“This by far exceeded any expectations I had before entering the hospital not one incident or staff member was less than 'excellent.' Robert Wood Johnson Hospital made a good experience out of what an u unpleasant experience it could have been. Bravo!!”

"Excellent care by all involved."

"The Joint Replacement team anticipated all my concerns. Exceptionally kind, caring and supportive from pre-admission through surgery, recovery and rehab. Pain management was critical and I have not been in any pain. Every person that I met conducted their business with me with a smile. I could not be more pleased. They were a fantastic team."
Marie F.

"A special thanks to my daughter for recommending the Joint Center. Phil Colombrita has been wonderful and instrumental in making the whole thing materialize and even coaching when necessary. The staff has been wonderful: Nora, Magda, Shirley, Mary Kate, Jaime, Joy, Mary, Harpreet and all the others whose names I may have forgotten. This was truly a team effort. Everybody has been fabulous."

"I am very happy with my progress to date. I want you to know that you have a great staff. I cannot express enough to you how pleased I am and how good I feel about my stay."
George S.

"My recovery has been phenomenal. I am now able to walk and to do so without the limp that I had for more than 20 years!
Although I had to do the physical work myself, I know that my recovery was a team effort. The information I received prior to the surgery, as well as the assistance of everyone connected with the Joint Replacement Center, helped me. My husband was not quite so nervous once he knew how to help me at home. Everyone was available with a smile to answer questions, ease concerns and just reassure me, not only while I was in the hospital, but when I returned home."
Barbara S., knee replacement patient

"I thought the program overall was great. I never felt left out of what was needed to know about the operation or physical therapy."

"The Program is very good…The hospital staff are wonderful and very personable. Physical therapy staff are very good and do a great job. (Medical Director David Rojer) Dr. Rojer is an excellent doctor."

"Whatever you're doing keep it up! Great job."

"I was very apprehensive about this hip replacement or entering the hospital. However, the whole Joint Replacement Center soon put me at ease and made me feel I could do this. Not once during my stay did I ever see a grouch face. Everyone was up and made me feel up. Thank you."

"The holiday of Thanksgiving has passed but giving thanks is not limited to a Thursday turkey dinner once a year. I'm writing to say thank you to you and your entire staff.
I had a knee replacement in April and the other knee replaced three weeks ago in your Joint Replacement Center. Both surgeries were successful and I can walk without pain. This statement cannot be limited to the operating room doctors, anesthesioligst, nurses.
