The Arthritis Center of Connecticut is the first and only facility totally dedicated to the diagnosis
and care of arthritis and related conditions. The 12,000 square foot facility, conveniently located at
Exit 18 on Interstate 84, is completely self-contained.
With a complete physical therapy department staffed by certified physical therapists, on site occupational therapy, and
orthopedic consultation, the Arthritis Center is truly a one stop facility for twenty-first century care of musculo-skeletal
problems.
The Arthritis Center has its own, self-contained, intravenous
infusion
center for the administration of
Remicade,
a revolutionary new treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.
The Arthritis Center has a state of the art
DEXA scanner,
to assess
bone density
for osteoporosis.
Dr. Brian Peck, the Arthritis Center's medical director, is
certified in clinical densitometry by the ISCD.
Both Dr. Peck, the medical director, and Dr.
Matza, the surgical director, lecture nationally on state of
the art topics in their fields.
The radiology suite is hospital grade and
capable of producing the highest resolution musculo-skeletal
images available.
Appointments can be made with the Arthritis
Center staff without a specific referral, if allowed by your
insurance company. Our staff can help you determine the
appropriate actions in your own case.
