Jeffrey Charen, MD
As a board certified orthopedic surgeon and board certified sports medicine specialist, I provide a friendly and thorough approach to patients with hip and knee problems. Mako robotic assisted surgery (knee replacement), arthroscopic surgery including ACL reconstruction, meniscus and cartilage repair and sports medicine are my areas of subspecialty expertise. Using minimally invasive surgical techniques as well as offering nonsurgical alternatives provides you with a wide range of treatment options.
I was raised in New Jersey and have enjoyed practicing in this area for over twenty years. Along with my board certified partners, we offer a full range of orthopedic care and accept most insurance plans.
After many years of caring for patients in our community, Dr. Charen has retired from clinical practice. We are grateful for Dr. Charen’s years of service and dedication to our patients. Current and former patients who need assistance with ongoing care, prescription requests, medical records, or selecting another provider within our practice can contact our office at 908-757-1520.
