About

Once again Dr. Mark Rieger, Dr. David Lin, and Dr. Joshua Strassberg are New Jersey Monthly Top Doctors. Nominated by their peers owing to the high level of pediatric orthopedic care they provide at the Pediatric Orthopedic Center, one of the most innovative practices of its kind in the state for over 30 years, the doctors treat children and adolescents who have issues involving bones, joints, and muscles related to sports injuries, fractures, trauma, scoliosis, hip dysplasia, clubfoot, and many other disorders, using the most innovative non-operative, minimally invasive, and arthroscopic surgical techniques available. Their methods allow for rapid diagnosis and treatment and lead to an accelerated return to activities safely.

The cutting-edge medical technology used at the Pediatric Orthopedic Center includes the EOSedge, a next-generation imaging machine that provides X-rays with as little as 4 percent of the radiation from a normal X-ray, ACL repair with the BEAR® technique to eliminate ACL replacement, spine bracing to avoid spine surgery in 96 percent of potential surgical patients, FIREFLY® guidance for spine surgery to maximize safety, rapid-recovery pain management methods, and many other advanced treatments.

“We continue the philosophy of treating children as our own and always putting their well-being first,” says Dr. Rieger. That guiding principle now extends to a more concierge-style model, offering families extended appointment times, direct physician access, coordinated care, and the most comprehensive pediatric orthopedic services when it matters most.”
