Meet Paul Tortland, DO, FAOASM
Dr. Paul Tortland founded Valley Sports Physicians & Orthopedic Medicine in 1995 upon the completion of his Sports Medicine Fellowship, and he has been a leader and pioneer in the Connecticut medical profession since.

Where Did You Study Sports Medicine?
Dr. Tortland 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, he returned to Maine for his residency at UNCEOM, and then he undertook a fellowship in Sports Medicine at Sports Care/The Toledo Hospital. He and his wife then returned to their native Connecticut to establish his practice.

Of course, most of his free time is dedicated to his lovely wife and three children.
