At POA We Value Our Patients
I consider it my good fortune to have become a patient of Dr. Pressman since 2007 when he replaced my first hip. Since then, he has replaced my other hip and two shoulders with excellent results. I have obviously found him to be very skillful in addition to being a very kind and compassionate man. He takes the time to listen and explain. I don’t think there is any higher praise than referring your family and friends to a doctor. They have all felt the same way. He is such an asset to your group. I would be remiss if I did not commend Nancy, his surgical scheduler. Her efficiency and thoroughness cannot be compared. She too is a huge asset to your group. She is the best. As you can see, if I had more joints to replace - you know who would do it!

My surgery with Dr. Smith went very well…my follow-up care was done with POA. My postop visits were handled efficiently and quickly. I had no difficulties scheduling my appointments and my waiting time was minimal. Dr. Smith took his time explaining my x-rays and how my healing was doing and what to expect next. All-in-all, things moved along smoothly.

Beginning with the first visit, the entire staff was helpful and professional. The entire process, through the surgery, was also competent and all my questions were answered to allay any concerns we had. Thank you, Dr. Moskwa, for helping me get back to normal.

My wife and I call Dr. Gutowski “THE MIRACLE MAN”. The doctor’s bedside manner was really impressive. All my questions before the operations were answered. Although the procedure and rehab came with a good amount of pain, I never thought about not having the second surgery. Dr. Gutowski and his staff prepared me for the operation. I thank Dr. Gutowski for answering all my questions and easing my fears about the operation, but MOST OF ALL, I thank him for making it possible for me to walk without pain or a limp.
I suffered for years with pain until I could hardly walk. Rehab after my first knee replacement (left knee) was a little more difficult because my right knee was bad and I had difficulty standing on it. After my 2nd operation (right knee) the rehab was easier because my left knee was new, so it as much easier to stand with it. I sometimes forget how bad the pain was because my knees are like new! The last 2 years before my operations I was taking at least 800 mg of ibuprofen daily, sometimes as much as 3200 mg. Your man is a Genius. God Bless Him.

Dr. Vannozzi is an excellent surgeon. I had a very great experience with this doctor as well as his office staff. Dr. Vannozzi is very caring about his patients. He explained all procedures and, afterward, follow-up care. I cannot say enough about how wonderful and knowledgeable Dr. Vannozzi has been to me.
I had both total knees replaced about two months apart and all the support and care they provided was the best in the class. I cannot imagine going to a different office than this one. Many thanks to Dr. Vannozzi and all his highly-skilled team at Princeton Orthopaedic.

Clearly, had 3 snapped rotator cuff muscles caused by 2 great accidents while vacationing in Costa Rica. Two months later, I had my first visit with Dr. Song who immediately recognized that my shoulder was dislocated and took immediate action to prevent a need for an artificial shoulder operation. From then on, every aspect of my care was administered with consummate professionalism. I really feel your practice is first class in every way. Dr. Song is really on top of his game and the whole experience was amazing, given the seriousness of my injuries. Eight months after my operation, I was back playing beach volleyball.

I was suffering from chronic knee pain for several years. During my recent vacation to Florida, the pain was so severe that I was in a wheelchair for the entire vacation. That was it. I decided on knee surgery for relief. I always thought that recovery was a very long and painful process.
I went to see Dr. Vannozzi. He suggested a total knee replacement for my left knee. He told me that I would be able to go back to work within six to eight weeks. He assured me that I would be able to walk like a normal person again. I agreed to go ahead, and he performed the surgery.
A few hours after the surgery, the physical therapist made me walk. Such a good experience! I had physical therapy for a few weeks and went back to work after exactly eight weeks. Dr. Vannozzi gave me my life back. His bedside manner amazed me. Most importantly, he is efficient and personable.
I am so thankful to him.

I was a patient at the St. Peter’s Wound Center in Monroe, being treated for a pressure wound under my right big toe. After several unsuccessful attempts, and nearly two years of trying to heal this wound, one of the doctors I had seen on my next visit to the Wound Center, mentioned Dr. Levine to me. She said that he specialized in the foot and, at this point, he could maybe help me. She told me to make an appointment to see him, just to see what he had to say.
I did make that appointment and I saw him in July of 2014. He told me that the bone in my right big toe should be removed and that this should take care of my problem. I was nervous about having this done because I didn’t know how my foot was going to be. I told Dr. Levine that I would think about it and get back to him.
After a few visits to the Wound Center, I could see that nothing was getting better. Then, on my visit to the Wound Center in August of 2014, the doctor at the Wound Center who had checked my wound, went on to probe it and he hit bone. This was not good, because now the bone was exposed and also infected. The Wound Center doctor, phoned Dr. Levine’s office and spoke with him, asking him to see me because of the bone infection.
I did see Dr. Levine and I had no choice but to have this operation. Dr. Levine’s office scheduled my surgery for the middle of August 2014 and made arrangements for my preadmission testing. I’m glad that I didn’t have to wait long to have the surgery. My surgery was scheduled at 8 AM at Princeton Hospital as an outpatient and I was back home, in my house, by 11:30 AM – that’s really remarkable. (By the way, the Princeton Hospital is really beautiful). My follow-up care with Dr. Levine was always done in a timely manner. My pressure wound is finally healed and it only took about 1-1/2 months after the surgery. When I went back for follow-ups, I could see the incision made to remove the bone was getting smaller and smaller.
In my opinion, I think that Dr. Levine is a dedicated and caring physician. I would recommend him, in an instant, to anyone. His staff, including the office personnel, was courteous and professional. I am very pleased that Dr. Levine was my surgeon.

Dr. Song came highly recommended by my sports medicine orthopaedist. I had a bad tear in my rotator cuff, a bone spur, and he found an old tear in my biceps. He took the time to explain everything to me. I was very nervous about the procedure but the people that work at the Surgery Center, to his assistant, Ashley, to the physical therapist, Rahul, made my experience a reassuring one. Every part of the procedure went down like Dr. Song told me. I was also fortunate that Dr. Song has a coordinated effort with a highly-skilled physical therapist by the name of Rahul. He knew exactly what Dr. Song wanted done and at no point did I feel that I was ever overextended past my limitations. Now, 6 months after the procedure, I forget that I ever had a problem. I have complete mobility from not being able to raise my arm [prior]. I was very fortunate to have a skilled surgeon as Dr. Song treat me. I was so thrilled with the results that I am always dropping his name when I come across people with this common problem. I would recommend Dr. Song very highly.

My experience with Dr. Song: He is the kindest, most caring doctor. He actually saved my life. I am 76 years old and, for the last year, was in so much pain in my shoulder, I just did not want to live anymore. In August 2015, I was in the hospital with a pinched nerve and, between my shoulder and back, I was ready to give up. I went to another surgeon for my shoulder and, unfortunately, he could not operate on me until March 2016 but he gave me Dr. Song's name, so I called Dr. Song and he saw me one week later. After reading my MRI, he sat down and talked to me. He said my shoulder was bone-on-bone and, of course, I also have arthritis. The minute I saw him, I knew this was my doctor to help me. To see Dr. Song, I had so much trust in him I was anxious for him to operate on me so, October 14, I went to the hospital. I cannot describe what a wonderful surgeon and person he is. I am still in therapy but I can do everything that I did before. To me, he is like a godsend. I just adore him, trust him, and love him for the help he gave me. I thought I was too old for this operation, but he proved me wrong. I am telling all my friends who have shoulder problems to see Dr. Song. For me, he is the only doctor to go to. I “love” Dr. Song.
