From Little League games to backyard catch, baseball is a tradition that helps young athletes build confidence, teamwork, and discipline.

From injury to getting back on the mat 💪

When Victoria tore her meniscus, her focus was simple: get the right care and get back to doing what she loves. With Dr. Strassberg and our team, she did exactly that.

But for her family, there was another layer: navigating Out-Of-Network care.

That’s where our team stepped in!

From day one, we made the process clear, manageable, and stress-free. We walked them through every step so they could focus on what mattered most: Victoria’s recovery.

Because specialized care shouldn’t feel overwhelming or out of reach, we make sure finances never stand in the way.

Your child’s feet and ankles are key to movement, balance, and staying active, but problems are often missed until pain or injury begins.

Early care can make a big difference in how kids grow, move, and heal.

Our Foot and Ankle Center is led by board-certified specialist Dr. Mark E. Solomon. We provide expert care for foot and ankle conditions in children and adolescents.

What does it mean to see a board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric orthopedic surgeon?

It means your child is cared for by a physician who has completed specialized training dedicated exclusively to the care of children and adolescents’ growing bones and joints.

Our physicians are Board Certified/Board Eligible by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, reflecting rigorous national standards and the highest levels of training and patient care. Beyond board certification, our team has additional fellowship training in pediatric and adolescent orthopedics, as well as advanced expertise in areas such as scoliosis and pediatric foot and ankle conditions.

This distinction ensures expert, pediatric-focused care for children of all ages because children are not just small adults.

“Kids are not small adults,” and they shouldn’t be treated like one.

From how injuries occur to how bones heal, children’s bodies are constantly growing and changing. That means their care, treatment plans, and recovery timelines need a specialized approach designed for developing athletes.

Fellowship-trained pediatric orthopedists understand growth plates, development, and the long-term impact of injuries, helping protect not just today’s recovery, but your child’s future health and performance.

Choose care built for growing bodies.

Today we celebrate student-athletes, balancing school, practice, competition, and everything in between.

Sports help young athletes build confidence, discipline, and resilience. But staying healthy is just as important as performing well.

Because growing athletes deserve care designed specifically for their developing bodies.

In-network vs. out-of-network: What does it actually mean?

It’s one of the most common questions families have when seeking care.

The reality is, out-of-network doesn’t have to mean complicated, stressful, or out of reach. At our practice, we walk families through every step, from understanding costs to handling the paperwork so you can focus on your child’s recovery, and finances never become a barrier to receiving expert care.

Contact us at (973) 538-7700 if you have any further questions, and ask for Lisa, Linda, or Sanaa.
