Have to wait weeks to get an appointment. If not feeling well this is a problem. Going to the emergency room is not the answer. Being seen is the answer.

5 out of 5 stars

Having several appointments and different types of treatment going on at once is challenging. I am happy to share that Dr. Sinning and the staff at HHCI were nothing short of amazing in getting all these appointments with different offices/facilities all coordinated in a timely and orderly fashion. This is a far, far better experience than I am having with another local hospital/healthcare system. I would highly recommend this office and Hartford Health Care in general. Very professional, curteous, compassionate and on time!!
