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.

As usual, Paul Tortland and his staff provided better than concierge care and attention .

Dr. Tortland has provided my (RN) wife and me with thoughtful, efficient and successful care over more than 8 years. His diagnostic and communication skills sets, for us, a standard that we appreciate; we respect the fact that his encounters with us always provide a thoughtful friendly understanding and explanation, and he does not hesitate to go outside the box. and explain all options and possibilities. No doctor jargon!
We have each received his PRP, Prolotherpy, Cortisone, nerve blocks and Stem Cell treatments, all with great relief. I have been shocked to hear from friends that some docs actually endeavor various injection therapies (even just Cortisone and even PRP) without ultrasound guidance!
I feel that we have never "been on the clock" with him, either for evaluation, diagnosis or treatment. Finally, when you go to see Dr. Tortland, you see Paul Tortland and not an associate or junior provider. He is "the man."

Truly spectacular

I came in with a large tear in my L4/5, cervical spinal stenosis, damaged facet joints in my lower lumbar and pain in my knee. Although the procedure was a big one, the PRP (intradiscal), prolozone (knee), and prolotherapy (neck) went so well that I walked out of the office with almost no pain and for the first time in 10 years can twist my body. No pain whatsoever. Minor soreness but I am only 2 days out and truly amazed. As a side note, I was also being treated for SIBO and severe bloating in my stomach. All of that pain is gone. The nerves in my trunk were affecting the the stomach and so now my stomach pain is gone. Purely miraculous.

As always, my experience with Dr. Tortland was OUTSTANDING!

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by friendly, welcoming staff. Christine took my initial information and was a delight. Dr. Tortland introduced me to two Doctors -in -training who would observe the procedure. Everyone was pleasant and caring.

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.

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.

Doctor Tortland is the best. Office personnel is friendly and helpful too!

I have gone to Dr. Tortland for quite a few years. He has treated me for various injuries and ailments over the years and he is the only doctor I will trust with injections. He always uses the ultrasound for accurate evaluation and needle placement.

I am never quite sure how much exercise I can do after the shots.

Dr Tortland is wonderful, but I would really like to see more advice about what to do both pre and post the procedure. I can ask verbally, either at the appointment or by phone, but how much more helpful it would be to have something written, something I can refer to after I have forgotten the details which I heard in the office. I have looked up other doctors' websites and see what I'm looking for, but the advice differs from one to another. What is Dr. Tortland's opinion? I think I know, but if I had something written out, it would have been very helpful.
