A few years ago, I went to this medical office to have my shoulder evaluated by the same doctor…read morethat had previously operated on my hip. Due to his doing a satisfactory job on my hip I decided to see if he was also practiced at shoulder surgery. After waiting almost a week and a half and getting an appointment with Dr. Douglas Holden he explained to me that he was not doing hip surgeries any longer, and that he was focused on shoulder surgeries, which was to include tears. After being sent and responding to an imaging center to have an MRI done, it was confirmed that there was a rotator cuff tear to my left shoulder. At the time we had not had about any other injury and made a plan to have the surgery on my shoulder and this was because Dr. Holden, although it had been some years since he operated on my hip, but at that time he was mainly doing hip-hop operations and not shoulder operations. our he expressed being very certain that he could correct the problem with my shoulder and he expected that I would make a full . After having the operation and Dr. Holden claiming that he was able to repair the rotator cuff tear and he also found that my bicep had torn away and needed to be repaired also while he was in the surgery. A short time after the surgery, I responded to a office of my choice and one that he was well aware of called Third Space medical, which was in . During my visits to Physical Therapy, I had some unusual pain in the shoulder that the doctor had and Physical Therapy had expressed some concern about the pain I was having. After a series of follow up visits with Dr. Holden in a different office than their New Jersey office I expressed some concern because my shoulder was not healing and I was having more pain than the people at Physical Therapy had expected. After two follow up visits with Dr. Holden he show up at the but one of his underlings had shown up and had told me that I had met all the visits that required and permitted by the insurance company and that the shoulder should be just fine with more . more weeks of and having nearly as much pain that I had prior to the the physical therapist I was seeing had recommended that I go for another MRI to check to see what could be causing the pain that I was having. After receiving the results from my MRI and bringing it to the therapist, the showed that there was still tears to my rotator cuff that the doctor had . On several occasions, I contacted the office doctor was working and they kept telling me that I had used all the visits that the insurance company would pay for and that I would any further visits to Garden State orthopedics and Dr. Holden. Due to me being in my late 60s I chose not to have another surgery because I had a very bad experience with this surgery and did not want to go through another 6 to 12 weeks of and not having to use of my arm. After approximately one year, I began getting requests by Garden State orthopedics for an additional $1800.00 at which time I sent them a letter explaining why they would not be receiving the payments because Dr. Holden had failed me and did not correct the injury that I had had after he promised that there should be no fixing the damage to my shoulder. It is very clear that Dr. Holden is not a man of his and his office was very obnoxious and nasty when I was going through the pre-operation and mentioned that there was issues with the paperwork that stated I would be responsible for things that were always covered by my and at the time his office person who is in charge of the paperwork and the finances got very abrupt with me, and even my wife that was with me was very upset that they would speak to me the way they did at the time. Several times I called up and I wanted to speak with Dr. Holden about the issue and each and every time his people that answered the phone refused to allow me to speak with him and told me that either I pay him the money or they would send it to and I told they could do whatever they like because he complete the operation in the . It is now well over three years and I'm being threatened by his office to send the overdue to collections and I'm not interested in paying him any further money as he did not do the surgery and fix the injury in the manner he promised. After having my hip several years ago, I recommended at least six other people to Garden State orthopedics of mine out to them and looked at their said they would not go to this orthopedic center, and then I took a look at the ratings and it was very very distressing to see group of doctors with five star ratings had dropped down to a three star rating which told me that they would be becoming more of a clinic than a high-end orthopedic doctor agency. As it stands today, I would never recommend anyone to Dr. Douglas Holden or his orthopedic group after his seeing how his ratings had fallen in a few short years.

Extremely disappointing experience…read more I waited over two hours to be seen on multiple occasions despite having a scheduled appointment. What made the situation even more frustrating was being told repeatedly that I was "next" to be seen, only to watch other patients who arrived after me and had later appointment times get called back first. When I asked about it, the explanations I received from the staff were inconsistent and didn't match what I had personally observed. Rather than acknowledging the excessive wait time and poor communication, I felt like I was being given excuses. The doctor's explanation only added to my frustration and did not address the actual issue. In fact, he took an incredibly rude attitude toward me when I inquired politely about it. I understand that medical offices can run behind, but waiting over two hours more than once is unacceptable. After speaking with others in the waiting room, it was clear that I was not the only one with this experience. Patients deserve honest communication and respect for their time. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

I saw many doctors, including specialists of varied kinds, approximately 10 in total. Each had helped, to a degree, but I still had enough problems to cause me to go on crutches and eventually into a wheelchair, when my elbow could not handle crutches anymore. I had seen approximately 10 recommended doctors. The last one I spoke to had been trained at the hospital for special surgery in NY and was considered the "best-of-the-best" in the Bergen County, NJ area. He told me he thought the only hope for me, after the cortisone shots, orthotics, shock-wave therapy, physical therapy, ultrasound, and the other treatments I had received, was surgery. He recommended Dr. Levitsky, as another doctor to consult, if I wanted another opinion. My podiatrist also recommended Dr. Levitsky and so did another doctor of mine. These doctors were completely independent of each other, so I figured Dr. Levitsky must be excellent. I went into Dr. Levitsky's office in Fair Lawn, NJ, in November of 2012, in a wheelchair and he prescribed a cam walker for my foot and ankle, added physical therapy for both the foot and ankle, and general advice to let pain be my guide for how much I could try walking on my foot, while in the cam walker. After six weeks, he got me out of the wheelchair, onto a knee-walker and after 7 months, I was walking 3 x 30 minutes a day, for a total of 90 minutes, without any assistance at all. I never needed the crutches, wheelchair or knee walker again, nor did I require surgery. Dr. Levitsky helped me in ways that even the most highly recommended doctors in my area could not. He helped me to overcome plantar fasciitis, tendonitis and arthritis. My experience with him is that he is an excellent orthopedist for foot and ankle problems!!!!!!!!

I researched alternatives for knee replacement and found Dr. Levy's office and made an appointment for a consultation. We first met with his PA Kevin who conducted a very thorough examination and as mom stated, she had never had that type of extensive orthopedic exam ever, plus Kevin is a very nice guy, patient and very knowledgeable, then we met with Dr. Levy who went over the MRI in great detail with us, we found out that mom had issues in addition to her torn meniscus (turns out at surgery she had 2 serious tears we were never informed of), he told us mom didn't need knee replacement (the practice's bottomline is to save the joint as best as possible) and went into detail as to the procedure he was to perform as well as addressing the menisci, both Dr. Levy and Kevin took their time with us and answered any questions we had. Mom had her surgery in December and is doing well. Dr. Levy and his staff are nice, professional and caring. I was so impressed by Dr. Levy's practice and philosophy that I ended up treating with him for an issue that I've had for over a year, I saw 4 different doctors by the time I was given a script for an MRI and was told nothing could be done for me, one doctor stated I may need a knee replacement, I saw Dr. Levy who easily found my issue by studying my MRI closely and I am scheduled for surgery in the near future. If it weren't for Dr. Levy's knowledge (he's a researcher and inventor as well) I still would be on the vicious cycle of cortisone shots, PT and gel shots. In my experience, it's amazing how insurance companies will easily pay for a major surgery like a total knee replacement (which I don't need) than pay for other treatment that they'd otherwise think is considered alternative, I gladly will treat out of network in order to get the treatment that I need instead of being treated in a cookie cutter way (like being told I need a total knee replacement when I had 'some' arthritis and in a small part of my knee) and Dr. Levy doesn't treat anyone in a cookie cutter way, he treats them as individuals with different needs. I highly recommend him and his staff. Mom treats in the Ironbound section of Newark, and I treat in his Millburn location and both locations are great!

In early 2025 was told my spinal column c5-c3 was unstable and in x-rays you could see it tipping off to the left. the pain i endured was so bad, i often thought about just ending existence. my pain was as if someone put red hot coals under my skin and into my muscles from my skull down to my lower lt region and across my entire back and into my shoulder and down both arms...and the pain was 24/7 with zero relief for months. Dr. Bitan preformed a double discectomy with the insertion of 2 cadaver bones and a mesh around c3-5.

Dr. Bitan and the whole team of Atlantic Spine Center ( his whole surgical team as well as office staff -Love you to death Lisa- truly treated me with compassion, understanding (in my darkest hours of pain i was not a pleasant human) and overall REALLY gave me the feeling they cared about my health. they moved mountains for me and i went from putting together end-of-life plans to now living again. i was not sure i would make it to my 50th bday in the end of january, but Dr. Bitan and the team all DID make it happen and now i'm finding more happiness at 50 than i did the last couple yrs of life (turned out this issue had been going on for a couple yrs only on a smaller scale and had built up to life threatening after an incident). i've been sending everyone i talk with through my business (we own a meadery in Erie pa and are on tons of events as well as folks coming to the bar) to Atlantic Spine Center so they can truly find respite and a life again. sorry if i rambled, i'm just THAT happy and excited to have this pain gone AND be able to do my old life PLUS more again. thank you and much love to Dr. Bitan, Lisa and the whole team of Atlantic Spinal Center!!!!!!

These people are ambulance chasers who have no interest in getting you well enough to get back to your life. I was harassed about not having a lawyer. They actually had a lawyer call me about my "case." The office manager took it upon herself to have a "sit down" with me to encourage (or force) me to get one. Me telling them I'm not interested in litigation, I'm interested in being able to squat without serious pain did nothing. They threatened to come after me for the bills if the insurance company didn't pay. Then scheduled me for tests I probably didn't need. They sent me to a specialist about my knees, who decided after seeing my MRI that I needed to have surgery on both knees. I went to a different doctor for a second opinion, and a third doctor that I'm actually seeing now, and neither thought surgery was necessary or would be of any benefit. In fact, both said that the injury to my right knee doesn't even require surgery. It heals on it's own. Oddly enough, 98% of the time I went in for treatment (my MRI claims I have all kinds of injuries to my neck and back as well as my knees), all I got was a heating pad and stim machine on my knees, and some really really bad acupuncture. I could feel the needles. A couple of times I got the stim machine/heating pad combo on my back. No exercise, no strengthening of the muscles around my injured knees. No attention to the other injuries I have. There was also the series of "pain shots" administered by Dr. Cohen that didn't work at all. If your goal is to help them get rich off billing insurance companies then by all means, this is the place for you. If your goal is to get better and get back to your life, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Never again.
