Dr. James Wittig, MD

I couldn’t be happier with the service and support I recently received from Dr. Wittig and his team. Although my case turned out to be rather simple, he helped guide me and my family through a time of uncertainty. He answered every question we had with respect and intention. He truly cares for his patients - I know as he held my hand while assuring me all would be ok before we went into surgery. As great as Dr Wittig is, he has surrounded himself with an equally outstanding team. This support is just as important to the skill and competence of your surgeon. From the receptionists, to my care manager all the way to his PAs and nurse - they all provided excellent service and care. All my questions were expeditiously answered in great detail and in a timely manner. Even a medical coding issue was resolved alleviating any outstanding bill issues. I couldn’t recommend Dr Wittig and his team enough. He is an exceptional person and his team is wonderful. I’m forever grateful!

Dr. Wittig did an ordinary hip replacement. Not only was he and his staff indifferent to the many complications I had. A blood clot was ignored until I demanded a Doppler test, my hip dislocated 4 times. After seeing another doctor, I was told Dr. Wittig did not cover the ball in the hip. He covered 49%. Between the two surgeries (hip and revision), nerves became involved and now I cannot walk.

Dr wittig, is a God send, from heaven to save people like me, I am still recovering from surgery, but one thing I know is that this man have safe my life, my surgery was on the 20 of this month, 5 star Doctor

Dr. Wittig operated on me to remove a huge tumor in my pelvic bone. I will forever be thankful for his positive attitude, correct diagnosis, bedside manner, and his surgical gift and talent.

The absolutely best surgeon! He saved my life and my limbs!

Dr Wittig removed a mass from my shoulder that turned out to be benign, repaired a tear, and removed a cyst from my shoulder bone. Almost five months later and I’m almost fully functional with help of physical therapy. No problems at all during recovery. He is very personable and competent and his staff is wonderful, especially his PA, Connie Chong and PA-C, Jillian Thomas. They were all highly accessible and responsive to my questions and concerns, night or day. I can most confidently recommend Dr Wittig to anyone needing an orthopedic oncologist.

Awful experience. Hip Surgery left me with one leg 1 1/2" shorter than the other. Wittig denied it profusely, despite 3 other doctors confirming it. Dr. never came to see me after surgery, and wouldnt see me during follow ups. His PA was very nice but could never answer any questions so I finally had to "insist" on him seeing me. Thanks to Dr Wittig, I had to get another surgery with a different/better doctor to make my legs even again. AVOID!!!

Dr. Wittig is the best physician I have ever encountered. An MRI of my 20-year old daughter indicated a sarcoma (cancer) in her shoulder. Living in NYC, we were referred to a NYC orthopedic oncologist. We could not get even a consultation for a month. I came across Dr. Wittig’s name late on a Friday evening and emailed him my daughter’s MRI report. Early Saturday morning, he had already responded to my message and scheduled an appointment for Monday — even though he was supposed to be on vacation. He scheduled surgery within a few weeks and we received great news that our daughter’s tumor was benign. Dr. Wittig is surrounded by a team that is extremely caring and competent.

I have been under Dr. Wittig’s and his PA Ms. Connie Chong’s care for two years for imaging and observation of what fortunately has turned out to be a benign growth that will not require surgical intervention. I cannot adequately express how high the level of care has been. It is simply exemplary and all physicians in this country should strive to meet the high standards of compassionate and effective care that Dr. Wittig and Ms. Chong maintain. They are the best!!!!

My experience with Dr. Wittig was amazing. He made me feel so comfortable from the time he walked into the exam room. I knew immediately that I was in good hands. My surgery went very well, and his bedside manner was amazing. His staff is just as amazing as he is, very helpful in the office and on the phone. I could not have asked for a better Doctor.

April 2018 I walked into my primary care physician and was dx. With a rare bone cancer/tumor Chondrosarcoma,never heard of that word in all my 46 years even with my medical background. I googled the dx on you tube and found Dr.James Wittig and god directed me straight to his ofc. The day My family and I met Dr.Wittig was the day I knew I was in great hands. THIS MAN IS ABOVE AND BEYOND AN EXCELLENT EXCEPTIONAL ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON. Dr.Wittig and his team are all heaven sent! This man is AMAZING!!!

I have been going to Dr. Wittig since 2015 for surgery and follow-up treatment for a soft tissue sarcoma. This is Dr. Wittig's specialty and I could not be in better hands. He is an amazing surgeon and gifted doctor. Consider yourself lucky if you are one of his patients as you will receive the finest, competent, professional and compassionate care from both Dr. Wittig and his staff. An excellent doctor in every respect.

Updating previous review, the doctor failed to obtain clean margins after my resection, the pathologist said I was clear but was either incompetent or just boosting wittigs numbers. When fox chase got my slides they said there was obvious evidence of residual disease. They changed my treatment based on a report of “ successful surgery” and advised survallience by the time they caught the mistake it was too late cancer spread to my lungs. So ty dr wittig and your team for failing every aspect.

Dr. Wittig is a highly skilled and most humane and caring physician. My first consultation was a reassuring experience. Though he explained that the rather rare and problematic disease affecting my knee would require two consecutive surgeries to repair, he radiated confidence and compassion. He took time to get to know me as a person. The day after my second surgery, he drove over half an hour from his home to the hospital specifically to see how I was faring. Dr. Wittig is the best!

Dr. Wittig's passion for helping his patients is simply unparalleled. He is genuinely kind and caring, as he demonstrated by completely addressing my concerns and compassionately relating to my situation. My surgery was significant, but I was up and walking the next day and back at the gym 5 weeks later. This is further testament to Dr. Wittig's skill. He saved my leg and my life, and I will continue to recommend him to friends and loved ones.

I can not say enough about Dr. Wittig and his staff. He is kind , generous and patient with his time and his knowledge. He and his staff provided me with a calm , caring and loving environment to tackle my stage 3 sarcoma.(of which I did twice ;) EVERYONE on the staff are sublime and are always willing to go the extra distance to secure an appt, sit down and chat , deal with insurance issues etc....they are impecciably organized and efficent. I am lucky to have them as my team.I highly reccomend

My husband, Tom Artin, had given up hope after years of suffering from a large cell tumor. No other surgeons would operate given the delicacy and intricacy of the surgery required to remove a PVNS tumor embedded in his right knee and leg. Dr. Wittig immediately understood the diagnosis, scheduled two surgeries, completely removed the tumor (two operations), replaced the knee, and rebuilt Tom's leg. In less than three months, Tom is completely healed! Amazing.

Dr James Wittig is "THE" Orthopedic Oncologist to have to preform the delicate and complicated surgery on my Husband. Dr Wittigs's experience and knowledge saved Mike's leg and being at HUMC gave us the ability to be referred to the best in oncology at the John Theurer Cancer center. Dr Wittig is not only THE BEST in his field of surgery but he is down to earth and gives you the time you need to discuss your health and is interested in YOU as a person, All staff members will be there for YOU

Dr. Wittig is remarkable! I have a reoccurring intramuscular lipoma that had been removed twice by other surgeons. When It returned the third time, I found Dr. Wittig and discussed my situation. He explained exactly what he would do and scheduled me quickly. This time surgery was quicker and less painful. Dr. Wittig made me feel confident and secure, and he was right! Follow up care and my time in Hackensack Hospital was amazing! So lucky to find him! Office staff is amazing anc caring, too!

My fiancé had a fractured humerus. Wittig did not examine him for weeks. Sent his PAs. Wittig did NOT operate on fracture for THREE WEEKS. He went on vacation. Represented would operate on his return. Then bumped him 3x!!! We asked PA to have Wittig come to hospital room after he postponed surgery 3D time. NEVER came to room. NEVER called.
