The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Epstein
- “ALL GOOD! -- John B.”– John
- “My first experience with Tri-County was with Dr. Robert Goldman. I needed bilateral knee replacements. Everyone was trying to talk me into going into New York to have it done. I have never had an operaton in my entire life, and I was really scared. Then through word of mouth, I heard about Dr. Goldman—they said he was 'the man.' My daughter who is an OT also told me about Dr. Goldman. I made the appointment, he took tests, showed me the films, and explained to me why I needed to have both knees replaced at the same time. I felt very comfortable speaking with Dr. Goldman as he explained in detail about the surgery and the PT I would need after the surgery. Dr. Goldman performed the surgery and worked very hard doing the therapy, which was very painful. I am able to do anything without having the awful pain in my knees. The New York doctors can't hold a candle to Dr. Goldman. He truly is 'the man'! There is no better orthopedic practice anywhere that is better than Tri-County! --Arlene B.”– Arlene
- “I saw Dr. Hunt because of a labral tear in my hip. At my first appointment, I did have to wait awhile to be seen. Dr. Hunt was apologetic and did not rush my appointment. We went over my options and my husband, and I decided surgery would be my best option. Two weeks later, I had my surgery and Dr. Hunt was caring and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Hunt saw me in recovery and said surgery went well and that he would see me the next day at my post-op visit. Dr. Hunt is a very caring and in my opinion excellent doctor. I would recommend him to everyone who has orthopedic issues. I am 12-days post op today and feeling stronger everyday. --Hope L.”– Hope
- “Great staff. The best and only doctor I would see when it comes to knees. He’s the best! -- Robert S.”– Robert
- “I went to your office expecting bad news from the MRI report, but when I met with Dr. McBride and he examined and reviewed my case. I was very impressed with him and his recommendation to treat. He said to try his treat for two weeks and I should feel better. It has been two weeks and it has improved. I have told all my friends if they ever need a great doctor I have the place to go. I again would like to thank Dr. McBride and his staff. -- Charles R.”– Charles
- “Came in for a fractured right hand and saw Dr. McBride. He was very helpful and understands my injury. The treatment was outstanding. -- Theodore S.”– Theodore
- “Tri-County is a beautiful place. Everyone there is pleasant and smiling. Dr. McBride has one of the best bedside manners that I have dealt with, and it seems for a surgeon, that is rare. I never seem to have to ask a question...He explains everything you need to know about your care and recovery. Thank you to everyone there. --Troy G.”– Troy
- “The visit went well. Everything was explained to me, and I was shown all X-ray and MRI information. Everything was explained in plain language so I knew exactly what was going to happen. The surgery went as planned and the after-care was good. --Vincent R.”– Vincent
- “I am now under the care of Dr. Willis for my shoulder due to an automobile accident. Dr. Willis explains everything thoroughly in laymen's terms and answers all my questions, no matter how many I have. In fact, on Friday, I have an appointment with Dr. Willis to go over the results of my tests. I would go no where else but Tri-County. They are the best! --Arlene B.”– Arlene
- “After being examined by two orthopedic surgeons in my area, I was completely discouraged, as they told me that they would not recommend an operation to repair my right distal tendon. Their reason was that I had waited too long after the injury occurred (six months). Then my daughter suffered a ski accident, which resulted in a torn ACL. She was referred to Dr. Andrew Willis, and shortly after seeing him, he operated and repaired her ACL. I decided to travel 80 miles to see Dr. Willis. After a quick X-ray, he diagnosed my injury as a chronic distal tendon rupture. He talked with me at great length and explained the severity of the injury and what he could do to help me. He exuded an air of confidence and took the time to answer my questions—he even showed me pictures of the operation prior to leaving his office. Two weeks later I had the operation, and the only word I can say to describe the experience is fantastic! Dr. Willis was professional, well-schooled in this procedure, and gave me a sense of confidence in the operation. It has been 3 weeks since my operation, and my bicep muscle is in its original position. I've had absolutely no pain after the operation, and I am now able to move my arm with full extension. I truly feel that Dr. Willis is an outstanding surgeon—I will always be grateful to him for all that he has done for my daughter and I. --Paul P.”– Paul
- “I consulted Dr. Colizza for a diagnosis with regard to pain in my right hip. After having X-rays taken, he reviewed them with me and presented me with treatment options. I opted for hip replacement surgery. Dr. Colizza anticipated and answered all my questions about the procedure, where it would be performed, what type of anesthesia would be used, how long I would be in the hospital, the type of after-care he recommended, etc. He was so thorough that I felt I would be in good hands. I had previously looked up his credentials, and found that he is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with 20 years of experience. He then referred me to one of his staff members who told me she would send me a packet of information detailing the clearances I would need prior to the surgery. She scheduled the surgery date and sent me the information I needed. She was very friendly and efficient, and in a subsequent phone conversation answered some additional questions, which had occurred to me. -- Diana C.”– Diana
- “My experience with Dr. Epstein began when I tore my rotator cuff in my left shoulder. Initially, the hospital diagnosed the injury to my collar bone but I was referred to Dr. Epstein, and he identified the injury as the rotator cuff. At this point, he prescibed a conservative route with physical therapy. This didn't help so I got an MRI and this visually indicated how severe the tear was. Dr. Epstein went over the procedure to repair the tear in complete detail and recomended that I have the surgery. In order to acheive the best results, Dr. Epstein laid out a detailed program for PT to adhere to and reviewed my progress every step of the way, including office visits. I've reached the point where I consider myself back to where I was before my injury. Like Dr. Epstein told me: You still have a lot of life ahead of you, and it only makes sense that you would want to be able to live your life to the fullest that you possibly can.' I am truly glad that I follwed his advice and would gladly refer this orthopedic practice to anyone who has a need to make themselves whole again. Thank you, Dr. Epstein. --Robert F.”– Robert
- “I was able to easily make an appointment with Dr. Ginsberg. She saw me promptly. She gave me a thorough exam; ordered and read my X-ray; diagnosed and clearly explained the bursitis in my hip; and prescribed physical therapy. I am progressing slowly, but surely. Thank you, Dr. Ginsberg. I recommend her to everyone.”– Marion P.
- “I could not have been any more satisfied with my physician. She took the time to explain what was the cause and the treatment for the knee pain. She made me feel very comfortable and showed how and why I was having the pain. She showed me the x-rays and pointed out different parts of the knee so I could understand. I would recommend her to anyone who I talk with.”– Donna M.
- “This was one of the best experiences I have ever had with any medical office. The staff were polite, helpful, and punctual. My physician was kind. I would recommend them to anyone.”– Justin M.
- “I had a great experience with Dr. Ginsberg. I felt I was a human, not just a number (which is the more normal procedure in very busy doctors' offices). I would definitely recommend my doctor as I had a great experience right in the middle of my own busy day—especially when I had to return to work after my visit.”– Concepta S.
- “I twisted my knee that I had hurt 30 years earlier. I suffered with swelling and pain and saw two doctors for two and a half years without relief. I became a couch potato, put on weight, stopped dancing, and was very unhappy. Dr. Ginsberg fixed me up in one visit with a shot. I can hike now for hours, and I walk every day. Last Saturday I danced for half a night. I am very grateful for my treatment and for the difference she made in my life after other treatments failed. Thank you.”– Mark S.
- ““I thought the office and staff was very nice. I went for a second opinion on an ankle injury and I was pleased with what the doctor said and how I was treated, as well as, his medical assistant and physicians assistant.”-- Kiera H.”– Kiera
- “I have never met a more friendly and helpful staff!”– Jacob S.
- ““Excellent experience from the first phone call to end of the appointment. Everyone was pleasant and efficient. Office was immaculate. Dr. Goldberger was knowledgeable and quickly solved my problem. Hope I don't need to come back, but if ever do, I know it will be a positive experience.”-- Maureen R.”– Maureen
- “After not being listened to multiple times and told my ankle was as good as it was going to get by a doctor from another orthopedic group, I made an appointment for a second opinion at Tri-County Orthopedics. Thank God I did. I was listened to, looked directly in my eyes, shown my x-rays, and results were discussed with me. Then three options were discussed for treatment and I choose the best for me. I feel a much better outcome will result with my care with Dr. Goldberger, and I will walk again without aid, compete again with my Masters swimming, and finally get to swim in the National championships I missed last year from this injury. The office is clean, very professionally ran, and the staff were knowledgeable and polite. Even though this will be a hard road again, I feel that I am very good hands.”– Meredith L.
- ““After suffering from a broken ankle in three places and being treated improperly by another medical group, Dr. Goldberger came through with the answer almost one year ago. This April 20th my new Scandinavia ankle (the S.T.A.R) will be one year old in my left ankle joint. I am walking like nothing happened prior to the medical botched surgery of three years ago. Ankle Replacements are not heard of like a hip or a knee replacement, but with Dr. Goldberger's training and knowledge nothing is impossible. It is great to be able to move around, get up from a sitting position and walk a great distance without the terrible pain. I am so glad that he and I agreed to have this surgery. I was his first patient with the S.T.A.R implant - I don't regret one day of it. Being the age of 53 he gave me a second chance of being active again. Thank you!”-- Mary Beth C.”– Mary
- “My husband Paul (Brad) had been living with severe hip and back pain for years. Brad felt it was occupationally related from years working in construction. Brad's quality of life was diminishing as he could no longer do activities that he enjoyed like riding a bike or hiking. He could not stand for long periods or sleep at night. Dr. Goldman has given Brad the ability to enjoy life again and engage in all the physical activities that he once did. Brad had one hip replaced the end of September 2012 and headed for a trip to Hawaii the end of October. (I might add that he was 66 at the time.) The end of March 2013 Brad had his second hip replaced by Dr. Goldman and was active within a month. He has recently been hiking sections of the Appalacian trail and I'm sure he appreciates being able to do this type of activity again. I am so grateful for all the superb care Brad received with Dr. Goldman and all his staff. Thanks to all of them my husband is pain free, active and happy. --Jeanne H.”– Jeanne
- “The initial visit was excellent. My appointment was right on time, and I had gotten my X-rays and spoke with Dr. Goldman in less than 40 minutes. Overall, the experience so far has been good. I'm currently waiting to hear back on how my MRI looked. Just hoping it does take too long, kind of getting tired of hobbling around. I would defenitly recommend this facility to family and friends.”– John H.
- “I would like to say thank you to Dr. Robert T. Goldman for his wonderful work. I got my first hip replaced on August 6, 2000 and my second hip replaced on November 12, 2000. I am still working and walking perfect thanks to you. I am currently living in Spain and every time I visit any doctor for a checkup, all of them say, you have done a wonderful job. They ask me who my doctor was for the procedures and my answer is Dr. Robert T. Goldman at Tri-County Orthopedics in New Jersey. I am doing great at the age of 40. I still play soccer and basketball, swim, bike, and walk.”– Johnny M.
