Orthopedics

Whether it's a minor injury,or a major impairment, many Americans will require orthopedic care at some point in their lives.

When they do, they can turn to Atlantic Orthopedic Institute for nationally-recognized, multidisciplinary treatments that span pre-surgical education through post-operative rehabilitation.

In fact, Morristown Medical Center was ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the 50 best hospitals in the nation for orthopedics.

For children with musculoskeletal impairments, our orthopedic specialists collaborate with pediatricians from Atlantic Health System Children's Health and those on staff at Goryeb Children’s Hospital in all aspects of orthopedic care.
