Andrew H. Turtel, M.D. | Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon​

 

​

I am a fellowship trained, board certified orthopedic surgeonspecializing in arthroscopic surgery and sports medicine. 

 

Throughout my career I have taken care of many athletes, both professional and "weekend warriors". I have had the opportunity to deal with all ages and types of patients and athletes. In the recent past I was the team physician for the New Jersey Nets basketball team, the New York Islanders Hockey team, and the Metrostar's soccer club. During the Soccer World Cup Tournament in 1994, I was in charge doping/drug control for the matches played at the New Jersey Meadowlands Stadium.

 

As important, my practice is in the same community where my family and I live. So, it is very important that I remain active in the community. I've known some of my patients for years before they visited my office.

 

I have coached little league baseball programs for the last 10 years, and my practice provided volunteer medical services to those unable to afford the care they needed. These activities introduced us to many local families and young athletes in the community - this in turn allowed me to gain a better understanding of our community's medical needs.
