Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor
Listens to your concerns. Gives options and explains them. He is very conservative in treatments and isn't jumping to surgery right away unless absolutely necessary.

Confident and Reassuring
Dr TJ performed rotator cuff surgery on me in 2023 and it went great and I was back at 100%. I unfortunately have recently torn my meniscus and after meeting with him today, he encouraged me to continue with physical therapy and gave me a Cortizone shot. He is very knowledgeable and patient. Great asset to Rothman!

Excellent surgeon.
I recently had IT band release surgery on my left knee performed by Dr. TJ. From the very first consultation, Dr. TJ was incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and attentive, taking the time to explain the procedure and answer all my questions. His skill and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, and I felt completely confident in his care.Dr. TJ’s entire team was equally outstanding—professional, caring, and supportive every step of the way. Their kindness and dedication made my experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of expert orthopedic care

Likely? I already have several times
Dr. TJ's staff are polite and extremely accommodating and personable. Knowing thus urgentcy of this current injury, his clinical assistance helped coordinate my radiological testing and subsequent office visit. Dr. TJ's initial assessment was spot on, but he insisted on further testing to confirm his opinion. Prior to leaving my appointment Dr. TJ provided me with a specific exercise regimen that would strengthen my injury location.

Fantastic Doctor
I saw Dr. TJ for my tear rotator cuff. He fully explained to me all the options on how to proceed. At the end, I decided to have surgery to repair my tear and I am glad I did with Dr. Tj. Surgery went well and now I am taking my PT. For anyone out there athletes, senior, anyone, that have any orthopedic issues, do yourself a favor and see Dr. TJ. You will not regret it.

Dr. TJ is a very knowledgeable, caring doctor.
My experience with Dr. TJ was wonderful! I didn’t have to wait for him to come into the exam room. He explained my MRI results and what my treatment options were, answering all my questions completely. He has a great personality, I’m so happy to have chosen him for my doctor. Rothman is so convenient for me to go to, it’s also very well run by the friendliest employees who are excellent at scheduling their appointments. Thank you Dr. TJ and Rothman!
