Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Colasanto is punctual, polite, and extremely knowledgeable. His guidance and care have been a refreshing aspect during a challenging time.

Dr. Colasanto is a kind and caring physician who makes you feel like he has all the time in the world to answer any questions and concerns. He thoroughly explains everything so there are no surprises when treatment starts and during treatment. Having a cancer diagnosis is a stressful time. Dr. Colasanto's expertise and compassion helps to make a difficult time easier. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Colasanto came highly recommended to me by a work colleague. I truly couldn’t be happier. He is compassionate, thorough, and gives me the time and patience to really explain the course of my treatment and the reasoning why he feels this is in my best interest. I have made some excellent progress under his care and I am very confident that I will be on a fast track to remission under his care. Dr. C is soft spoken, yet confident in his approach. I would encourage anyone in this difficult time in their life to make it a point to seek out his care. Well worth the trip from Litchfield to visit him in Hartford.
