Daniel Zelazny, MD

I turned up at Stamford Hospital’s Emergency Unit on Memorial Day at about 6 PM. I had just fallen off at the top of a 22 Ft. ladder with a chainsaw in hand. I am lucky to be alive or have a back. My tibia and ankle was far less fortunate. Dan Zelazny was on call and he turned up to stabilize my ankle. What a first class professional!!! He did his job to perfection and his sense of humor was right there with him and me. Am I grateful? In more ways I could ever express.

Dr. Zelazny's professional expertise and compassionate care initiated the healing process of our mother's broken hip. With Dr. Zelazny's intensive surgical skill and daily hospital visits, Mom was encouraged to look forward to continuing her independent lifestyle

Saw the doctor for knee pain. Identified that cartilage was worn down and recommended "gel shots" to ease pain. Told me that his staff would follow up in two weeks, "But if you don't hear anything, call as ask for status." So he was making me responsible for managing his staff. After four weeks I called and was told that my plan denied the compound and that another compound was ordered. Two weeks later I received a letter from my plan saying that they were halting the prescription due to no response from the doctor after requesting information. I called the plan, and they said they faxed a request for information, but after 10 days went by with no response, they stopped the order. Given that the first order would have had the same requirement, I now realize they also did not respond to that one. Almost two months later, I have received no treatment. This may be a good doctor, but his staff is horrible, bordering on incompetent. Save yourself the aggravation and find a doctor who is accountable for his staff's behavior.
