, due in part to the ice machine I used. Fast forward now, seven months post-surgery. All is great: Range of motion is 100%. Strength is about 90% back. Dr. Brittis earned his 5-stars.

My 17 year old son had ACL and meniscus repaired October 2020. It was a devastating injury to a young athlete but Dr. Brittis did a fine job getting him back on track and ready for his upcoming year at college so he can play sports, ski and enjoy being an active kid again! Dr. Brittis has an amazing approach with young athletes as he treats them with respect and a no nonsense approach to healing. I would highly recommend Dr. Brittis for any age, but this type of injury to a young athlete is particularly rough and he is the best at helping getting them back into their active lives.

On April 30th I had surgery to repair a tear in my right rotator cuff. The guy is a rock star. Never had any pain. He recommended I use an ice water machine to reduce selling. All the above worked. Follow up from his team was excellent. Highly recommend Dr Brittis.

Dr. Brittis performed a full replacement of my ACL (cadaver), along with fixing my MCL and Meniscus damage after a pretty brutal skiing accident. Referred to OSG by several athlete friends who also trust him implicitly. It was my second major surgery on this same knee (one from 15 yrs ago). It has been 9 months since the surgery and I am back to 100% and fully active - back on the slopes skiing, coaching Lacrosse again and playing tennis like never before. Highly recommend him & the OSG team!

BRITTIS THE BUTCHER!! Don't go to this hack job unless you want to be worse off than you were before surgery. saw him for an ACL and meniscus surgery. after 15 months of pain and not getting better I decided to see someone else. I foundg out the graph that Brittish put in was too loose and was never going to heal properly and I had to have the whole surgery all over again. I am five months out of the second surgery and Doing things now I couldn't do 15 months after Brittis operated on Me
