At POA We Value Our Patients
I have been a patient of Dr. Song's for over 3 years. I first started seeing him for shoulder pain in both of my shoulders due to osteoarthritis. He told me he could give me corticosteroid injections to help me with the pain but, in time, I would need to have shoulder replacement surgery. I received the cortisone injections for several years but, in time, they stopped helping with the pain I was experiencing. I then had to decide whether to move forward with shoulder replacement surgery. After talking with Dr. Song several times about the shoulder replacement procedure, he explained to me that the surgery was not as complicated as I had envisioned. I also spoke to Ashley, Dr. Song's PA, and she had nothing but positive things to say about the procedure which helped with my decision to go forward with the surgery. The office staff was very helpful in helping me set up my preadmission testing and the surgery date. When my surgery was over, I was immediately pain-free. After 10 weeks of physical therapy, I was able to move my arm and my shoulder as I should normally and I was pain-free. It has been just over a year since my first shoulder replacement surgery. I am doing great. I had my other shoulder replaced in January with no regrets and no more pain thanks to Dr. Song.

My experience with Dr. Abrams and his staff was 100% positive. Dr. Abrams has all of the best qualities you could hope for in a doctor: expertise and a genuine kind caring manner. I hope to never have surgery again, but if I do, it will most definitely be with Dr. Abrams.

I would just like to let you know Dr. Mizrachi how lucky I am to have you for my doctor, after having had a very bad experience with a prior doctor. I know that it will take a while for my condition to improve. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful attitude you have towards me, that I feel very optimistic that my disc and back problems will get better with all help and advice towards me.
You have become one of the biggest names around my family and friends. I am always telling everyone what a wonderful person you are and that I have nothing but respect and admiration for you. I hope that you have continued success with your practice and in all things that life will come your way.
To say thank you is not enough to try to explain how I feel about you. I wish for the best of everything for you: good health and a good life. I am always praying for the best of everything for you. You make me feel like I have a second home when I visit your office.

After having increased shoulder pain and limited use and mobility of my right arm, I had the shoulder replacement surgery performed by Dr. Song. My appointments prior to and after surgery were easily made and the office and nursing staff were always pleasant and helpful. During my appointment, Dr. Song thoroughly explained the surgery he would perform and I felt very comfortable and reassured. After surgery, my pain and discomfort were minimal. I had my arm in a sling for 5 weeks and did my daily exercises as instructed. I then started PT 6 weeks after my surgery 3 times a week for 8 weeks. I am now able to perform all my daily activities and have no pain or discomfort. I am so pleased I had the surgery done and I highly recommend Dr. Song to anyone considering surgery of this kind.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. Nazarian has been to me. He has successfully fixed my back issues. I was in constant pain and losing all feeling and movement in my left leg.
Dr. Nazarian is a caring, personable doctor who listened and supported me when I needed encouragement and the confidence Dr. Nazarian would fix my problem. More doctors should have such a great doctor/patient relationship. He is simply the BEST.
I have also had surgeries with Dr. Gutowski, another doctor about whom I have many good things to say. I have, and will continue to recommend Dr. Nazarian and Dr. Gutowski every time.

I can walk, jump, and run the Philly half-marathon thanks to Dr. Stuart Levine. In July of 2000, I had a traumatic accident. I fell off a ladder over 20 feet high and I landed standing straight up! My left leg took all the impact and I had a compound fracture and broke both bones (tib and fib).
Over the course of a year, I had many surgeries to repair and mend the bones, including lots of physical therapy and gym time. By 2001, I was back in the field and fully functioning as a technician doing Appliance Repair.
The experience was gruesome, but with the persistence, professionalism and loving care of Dr. Levine and his staff, I survived this dark period of time in my life. It will never be forgotten! If you find yourself in need of a top-notch orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Stuart Levine and his team should be your first call!

Over the last few years, I have needed three separate and different surgical procedures on my right foot, and my wife has had one procedure. The Achilles tendon on my right foot had become inflamed, my big toe first joint became worn out, and my small toe developed a hammertoe. My wife had what is called a Morton neuroma, a growth of nerve tissue between toes. So, you might say that we have had a lot of experience with Dr. Hasan and that she has become perhaps more familiar with our feet than even a podiatric surgeon would desire.
We both have been very pleased with the quality of care that we receive from Dr. Hasan, as well as the Princeton Orthopaedic staff, the physical therapy staff at the Princeton Avenue and Route 206 offices, and of course the hospital staff during the surgery. During the course of treatment for each of our issues, Dr. Hasan explained what was wrong, and she clearly outlined the possible courses of action. While surgery is probably no one’s favorite choice, when one cannot walk without pain on every step, it is probably the only choice. We were able to schedule this quickly, and the procedures were thankfully completed without any issues.
After surgery, care is important. Changing casts and dressings and dealing with post-recovery pain and physical therapy was relatively drama-free. The physical therapists were patient and effective. So,do we want to have more foot surgeries? no, but I know where to go if I need more.

I wish to extend my sincere compliments to Dr. Levine and his staff for the excellent care given to me when I broke my ankle in three places.The accident was on a Saturday, when I was out of town. Dr. Levine’s office adjusted everyone’s schedule so I could be seen Monday morning at 9:15 followed by surgery on Friday.
Dr. Levine was complete in his explanation of the breaks, his intended procedures, and the postoperative results. I always felt I was receiving the most professional care in the most sympathetic way possible. I would recommend Dr. Levine and his staff, so competently supported by Ms. Kelly Little, PA, to anyone with the serious injury I suffered last May.

Having my knees replaced was the best thing I ever did. Dr. Vannozzi always took the time to talk to me and didn’t dismiss my issues because I am overweight. The surgery was almost painless, as far as my recovery. I had one knee done and, two months later, the second knee. They were a little different in my recovery – Dr. Vannozzi told me that would most likely be true. I can go anywhere with my children and grandchildren. Gram doesn’t have to find a bench any longer!
