Mission & Core Values
Modern Orthopaedics of New Jersey is a group of leading board-certified experts in the field of orthopedic surgery and believe that a meaningful doctor-patient relationship is the key to providing excellent care.
This means taking time to listen, explain treatment plans clearly, and develop customized programs to make patients active partners in their own care. Our surgeons are each highly specialized and fellowship-trained in the different areas of the body including hand & wrist, shoulder & elbow, sports medicine, hip and knee, and orthopedic trauma.
Precision-Driven Orthopedic Care
At Modern Orthopedics of NJ, we go beyond basic treatment—we focus on accurate diagnostics, cutting-edge technology, and evidence-based solutions to provide the best possible outcomes. Our team specializes in both surgical and non-surgical approaches, ensuring personalized care for every patient.
Advanced Non-Surgical Solutions
Surgery isn’t always the first or only option. We offer innovative, non-invasive treatments like regenerative medicine, ultrasound-guided injections, and physical therapy to help patients regain mobility and reduce pain—without the need for surgery.
Which surgical procedures do you specialize in?
Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons perform a broad spectrum of procedures—from minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries to complex joint reconstructions. We tailor our surgical approach to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring optimal outcomes and a focus on rapid recovery.
Surgical Vs. Non-surgical Treatments?
We take a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to care. After an in-depth diagnostic evaluation and clinical assessment, our team collaborates to develop a personalized treatment plan. We consider factors such as the severity of the condition, lifestyle demands, and overall health to recommend the most effective surgical or non-surgical option.
What sets your practice apart in orthopedic care?
Our practice is distinguished by its dual commitment to precision diagnostics and a full spectrum of treatment options—both surgical and non-surgical. By integrating advanced technology with personalized care plans and ongoing patient education, we ensure that every patient receives the highest standard of orthopedic treatment tailored to their individual needs.
