He based discussion on outdated information from previous visits. His knowledge of ankylosing spondylitis was not current based on info I got from Johns Hopkins website and Mayo Clinic website.

If all doctors could be like *Dr. Magaldi the medical profession would be in a better place. He was wonderful from start to finish. He showed kindness and a caring manner. He is very knowledgeable of course. He followed through with phone calls home and his concern is something I haven't experienced in a very long time. I have always been a fan of Hartford Hosp. and my experience with *Dr. Magaldi reinforced this. Thank you.
