Getting You Back to What You Love: Why South Jersey Trusts Shore Orthopaedic University Associates
For more than 35 years, Shore Orthopaedic has combined world-class surgical expertise with a “patient-first” philosophy, right here in our own backyard.
In an era of large, impersonal healthcare conglomerates, there is something profoundly reassuring about walking into a medical office and being greeted by a team that knows your name, your history, and your goals. For residents of Atlantic and Cape May Counties, that level of personalized care has a name: Shore Orthopaedic University Associates.
Since its founding, Shore Orthopaedic has maintained a leadership role in Southern New Jersey by adhering to a simple but powerful mission: providing unsurpassed professional care through one-on-one encounters at every visit. Whether you are a high school athlete eager to get back on the field, a grandparent wanting to pick up your grandchild without pain, or a professional seeking relief from repetitive strain, the message is the same: We focus on you.
A “Patient-First” Design
The commitment to the patient experience is evident the moment you arrive at their Somers Point headquarters. Designed by world-renowned architect Michael Graves, the 10,300-square-foot facility was built using Lean Design principles to reduce wait times and maximize comfort.
Wide corridors ensure easy accessibility, abundant natural light fosters a calming atmosphere, and lofty ceilings promote a sense of openness. “The goal was to create an environment that eliminates stress and enhances recovery,” says the team at Shore Ortho. This philosophy extends to their offices in Galloway and Cape May Court House, ensuring that top-tier care is never more than a short drive away.
The Power of Sub-Specialization
What sets Shore Orthopaedic apart is the depth of expertise within its ranks. While all physicians are board-certified, each orthopedic surgeon has pursued additional fellowship training in specific subspecialties. Patients are not just seeing “a surgeon”—they are seeing an expert dedicated to their specific joint or condition.
- Joint Replacement: Orthopedic surgeons such as Stephen J. Zabinski, MD, Richard B. Islinger, MD, and Thomas A. Barrett, MD employ minimally invasive techniques for hip, knee, and shoulder replacements, allowing for quicker recoveries and less post-operative pain.
- Sports Medicine: From ACL repairs to rotator cuff surgery, sports medicine supports active people of every age—including children, weekend warriors, and those with physically demanding jobs. Sports medicine orthopedic surgeons like Gene J. DeMorat, MD, Damon A. Greene, MD, FAAOS, and James P. Doran, MD concentrate on preventing, diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating injuries resulting from sports, exercise, or physical activity.
- Hand & Upper Extremity: Complex nerve and tendon issues of the hand and wrist are managed by specialists such as Stanley C. Marczyk, MD, and Marc J. Lamb, MD.
- Foot & Ankle: Ted C. Lai, DPM offers advanced reconstructive surgery, ankle joint replacement, and complex deformity correction of the lower extremity.
- Spine Management: Andrew S. Glass, MD, prioritizes nonsurgical solutions.
- Regenerative Orthopedic Medicine: Charles N. Krome, DO, is known for nonsurgical treatment of osteoarthritis and comprehensive care for musculoskeletal problems of the knee, hip, and shoulder.
Comprehensive Care Under One Roof
Shore Orthopaedic understands that surgery is often only one part of the journey. To ensure true continuity of care, the practice offers on-site diagnostic imaging, including X-ray, as well as physical and hand therapy managed by NovaCare Rehabilitation at every location.
“We don’t just perform a procedure and send you on your way,” explains a spokesperson for the practice. “We stay with you through rehabilitation and after-care programs until you reach your maximum potential.”
Rooted in the Community
Beyond the clinic walls, Shore Orthopaedic is a pillar of the South Jersey community. The team honors the legacy of their late partner through the Gregory A. Voit, MD Memorial Scholarship at Stockton University, supporting the next generation of healthcare providers.
From serving as team physicians for local high schools to sponsoring events like “A Cause to Celebrate,” which benefits Shore Medical Center’s Cancer Center, the Tara Miller Melanoma Foundation, and the HERO Campaign, they are as invested in community health as they are in patient outcomes.
The Shore Ortho team strives to provide the best care to every patient, every day. Their professional reputation and success depend on the satisfaction of their patients, and that focus on quality care leads to better outcomes. The orthopedic surgeons at Shore Orthopaedic are personally invested in your recovery, well-being, and community.
