Family Practice
So a couple of weeks ago when I found a lump in my breast I chose Newton Wellesley for my mammogram. I went first to their Walpole site. I had been laid off a week after my husband’s surgery so I wanted to move fast since I carried the family health insurance. The technician offered to make sure my films were read right away the next day as she would be at the hospital that day. Most comforting was the hug she gave me before I left. The next day they called to schedule a follow up mammogram and ultrasound – carried out by and read by the head of radiology. I left with good news and much relief.
Emergency Care
Well when it rains it pours. Last week I cut my thumb and needed stitches – on a Saturday night after all the urgent care centers had already closed. Back to NWH. I was in and out of the ER in less than 40 minutes with 3 stitches I never felt going in. There’s a hospital in the town where I live and without traffic, we could drive 10 minutes longer than NWH to Boston but I won’t ever bother. NWH – our family’s hat is off to you and all of your amazing staff!!! I hope we don’t need your services often but when we do, we feel confident knowing we’ll get expert care with you!!

Electrocardiogram
A nurse will obtain and/or verify a health history, including height, weight, temperature, pulse, and blood pressure. A pregnancy test will be performed on all females of childbearing age. An EKG will be performed for patients who have a cardiac history, and a blood glucose test will be performed for those patients with a history of diabetes. Once these have been completed, she/he will assist in preparing you for your surgery.

Pregnancy

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Our hands consist of dozens of intricate bones, joints, nerves, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that cooperatively work together to allow for proper function and mobility. The frequency in which we use our hands to carry out routine motor skills makes them prone to injuries, dislocations, and fractures. Meanwhile, repetitive motions while at work or participating in a favorite activity can lead to tendonitis, arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Ultrasound
MRI
I had very little movement in my right shoulder. I went to see Dr. Christiano who gave me 1 cortisone shot which did not help. I had another cortisone shot under x-ray guidance which helped very little. He then ordered an MRI which showed a small rotator cuff tear and 2 bone spurs, so we scheduled surgery. After surgery, it was found that the rotator cuff was fine, and he removed the large bone spurs plus lots of arthritis. I am going back to work 30 days sooner than expected. I was EXTREMELY lucky to have found this doctor. He is always on time, professional and pleasant. He gets 10 stars!

Orthopedics
Though Orthopedics New England specialists believe in offering a conservative approach to treatment, exploring noninvasive avenues first, sometimes surgery is necessary to offer you the best outcome. Should your physician recommend surgery, you should understand that you are in a world-renowned orthopedic surgical facility, whose surgical specialists are among the most highly trained and qualified in the region.
Whiplash
Both the back and neck are a common source of aches and pains effecting daily life. In addition, many disorders of the spine can put pressure on the nerves and spinal cord, causing pain, numbness and weakness of the arms and/or legs (radiculopathy, stenosis and myelopathy). Some patients may experience only arm and leg symptoms without any significant back or neck pain. Injuries and conditions associated with back and neck discomfort include whiplash, disc herniations, osteoporosis, cervical or lumbar stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and other cervical, thoracic, and lumbar degenerative disorders.
Arthroscopy
Dr. Sganga is continuously learning and staying on the forefront of podiatric medicine with advanced training in foot and ankle surgery, operative fracture management, and Charcot Reconstruction focusing on salvage techniques. For patients with bunions, he performs Lapiplasty®, an innovative 3D bunion correction system that has reinvented our approach to treating bunions. Dr. Sganga also possesses certifications in comprehensive foot and ankle arthroscopy surgical skills and is ACLS/BLS Certified by the American Heart Association.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Treatment of injuries and diseases of the spine requires a specialized skill-set. At Orthopedics New England, our highly skilled spine surgeon and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians are dedicated to providing you with expert diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitative care for spine conditions through minimally invasive surgery and conservative treatment methods. Interventional spine treatments include epidural injection, facet joint injection, sacroiliac joint injection, peripheral joint injection (hip, shoulder, and knee), discography, and radiofrequency ablation to diagnose and treat a multitude of conditions.
Ankle Surgery
Minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery. Our specialized podiatrists provide the best possible individualized treatment plans, utilizing advanced nonsurgical and/or surgical methods, that will help get you back on your feet.
Bunion Surgery
Joint Replacement
Determining whether to undergo joint replacement surgery is a big decision, but one that can result in a significantly improved lifestyle. Joint replacement surgery entails replacing a severely diseased joint—most commonly the hip, knee, and shoulder—with a well-designed and functional artificial implant. This procedure is necessary when considerable cartilage loss occurs in your joint, causing bone-on-bone friction, debilitation, and overbearing pain. At Orthopedics New England, our total joint specialists have specialized training and experience in diseases and injuries of the hip, knee, and shoulder joints that may require reconstruction or replacement. Our surgeons cooperatively work together using highly developed techniques and procedures to ensure the best possible course of treatment and outcome for our patients. Recent technological advancements in joint replacement surgery have allowed our surgeons to provide better outcomes and quicker recovery times for patients. Examples of these developments include: more durable implants, less invasive surgical techniques, and enhanced implant designs.
Hand Surgery
Continued involvement with the American Society of Surgery of the Hand and the American Society for Hand Surgery has allowed Dr. Saillant to evolve as a surgeon and provide his patients with the latest advancements and treatment options.
Bunions
Dr. Sganga is one of the select few Doctors of Podiatric Medicine in the Boston area who performs Lapiplasty to treat bunions. Bunions are complex deformities caused by an unstable joint. Now Lapiplasty, a new innovative 3D bunion correction system, has reinvented our approach to treating bunions. This treatment option addresses your bunion in three dimensions to correct the root of the problem. Advanced fixation technology secures the correction in place, allowing for immediate weight-bearing after surgery instead of the typical 6-8 weeks of non-weight bearing and crutch use that patients usually have to suffer through. There is an overall faster healing time post-surgery and a lower recurrence rate because the root issue is being targeted and fixed the right way, the first time. The recurrence rate is 2-3% versus the traditional bunion recurrence rate of 20-40%.
Arthroscopy
Ingrown Toenails
Your feet and ankles are complex, weight-bearing body parts that are susceptible to pain and injury. Foot and ankle apin can trike at any age – regardless of whether you run marathons or walk around your neighborhood. Michael L. Sganga, DPM, is a skilled podiatrist with extensive training in foot and ankle surgery. From bunions and broken bones to torn Achilles tendons and ingrown toenails, Dr. Sganga treats a variety of conditions. Learn about the latest in podiatric medicine, as well as surgical and non-surgical treatments that will help keep you active and on your feet!
Hip Replacement
Dr. Rockett, I want to thank you for the excellent job you did on my left hip replacement. This replacement is going even better than the right one. I was on one crutch for two days, then on a cane in the house for 10 more days (I still used it outside). I was driving at 17 days and totally without a cane after my first outpatient PT visit (18 days post-surgery). My PT said I am a true “legend” in hip replacements. I am extremely happy to be where I am in my recovery and look forward to seeing your physician assistant, Nury Flynn, next Monday.
Knee Replacement
Thank you so much, Dr. Rockett; for the past five years, you have kept me going by taking care of my knee arthritis. This past July 2020, you performed knee replacement on me, and I am now able to walk, ride a bike, and get up off my chair without pain. Every medical professional helping me through my recovery would remark on my incision. They asked me who did your surgery. That is the best incision I have ever seen. Thank you, Dr. Rockett; I can now start to resume my activities without pain.

Tennis Elbow
The elbow is a joint that connects the humerus bone of the upper arm to the radius and ulna bones of the lower arm through a complex system of muscles, ligaments, and tendons. More than a simple hinge joint, the unique composition of these tissues allow for rotation. Elbow injuries come in many forms and can adversely affect people of all ages and lifestyles. Common elbow conditions include overuse injuries like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and tendonitis to diseases such as arthritis and cubital tunnel syndrome.
Ankle Sprain
I first met Dr. Sganga last summer and after a few visits decided to give surgery a try after a diagnosis was finally made after years and years of ongoing pain from an ankle sprain from 2010! Even though I was nervous about the surgery, I knew deep down I was in good hands. Having worked in healthcare since 2013 I must say what initially boosted my confidence in him was his genuinely caring approach. I feel like in this day and age that is so hard to come by. Thank you so much Dr. Sganga. I truly have my life back. And thank you to the rest of the team who give others like me their lives back too!

General Podiatry
As a former competitive Olympic weight lifter, Dr. Rose was drawn to podiatry because of its ability to help other athletes resolve their pain and discomfort at all different levels. He also enjoys the gratification of seeing patients return to the activities they love. Dr. Rose is the recipient of several professional medical awards and has co-authored many surgical papers.
Ankle Sprain
The human ankle consists of many small, detailed bones (tarsal bones), joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. The ankle is the joint that connects the foot to the tibia and fibula bones of the lower leg. Our ankles work in unison to help support our body weight, allow us to stand, walk or run, and move and flex in a variety of motions. The more active we are—the more we jump, bend, twist, and pivot—the more susceptible we are to obtaining an ankle injury.

Hammertoes
Dr. Sganga, my husband, William McGee, was treated by you on October 7th for a very painful hammer-toe. The procedure you did for him was outstandingly successful!!!! Thank you. I wanted you to be sure how grateful we are for your expertise.
Heel Spurs
I saw Dr. Rose for extreme pain in my right heel; he was very friendly and listened carefully to me on every visit. He diagnosed my pain immediately as a heel spur–even before the confirming X-ray. He was very thorough, leveraging many different treatments. Eventually, it seemed surgery was the best option, and he scheduled and completed it quickly. Since the surgery, I have been pain free! I am so grateful for Dr. Rose’s help–it has made a profound difference in my quality of life.
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
The human foot is a strong and complex mechanical structure consisting of dozens of bones and joints, and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The foot can be subdivided into the hindfoot, midfoot, and forefoot. All of the intricate components of our feet cooperatively work together to bear our weight and allow for locomotion. From the weekend jogger to the elite athlete, people of all ages and lifestyles are prone to injuring their feet. Even common conditions such as bunions, warts, and ingrown toenails can significantly make everyday routines difficult.
Foot Injuries
Podiatric Surgery
Dr. Sganga recently performed foot surgery on me. It is an understatement to say that the experience exceeded all expectations. The procedure was carefully and completely explained to me, including what to expect after the surgery. Dr. Sganga called me in the evening on the day of the operation to check on me. He then called again the next day to follow up on some concerns I had. He was great in the follow up visits, which were all done on time thanks to the Doctor and his staff. I can’t imagine a better experience.
