Middlesex Orthopedic & Spine Associates is proud to have sponsored the 15th Annual Ray and Robin Crothers Challenge on the Central Connecticut State University campus earlier this month.

All donations and fees from the race benefit the men's and women's cross-country and track and field teams. With our new office in Newington, we’re excited to expand our presence in the area and bring top fellowship-trained orthopedic specialists closer to the community.

Middlesex Orthopedic & Spine Associates is proud to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

On this day, we remember.

Get to know Dr. Jeffrey Chen, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the treatment of hand, wrist, shoulder, and elbow conditions at Middlesex Orthopedic & Spine Associates. Dr. Chen is dedicated to treating his patients the way he would like his own family to be treated. He takes the time to understand each patient’s unique concerns, needs, and goals. “Hand and upper extremity issues often have multiple treatment options – two patients with identical issues may benefit from completely different treatments. Taking an individualized approach to each patient helps me understand their situation and maximize outcomes through shared decision making,” explains Dr. Chen. "I’ve always been fascinated by the delicate and complex anatomy of the hand and wrist, and how it allows us to interact with the world around us. Although a small area, hand surgeons treat a wide variety of conditions, which keeps the work both challenging and exciting. Seeing patients recover and get back to what they enjoy is deeply fulfilling and is ultimately what keeps me passionate about this exciting field."
