We are now an independent pediatric orthopedic practice, but the care you know and trust remains the same. You will still see the same doctors, visit the same locations, and have access to walk-in care.

Our team is dedicated to helping you understand your coverage and working with you to coordinate payment options that make sense for you and your family. We want to ensure you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

If you’re unsure how your benefits apply, give us a call at (973) 538-7700. A member of our team will be happy to assist you directly.

Our team had so much fun earlier this week at the Curvy Girls Scoliosis 2025 Convention, where healing minds and spines came together 💚💗

We were proud to join scoliosis warriors and their families for a powerful day of connection, education, and support. Dr. Rieger presented on the evolving role of AI in scoliosis treatment, and Dr. Stelma spoke on the correlation between bone health and scoliosis, also serving as an expert during group workshops.

One of our favorite moments? Watching attendees add messages of encouragement to our Healing Words Wall — filling it with hope, strength, and inspiration.

Thank you to the amazing Curvy Girls community for the warm welcome and inspiring conversations. We’ve got your back — always! Curvy Girls Scoliosis Foundation
