Christopher A Colasanti

Great Dr. Great Appt.

Dr. Colasanti gave me his cell phone number to call him in 2 weeks to let him know how I was doing. You don’t see that anymore. Doctors are usually hard to reach.

Excellent visit. He explained everything.

CHRISTOPHER A. COLASANTI MD IS A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO YOUR STAFF

Was really terrific

Unbelievably great. It’s not often that Doctors take the time to really explain what’s going on. And I saw him on TV last night!

Doctor was very attentive, friendly and professional. Took his time to explain the situation so that my wife and I felt assured.

Took time to fully explain my shoulder condition, next steps, and answered all questions.

Dr. Colasanti was excellent. He knew exactly what my issues were and was very clear in his explanations of treatment, upside and potential downside.

Dr. Colasanti is a very warm caring physician and I look forward to seeing him in the future when need be

Top Notch. Listened carefully. Explained options clearly

A very informative discussion

Very professional and friendly….clear and helpful

Dr Colasanti is the best! He took excellent care of me and my surgery went very well. I really appreciate his care, compassion and kindness.

This doctor was great. More doctors should be like him, caring, explaining and take time and responding back when requested.

I connected with Dr. Colasanti very well. He listened and we communicated well together. As soon as I can I will schedule shoulder surgery with him. I have the greatest confidence in him.

I couldn't believe how nice everyone was! Starting with the initial phone call to the valet to the medical employees to the doctor himself. Highly recommend!

Dr Colasanti explained my issue, and treatment, very clearly.

Dr. Colasanti is a wonderful, caring and informative doctor. His staff is very nice.

Good sense of competence (requested surgery with Dr. Colasanti rather than Dr. [last name]); good bedside manner; good diagnostic practice; good communicative skills.

Dr Colasanti explained everything clearly and after explaining the anatomy of the shoulder he went through the MRI showing me where the issues were. When discussing surgery he shared risks and complications clearly and also explained what the surgery entailed and what the recovery process would be. I never had a doctor who made me feel so comfortable and confident in my decision to go ahead with surgery. He also assured me that I could call him anytime if I had any questions.

Dr. Colasanti provided an excellent experience during my first visit for shoulder pain. He was attentive, took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, and ensured I felt comfortable throughout the appointment. An X-ray was performed, and he explained the findings clearly and thoroughly. He provided the exercise plan since I opted to self rehab at home. I left the visit feeling informed, confident in the treatment plan, and well cared for. I would highly recommend him.

Wonderful experience. All my expectations were met.

A great visit!

I did not plan on coming in. The pain occurred when I landed in the United States a day after. I had no idea that HSS existed. Thank you for seeing me last minute.

Dr. Colasanti Is very calm and very explanatory. I appreciate his thoroughness and kindness.

Great c-ray technician Sierra, terrific PA Sophie, excellent Dr Colasanti, efficient billing gal.

Provide written examples of the different shoulder procedures.

Dr. Colasanti is an exceptional physician. He explained in detail my MRI and my Xray. He presented the primary goal to alleviate my shoulder pain and acted quickly to relieve my discomfort by injecting my bicep and shoulder. Personable, professional and supportive, I would recommend him to everyone. .

Great job Dr for the way you thoroughly explained my joint and it's current health. I'm crossing my fingers for the soft tissue damage not being too extensive which we'll obviously know after the MRI.

Dr. Colasanti has a very kind and gentle mannerism that aligns with the way I deem important with doctor/ patient relationships. He also listens very attentively, and I noticed last visit, that he also takes his time to answer questions, which reflects deeper critical thinking, which I realized a few days later after I had time to process the visit with him. Which in turn, made me realize a few things that I may have overlooked about a few keys things that he was trying to say, in a quiet, passive way, which I know understand about my inflammation flare-ups, which I now know are related to some pain, but mostly nervous system overdrive. Also, this is a very important aspect that I realized a few days ago, which I would like to ask him at my next visit. After he gave me my cortisone shot, in the exact place that I have had recurrent pain for about 18 months, and getting multiple injections at that spot, not by Dr. Colasanti previously, but by another doctor, and something registered with me that my long time physician that “cured” my back that became immobile for 5 months back in the year 2000, is that when I asked him “is cortisone treatment dangerous”? As I was told by another physician, and he replied” Not if you know what you are doing, what exact nerve to hit”. So after Dr. Colasanti gave me my last cortisone shot, I felt it in my glenohumoral head, and my deltoid muscle. Right then, I knew he hit the exact nerve which I believe had an impingement, and was not targeted at the exact spot. So the interesting thing is that now with beginning to do light exercises I can now feel my tricep and the supporting muscles around it, which I had not felt, after I retore my supraspinatus again after my second surgery, although it is small. So, I am very appreciative that he was able to target that “exact” nerve that I know believe was causing the incredible pain when returning to PT on multiple occasions. At my next visit, I would like to know if in fact this is the reason I can feel “good” muscle soreness, and actually feel those muscles again. The only question I have for Dr. Colasanti now is; Will I be able to strengthen the muscles that have atrophied with exercise, and will I be able I do certain sports that I once enjoyed such as tennis, basketball, swimming, and possibly kickboxing again, by avoiding surgery, or will that not be possible? Thank you Dr. Colasanti, as I greatly appreciate your help,and for being kind, compassionate, and caring, which I wish all doctors were all like that. I will also say, I felt the same way about Dr. Zachary [last name], and I expect I will be treated the same way with my upcoming appointment with Dr. [last name]. Thank you all at HSS, as your reputation truly precedes you in the best way!

Dr. Colasanti took the time to review x-rays and MRI images in detail, and I never felt like the appointment was rushed in any way.

Dr. Colasanti and the whole staff at HSS were very professional.

Very happy with Dr. Colasanti and his approach with dealing with my shoulder.
