The heart of health care is a sharing of information, typically between you and your physician, regarding a particular health concern that you have. At Connecticut Surgical Group we believe that you should receive as much information as you think you need to understand your health concern and to be as involved in decisions about your health as you like. To assist you, Connecticut Surgical Group has developed our Health Information series. This series will provide you with credible information, reviewed by Connecticut Surgical Group physicians, on the diseases and procedures patients most often come to us for. We view this series as a tool you can use to assist in your understanding about your health concern and in participating with us to improve you health. We hope that you will find this helpful. If you do not find the information you are looking for please contact your physician's office directly.
