Services

Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery treats joint injuries using small incisions and a camera for precision. Ideal for knee, hip, and shoulder conditions like torn ligaments or cartilage damage, this procedure reduces scarring, pain, and recovery time. Patients often return to daily activities within a week, with physical therapy aiding full rehabilitation. Our surgeons specialize in arthroscopic techniques for athletes and active individuals.

Joint Replacements

Joint replacement surgery replaces damaged joints with prosthetics to restore function and alleviate pain. We offer traditional and robotic-assisted options for knees, hips, shoulders, and ankles. Candidates include those with arthritis or severe joint degeneration unresponsive to non-surgical treatments. Robotic assistance enhances implant accuracy, improving long-term outcomes and recovery times.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery enhances precision during joint replacements using 3D imaging and real-time guidance. This minimally invasive approach reduces blood loss, infection risk, and hospital stays. Ideal for knee and hip replacements, it allows customized implant placement tailored to the patient's anatomy, ensuring optimal joint function and durability.

Spine Surgery

Spine surgery addresses chronic back pain from herniated discs, sciatica, or spinal stenosis. Procedures like lumbar decompression relieve nerve pressure, reducing pain and numbness. We prioritize non-surgical treatments first but offer surgical options for severe cases. Post-operative physical therapy supports recovery and long-term mobility.

Injections

Injections deliver targeted medication to reduce inflammation and pain in joints, muscles, or nerves. Cortisone, trigger point, and PRP injections treat conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Administered with ultrasound guidance for accuracy, these treatments often provide relief lasting months, delaying or avoiding surgery.

I had a partial knee replacement on 1/17/22. I cannot speak highly enough about the whole process! The entire staff from Pre-op to Post-op were amazing! Dr Sastry and Ryan LaBelle were knowledgeable, kind and patient! I never felt rushed and they were happy to answer any questions I had! My appointments were on time..I never waited, even when I was early! Every staff member was kind and happy..which tells a lot to me about the practice!! The Robotic Partial Knee Replacement was the way to go!! These folks are the BEST!!

Broke my arm snowboarding and Dr. Quitkin was prompt to fix my arm and get me into PT ASAP so that I wouldn't miss the whole season.
Hopefully, I don't have to see him again. But if I do break anything, I am definitely going back to Dr. Quitkin and Atlantic Orthopedics.
Lastly, shoutout to the staff they are all amazing. Especially Debbie, she went out of her way to try and schedule my surgery the same day and even though it didnt work out, her dedication to go the extra mile has left a lasting positive impact.

Had dr.moorwood previously and was more impressed with his professionalism and asking me my input and questions concerns. Felt rushed through before I had a chance to speak, had to stop him to even do so. He was right to the point but a little contrary to prior medical advise I was given.
