The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Goldman
  • “I have suffered from knee problems for many years. Many times, I have had to wear braces and take pain medications just to get through the day. I've spent many sleepless nights because of the pain. I have consulted with four doctors seeking a solution. I attempted to build strength in my knees by exercising. I was referred to Tri-County Orthopedics by my doctor. Dr. Goldman reviewed my records. He is the first doctor who recognized the progress that I made on my own. Ha felt that with only one knee being replaced, it would relieve the other one, thus negating the need for a second operation. My operation will take place in March. I will begin chapter 2 when it is done.”

  • “It was the best surgical experience that I could've ever had. Dr. Willis saved my life! I lived in excruciating pain for many years and Dr. Willis has brought that pain to an end. The second day after surgery, I felt like I have never felt in years. The pain that used to just grind at me, wear me down and out, and make my life miserable, was gone. Dr. Willis is my hero! I wanted to cry. I was so happy with what he had done for me. The pain was so bad that it also caused me to have depression and major stress issues. When I woke up after surgery, I felt like a new man, and I noticed that a lot of animosity had been erased. Thank you, Dr. Willis. You are the best!”
    – Adrian S.
  • “I was very anxious about having knee replacement surgery. Dr. Goldman was kind, professional, and always perfectly honest about every aspect of the surgery and my concerns. I have only positive things to say about the surgery, anesthesia, pain management, hospital stay, and most of the recovery. No one minced words about the difficulty of physical therapy, and I made it through with not too many negative feelings. I eventually will have the other knee replaced, and I will not even hesitate to call Dr. Goldman. He is a wonderful doctor.”
    – Ellen G.
  • “I was in to see Dr. Willis for an ongoing shoulder issue that I've been having. After having previously been told that I had a torn rotator cuff, Dr. Willis indicated that he wanted to confirm this with an MRI. So after having the MRI, I subsequently learned in a follow up visit with Dr. Willis that, while I did have some issues that could be improved upon by minor surgery, I did not have a rotator tear. I would be able to avoid the long/painful recovery back to a very athletic/active lifestyle (weight training, karate, running)...needless to say I was thrilled. Dr. Willis also spoke with me in a respectful peer to peer manner that was not at all the condescending tone that is often the case in medical practice.”
    – Kevin G.
  • “Positive. I like Dr. Goldman and the way he treated me.”
    – Viktor R.
  • “Great experience!!!  Best care for my daughter's torn meniscus & ACL. For such a bad injury, Dr. Willis and Brett have given Lindsay complete confidence that she'll be able to return to gymnastics. Dr. Willis even took care of a torn tendon in my finger, which I thought nothing of.”
    – Lisa R.
  • “Your office staff is very professional. For my first visit, I used your website to make an appointment during the night because of the pain I was in. It was reassuring and comforting to know I could be seen right away. I liked when I called I didn't get a recording. Actually someone answered on the first ring. I liked Dr. D’Agostini Jr. very much. He was very thorough and clear explaining my situation. The girl who took my x-ray was very pleasant also. Thank you for being there when I needed help. I have recommended two friends to Dr. D’Agostini. Thank you very much!”
    – Elizabeth G.
  • “I had hip pain for 16 years. I saw several doctors who diagnosed back problems and looked for arthritis via x-ray. Ruling out anything beyond that because of my relatively young age. Turns out, it was a tear that went untreated and grew to cause severe pain and even more severe arthritis. I was shocked when I was told I needed a hip replacement. I went to several surgeons. None gave me the sense of trust and calm that Dr. Goldman did. When I met Dr. Goldman, he showed me the x-ray and defined the problem. He also told me the surgery would change my life. I knew I had found my surgeon. I am now 4 weeks past surgery. I am so happy I do not have the deep, severe pain that I have experienced for the past 16 years. I am working hard to heal and get back to activity. I am grateful to Dr. Goldman and his staff for a rewarding experience.”
    – Jacki H.
  • “I went to Dr. D'Agostini in 2008, barely being able to walk due the knee pain. I had my double knee replacement in October of that year. My recovery was total and successful. I have had a new lease on life thanks to my surgery. I had become a virtual shut-in because of the pain. I now can be as active as all my friends, walking, gardening, feeling like a new person. I would be happy to recommend Dr. D'Agostini to anyone. He was wonderful to work with, and gave me the best possible care.”
    – Rosemary M.
  • “My story goes back to May 2008. I had bi-lateral knee replacements by the amazing Dr. Robert Goldman. It was the first major surgery for me. The only other surgery I have had was having my tonsils removed back in the day. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck, but Dr. Goldman made me feel at ease. He explained why I needed the surgery, and even showed me the X-rays so I could see for myself. He was so patient with me and answered all my questions in terms I could understand. I said he could do the surgery only if he promised NOT to put me to sleep and just give me a spinal. He said “Okay. If that's what you want, I will do that.” I was wide awake during the surgery and did not have a Valium drip or any calming drugs.  The rehab I must admit was very difficult, but I am pain-free. I can do anything, and my knees feel great. They don't even get sore when it rains! I have recommended many patients to Dr. Goldman, each having success with their surgeries. In my eyes Dr. Goldman is THE MAN!”

  • “Dr. Hunt operated on my rotator cuff in December of 2009. The surgery turned out great. I listened to his instructions and healed beautifully. Dr. Goldberger operated on my ruptured Achilles tendon in March of 2013. The surgery went great. I listened mostly to his instructions. I just came back from a tennis lesson and played two games of tennis this week. I feel great. Dr. D'Agostini treated my right knee (a little arthritis that I refused to acknowledge). The shot worked well and he was considerate to speak loudly to me so I understood everything he said. He was smiling when I thanked him for speaking in a voice I could hear. I recommend your staff, including the wonderful, friendly people in the office, who make a stressful situation better. Best regards.”
    – Geri D.
  • “Dr. Goldman has saved me from having knee replacement surgery thus far with medication and injections. Some weight loss on my part has also made a big difference with the combination I am looking forward to many years ahead without a knee replacement. I will continue to see Dr. Goldman. He has truly healed me when I could barely walk. Now I can do more, exercise, and be apart of many events without suffering for it later. The staff has been more that efficient with appointments, medication refills, and general needs. Thank you, Dr. Goldman and staff.”

  • “It was absolutely superb. Dr. D'Agostini is the best. Far beyond the accolades he has received, his personal expectations of his professional skills, demonstrates outstanding leadership in his field. As he should, he expects the highest level of medical performance of those around his patients as well as of himself. This equates to successful recovery, a shortened hospital stay, and a diminished chance of complications. He is an extremely competent, confidant, and no nonsense physician that I would want taking care of me every time. I have chosen him for each of my hip replacements. I enjoy his consultations and professional services with confidence. He is truly one of the best.”

  • “The best. There is no better, Period !!!!! This past winter, I had taken a fall on the ice and had dislocated my shoulder. My general physician referred me to Tri-County Orthopedics. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by a very professional staff, which was just amazing from the start. I was introduced to Dr. Stephen A. Hunt. From the start, he made me feel very comfortable and went over everything that was wrong. Dr. Hunt was able to relocate my shoulder. I was then advised that it would be in my best interest to have a MRI. After having my MRI, I was able to sit with Dr. Hunt. He went over everything, being very thorough and explaining to me, in detail, what was wrong with my shoulder do to the accident I had. I was advised that I could have arthroscopic surgery to repair the damage and tighten up my shoulder. Dr. Hunt told me that it would be up to me and if I had wanted, I could try physical therapy to see how it would go. I did not feel any pressure from him trying to push the surgery on me. Dr. Hunt was great. He explained the surgery from start to finish. I was told what he thought the outcome would be and what possible problems I could have. Being that I am an avid runner and weightlifter, I had many concerns on what I would be able to do and when I would be able to get back to my life. Dr. Hunt took the time to go into detail on every single question I had. I had my surgery this past March. From the second I was at the surgical center, I was greeted and taken care by the best staff. Dr. Hunt came in and met with me again before I was taken into surgery. He wanted to know if I had any last minute questions. My surgery went very well. When I was all finished, Dr. Hunt was there to tell me everything went well and looked very good. That night, when I was home resting, Dr. Hunt called me to see how I was feeling and wanted to know if I had any questions for him to answer. My first follow-up visit the next day was great again. Dr. Hunt told me how the surgery went and went over everything with me again on what the recovery process would be. I was advised on what I could and could not do. I am now in my last stage. I have one last follow-up visit this week. What I will say is thanks to Dr. Hunt. I am about 99% back to living my normal life. I feel as if I never had the accident or surgery. I have no pain and my range of motion is back. I can't thank him and his staff enough for giving me my life back. There is no better from start to finish. Dr. Hunt is more than a doctor. He is a wonderful person who is always going above and beyond for his patients. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is just truly amazing and dedicated. I wish that you please take the time to share this with him.”

  • “After sustaining an Achilles tendon rupture playing tennis, and unfortunately waiting several months to seek treatment (my fault), I consulted with Dr. Epstein. He advised me I needed an Achilles reconstruction because an Achilles tear repair usually can only be performed within a short period after the injury.  After a thorough explanation of the injury and the proposed surgery, Dr. Epstein performed the complicated reconstruction surgery in a same-day procedure.  Although I required crutches and months of physical therapy after the surgery, I have had excellent results and have resumed normal activity without a problem. Both my wife (a physical therapist) and I found Dr. Epstein to be skilled, thorough, and professional.  More than that, however, he always sat down with us during the office visits and explained everything, answering all questions in a friendly and understandable manner. Finally, the Tri-County Orthopedics facility and staff are first rate.”
    – Andrew W.
  • “The office experience was nothing less than professional. The wait time was brief, and the staff friendly. Dr. Hunt was thorough and methodical. He explained what he thought was the issue and spoke of options. I recommend them highly.”
    – Mark B.
  • “So far fantastic.  Dr. Epstein has been great at explaining in detail everything that we need to know, as well as addressing my daughter, whom is the one having ACL surgery.  He has also made it like he has all the time in the world for us, which has made us extremely comfortable.  As a parent, it's great that he and everyone at Tri-County Orthopaedic have had so much patience.”

  • “Our son had a shoulder that was always popping out from a motocross injury and making him unable to continue the sport he loves.  We saw a doctor that told us he would have to put a brace on and live with it because both physical therapy and surgery wouldn't help. My husband and I thought that was rather strange and decided it was time to find another doctor. We found Dr. Hunt. From the first visit, we knew we had found the right doctor for our son. He explained the mechanism of the injury. He understood the mechanics of our son’s sport and he gave us options.  We left that appointment deciding to finish the physical therapy that the other doctor started. Yes, the doctor that said it wouldn't help had him in physical therapy! At the end of physical therapy, we were back for our follow up with Dr. Hunt. Our son was not benefitting from the physical therapy and decided, after discussing everything with Dr. Hunt, that he wanted to proceed with surgery to correct the instability. We are now a month and a week out of surgery. Our son told Dr. Hunt at his post-op that his shoulder feels the best that it ever has! He is using his arm in normal, light, daily activity and sleeping without it popping out. Physical therapy will continue through the end of September. Adam is looking forward to returning to motocross in the fall, something he didn't think he would be able to go back to!  Thank you Dr. Hunt!”

  • “Dr. Epstein treated my 16-year-old daughter. She had a recurring problem with her ankle, which other orthopedist doctors had given up on. Dr. Epstein was the only physician who thought to take 'stress' x-rays, which is the bending her ankle where it was painful to take the image. Eureka! He found out the root of the problem and after reconstructive ligament surgery and several weeks of physio, she is a happy an active kid once more. I can't thank Dr. Epstein enough. He not only is extremely pleasant, but also always made the time for my daughter, never making us feel like another number in his waiting room. Finally, kudos to Tri-County Orthopedics. We never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen, compared to other places where the wait was always an hour plus. Thank you to all concerned.”

  • “We are very fortunate to have a hip specialist such as Dr. Hunt in our area of New Jersey. He is confident in diagnosing and he puts you at ease when communicating. He spends enough time with you when answering your questions, even if it's the same question over and over! Thanks Dr. Hunt!”
    – Mrs
  • “I just want this to be a thank you to Dr. Ginsberg for being the most professional and caring physician I've ever met.  She takes time to explain my questions in a way I can understand. She offers solid advice and is compassionate and kind each and every time I see her. Her staff reflects her professionalism and expertise. They are always helpful and polite. I am very grateful to have this wonderful doctor when I am in need of orthopedic medical treatment.”

  • “I broke my clavicle in 5 places as a result of a bicycle accident. The pain was not fun. After the surgery, the pain was gone and recovery went easily. -- Joe K.”

  • “Dr. Goldberger was very attentive and caring. He and his associates did an excellent job preparing me for surgery on my foot and the post-op attention was very thorough. I am glad that I had such a competent and dedicated doctor doing my surgery. I would recommend him and the team to anyone for their future needs.”
    – Doug J.
  • “There is only one word to describe my experience with Tri-County Orthopedics and that word is WONDERFUL. Dr. Paul Lombardi and his staff put me at ease immediately with my condition and the scheduling of my surgery. I had anterior bi-lateral hip surgery, which was successful and practically pain free. Dr. Lombardi and his assistant Oliver were at the hospital everyday to check on my status and answer all my questions with such care and concern. They made me feel like I was a VIP. (More doctors should take lessons from him). I don't know any of Dr. Lombardi's partners but, if they are anything like him, they are great too.  Thank you, thank you and thank you to an awesome doctor and his dedicated staff. They made sure I had my surgery stress free. They left me with the knowledge that I could call them and they were there for me all the time. A special extra thank you to Jeanette in scheduling and Shakina in prescriptions.”

  • “I suffered for an entire year with a stress fracture in my large toe on my left foot. You name it, I had everything from sever pain, foot brace, then foot boot, constant fever in the instep. A podiatrist just didn't do the job.  My son, who works with the group, made me make an appointment with Dr. Goldberger. The first visit was all it took. He diagnosed the proper care, orthotics, and prescription gel. I can finally walk my 2 miles a day, pain free.”
