The new Comprehensive Orthopaedics in Connecticut likely couldn’t be truer to its name: it takes into account a patient’s state of emotion.
The state-of-the-art medical practice has the newest diagnostic imagery innovations, including an MRI, offers various kinds of physical therapy and has an urgent care center where patients are seen off hours without an appointment.
“The thinking is we want to be a one-stop shop,” said orthopaedic surgeon and managing partner Dr. Adam Ferguson.
The 24,000-square-foot facility is Southington at 601 N. Main Street and recently celebrated with a grand opening.
They have other offices in Wallingford, Meriden, and Cheshire.

Dr. Aaron Covey, managing physician of Comprehensive Orthopaedics & Musculoskeletal Care, said it is “an exciting milestone for our practice and the patients we serve.”
“This new facility was thoughtfully designed to provide patients with a seamless healthcare experience, from diagnosis and treatment to rehabilitation and recovery. By bringing advanced technology, urgent orthopaedic care, imaging, and physical therapy together under one roof, we’re able to deliver more convenient, efficient, and comprehensive care than ever before,” he said.
Beyond the medical care, a lot of thought was put into creating a soothing space for patients, Ferguson said.
“Inside is a point of pride,” he said. “It does not feel like a conventional doctor’s office. It’s warm, inviting, a moment of calm and Zen before you see a doctor.”
He said the lights are soft, the colors are warm and while decorated, they tried to “minimize excessive stimuli.”
The ceilings are open so, “there’s a sense of space,” he said, and there are no glass or other barriers to the front desk.
There’s also coffee and tea in the waiting room.

“So people feel like they’re in a place they wanted to be, as opposed to a place they had to be at,” Ferguson said.
He said all the exam rooms have a window to the outside and are painted in warm tones.
The location is home to Ortho OUCH Urgent Care, Comprehensive Orthopaedics’ walk-in orthopaedic urgent care service, available seven days a week for acute injuries and musculoskeletal issues. Patients have access to on-site X-ray services, casting, bracing, and orthopaedic evaluations without need for an appointment, so an alternative to emergency room visits for some orthopaedic injuries, a spokesperson said.

“For added convenience and continuity of care, the facility also includes a modern physical therapy and rehabilitation gym, allowing patients to work closely with therapists and physicians throughout every stage of recovery,” a spokesperson said.
