Dr. Paul D Tortland founded Valley Sports Physicians in 1995, upon completion of his Sports Medicine Fellowship, and he has been a leader and pioneer in the Connecticut medical profession since. Raised in Stamford, CT, Dr. Tortland completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Connecticut, where he earned his Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. He worked for 2 years both as a marriage & family therapist in his own private practice and also taught at the University of Connecticut Avery Point campus, before starting medical school. He attended the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNECOM) in Biddeford, Maine, where he was also the recipient of a prestigious one year pre-doctoral fellowship in Osteopathic Principles and Practice and Human Anatomy. After completing an internship in New Jersey, Dr. Tortland returned to Maine for his residency at UNCEOM, following which he undertook a fellowship in Sports Medicine at Sports Care/The Toledo Hospital, in Toledo, OH. He and his wife then returned to their native Connecticut to establish his practice.

Professional, comfortable, easy.

Dr. Tortland and his staff were kind, compassionate, and thoroughly professional. The entire process was easy-peezy. The FDA needs to open their eyes to the success of newer options to pain management and healing as an alternative to pain pills and intrusive surgery.

Dr. Tortland's PRP treatments on my back have worked wonders.

Great listener, my favorite doctor ever! His innovative regenerative orthopedic medicine treatment protocols have restored strength and stability to my back ligaments, tendons and facet capsules. I had severe osteoarthritic degeneration of my facet joints, quadratus lumborum tendon strains, and an iliolumbar ligament strain, all related to spinal scoliosis from a leg length inequality. Last 2 years, at age 70 plus, I've been able to do an amazing amount of hard work on our cottage in Maine and on a wooden sailboat. He's helped me to enjoy the active retirement I wanted to have. Thank you!

Excellent

Shoulder gel injection was conducted quickly and efficiently. Dr. Tortland explained in advance what to expect and the procedure went exactly as described. Post procedure limitations explained as well.

Keeps me going!

Dr Tortland and his staff are very caring people. I got stem cell treatment in my knee 2 years ago and this is the second PRP booster I have gotten - I’m an active person and am glad to be able to keep doing the activities I enjoy doing. Thank you!

All around amazing experience

I have seen several physicians for my injury and by far this was my best experience. From the friendliness of the staff when I set my appointment all the way through the follow up - I could not ask for anymore. Dr. Tortland took a lot of time to listen to me and help diagnose like no other doctor has in my life! I would recommend this office to anyone!

Excellent diagnoses of problems with treatments that always help.

I have been a patient for almost 20 years. My treatments have alleviated pain from numerous whiplash injuries, S.I. joint pain, knees and ligaments and tendons in the shoulder girdle. Dr Tortland is always very accurate with his diagnoses and takes care to administer injections that are minimally painfully if at all. I trust him completely and would never consider going anywhere else for treatments.

one of the best decisions I made in my life was stem cell therapy

I WAS DIAGNOSIED WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS IN BOTH SHOULDERS. I HAD LIMITED RANGE OF MOTION AND PAIN TO THE EXTENT THAT I COULD NOT BRING MY ARMS AROUND MY NECK OR WASH UNDER MY ARMS. DRESSING WAS A PROBLEM WHEN LOOPING A BELT ABOUND MY PANTS OR PULING A SHIRT OVER MY HEAD OR REACHING OVER MY SHOULDERS. SLEEPING WAS PROBLEMATIC SINCE I WOULD WAKE UP DUE TO PAIN. I TRIED INJECTIONS AND PRECRIPTION ANTI INFLAMMATORY
MEDICATION WHICH PROVIDE LIMITED TEMPORARY RELIEF. I HAD THREE SEPARATE ORTHOPEDIC OPINIONS. . ALL REQUIRED GENERAL ANESTHESIA, SURGERY 6 MONTHS TO ONE YEAR RECOVERY FOR EACH SHOULDER WITH RISKS, 2 YEARS OUT OF MY LIFE. I OPTED FOR STEM CELL THERAPY SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR BOTH SHOULDERS WITH DR. TORTLAND. THERE WAS NO GENERAL ANESTHESIA OR SCARING. BOTH SHOULDERS WERE FULLY FUNCTIONING WITHIN ONE YEAR WITH NO DOWN TIME DURING THE HEALING PROCESS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STEM CELL THERAPY OVER SURGERY WITH ITS ACCOMPANYING RISKS. IT IS YOUR OWN BODY HEALING ITSELF.

My treatment meticulously cautious, extremely professional and with minimum pain.

Everyone in the immaculate office was pleasant and most concerned about my comfort level. Both doctor and staff knowledgeably explained the process. Dr.Tortland listened to my concerns with patience was able to pinpoint my problem area and treat it quickly and efficiently with minimal pain. Such sensitivity and empathy is rare these days and most appreciated.

Excellent care

Doctor took the time to answer all my exercise-related questions, and offer advice with respect to cardio vs weight lifting.

Treated with care and respect by a committed, competent crew

Dr. Tortland is passionate about his field and cares about the integrity with which he and his colleagues carry out their work. Add that to his obvious competency and I felt I could trust my knees to him and his crew. I was always treated with care and respect, and always received a response whenever I called with questions. So far, I feel this was a great decision.
