Elimination of pain and restoring an independent lifestyle is the number one goal of the practice. Many patients who come through our doors have lived with pain for a long period of time, so finding the best way to alleviate pain becomes the focus.
Surgery is considered after more conservative treatments have been exhausted. We believe that preparation for surgery is key to a speedy recovery. To that end, the Nutley Orthopaedic Group’s staff strives to makes patients both comfortable and knowledgeable about their surgery, a distinct advantage in the recuperation process.
The Nutley Orthopaedic Group will review your upcoming surgery with you prior to hospital admission. You will also have the opportunity to speak with other patients who have had a similar surgery. Any questions or anxiety about insurance coverage and payments are also addressed prior to any surgical procedure.
