NJ Ortho Group, LLC is a unique institute focused on the care of spinal and musculoskeletal disorders.
NJ Ortho Group, LLC provides a wide array of expert services specifically for the spinal patient. Spinal disorders including complex deformity such a scoliosis, as well as more common back and neck pain, require dedicated specialty treatment not typically found in general practice settings such as a general orthopaedic or neurosurgical practice.
At the heart of NJ Ortho Group, LLC is Gordon D. Donald, M.D., FACS. With over 25 years of private practice, Dr. Donald is a premier spinal surgeon with the reputation of delivering the finest personal care to patients. NJ Ortho Group and Dr. Donald pride themselves on not only delivering the best surgical treatment but also delivering the highest quality patient care. As most patients with spinal disorders do not require surgery, NJ Ortho Group provides outstanding nonsurgical solutions for patients.
For over 20 years, Dr. Donald has been teaching other surgeons the art and science of innovative advanced spinal surgery. He has been on the forefront of developing both cutting-edge surgical techniques as well as inventing and developing devices to help the spine patient. As a trained biomechanical engineer, Dr. Donald has a unique perspective that adds clarity and personal solutions to each individual’s problems. With this rare combination of skills, Dr. Donald has been able to provide minimally invasive spinal surgical solutions to most patients resulting in better resolution of symptoms and quicker return to full and productive lifestyles.
With the advent of new biological treatments for orthopedic and musculoskeletal disorders, NJ Ortho Group and Dr. Donald have launched a new practice called Living Orthopedics. Living Orthopedics is dedicated to treating bone, muscle and joint disorders by utilizing a patient’s innate ability to heal themselves. Stem cells, platelet rich plasma (PRP) and other biological products are used to stimulate or jumpstart a person’s own natural healing process to repair the problem and resolve their symptoms. Pathology such as discogenic pain from degenerative disc disease are often now amenable to these biological solutions without the need of spinal surgery or fusion. The pain from degenerative joint disease or arthritis may commonly be addressed successfully without the need for joint replacement surgery. Living Orthopedics is proud to be able to combine the talents of orthopedic surgeons and injections specialists for diagnosis and treatment resulting in the best quality of care available.
