Sussex County, NJ — June 21, 2016 — The Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey (OINJ) is pleased to announce that the practice earned the distinction of winning the New Jersey Herald Gold Readers’ Choice Award in the category of Best Orthopedic Office.

We do our best for our patients every day, and it is both gratifying and humbling to be recognized for it.”

We appreciate this very heartwarming sign of their approval, because it means that our care is valued by a large and varied group of patients.”
