Wow, what a great experience I had today visiting Dr. Turtel's office. His office staff are incredibly polite, caring, and efficient. The doctor saw me without any wait. He has good people skills and is kind and supportive. He is very professional and competent. He immediately got to work assessing my shoulder and on the road to recovery. I am so pleased that I chose to see Dr. Turtel.

Dr. Turtel is the best & is worth the 65 mile drive from NJ! - I was first referred to Dr. Turtel in 1997 by a friend of mine. The words that caught my attention were "He will listen to what you say, he will order the appropriate tests, he will present you with your options and then ultimately make his recommendation." My right knee problems go back to 1985 when I blew my knee out by ripping 3 of the 4 ligaments and the knee capsule. The operation that took place in PA, which was NOT performed by Dr. Turtel, proceeded to get infected with a staph infection and ultimately a bone infection

Luckily I didn't need any extensive treatment with Dr Turtel, but for the time I was there, I found him to be kind, professional, caring, personable and very helpful. He took his time and did not rush. And his staff is very nice. I didn't know before stepping into his office, he works with many famous professional athletes and Olympians. He is the Osteopathic Surgeon to the stars! Highly recommend Dr Turtel.

Referred to me through insurance. He seems to be interested in working with athletes but thoroughly arrogant if you are not. He spent 5 minutes with me and the examination consisted of telling me to walk as he watched me. He then said, 'Do you know what a rep is? You need to do strength training.' That was it. A waste of money and time.

I highly recommend Dr. Turtel without hesitation. I saw him several years ago for knee surgery and it's been great ever since. And I returned to him last month for a shoulder tear. He operated on that two weeks ago and I am already on the mend. Dr. Turtel understands the particular needs and frustrations of athletes, and he is as knowledgeable as he is experienced. I have never felt rushed through appointments and have always been respected and valued as a patient.

Best orthopedic surgeon and individual I have ever dealt with. He is operated on me (my knee) on three occasions. He is a pleasure to deal with. Every time I have got to him, he came out to meet me in the waiting room and took me on time or even early. He is extremely thorough and explains everything in detail. He takes the time and will not let you leave until you are completely satisfied with his explanation. I am so comfortable with and his entire office that my son and daughter have got to him over the years. He recently operated on my son and again spent a lot of time with him. I have not

I came to see the doctor after being referred from my insurance company. I was in extreme pain from an injury to my knee a few weeks prior. The doctor examined me and could not diagnose anything wrong. I was happy to hear but still really concerned about my pain so I went ahead and decided on my own to get an MRI even though I was dissuaded to get an MRI by the doctor MRI showed that I had a partially torn ACL a bone bruise and a Bakers cyst. The Dr. did not stick around until I got the results of my MRI at the office and it took us a week to track him down for us to hear the results He gave

Dr. Turtel was nice but he was unable to diagnose my knee problem or give me any specific remedy to lessen my pain. In contrast, I went to a different orthopedist who went through the MRI with me, explained what was going on, answered all my questions (Dr. Turtel's answers verged more on the 'I don't know' scale) and gave me specific home exercises to do. Don't waste your time and money. The only benefit I gained from seeing this doctor is that because he is in network, the MRI will cost me less than if an out of network doc ordered it.
