MIDDLETOWN, NJ – Genesis Orthopaedic and Spine is an orthopaedic, sports medicine, and spine practice that offers state of the art, minimally invasive treatments and regenerative therapies for injuries from head to toe.
Genesis Orthopaedic and Spine (GOS) recently celebrated the grand opening of its newest facility in Middletown, at 1270, NJ Route 35 South, Suite One. It was a well attended event with team members, local and state government officials and members of the local business community. The new Middletown location joins Genesis locations in Westfield, Ridgewood, West Orange, and Morristown. The Middletown office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The team of Genesis board-certified doctors provides conservative, non-surgical, and regenerative treatments to heal sports injuries and relieve pain. The scope of the work for the award-winning business, which includes six board-certified physicians, includes treatment of injuries to knee, hip, shoulder, neck, back, foot and ankle pain. The physicians provide conservative, minimally invasive, and regenerative treatment for healing injuries, in addition to traditional orthopedic surgery.
The new facility in Middletown also speciallizes in concussion testing and treatements, offering the latest advanced technology testing. Two of the providers are credentialed ImPACT consultants (CIC), meaning they have completed extensive training in order to give premium quality assessment and care for concussions. They offer neurobehavioral and neuropsychological testing, and offer balance testing using Biodex Biosway. The practice also employs full-time physical therapists who perform vestibular therapy for concussion and rehabilitation for orthopedic injuries.
The physicians in the practice include Co-Founder of Genesis, Dr. Vinay Chopra, MD whose specialty is Sports Medicine, Regenerative Medicine, Concussion, -Founder of Genesis, Dr. Matthew Griffin, MD – Sports Medicine, Regenerative Medicine, Concussion, Dr. Nicholas Delaney, MD – Orthopedic Surgery, Sports Medicine, Dr. Prashant Patel, MD – Spine Specialist, Pain Management , Dr. John Griffin, MD – Sports Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Dr. Jason Sedgwick, DPM- Foot and Ankle surgery, Podiatry.
“It is important to treat joint and head injuries the right way,” said Dr. Chopra, “and our doctors curate personalized treatment plans for each patient to get them back to their normal, everyday selves and alleviate pain. Our goal is to help the patient on their road to recovery from start to end and doing so with minimal invasion.”
The Genesis providers make it a priority to see patients within 48 hours, avoiding a patient’s lengthy wait time to be treated. LEARN MORE HERE.
“We treat everything from head to toe from concussions to foot injuries,” explained Dr. Chopra, a board-certified sports medicine physician and co-owner of Genesis Orthopaedic and Spine. “We offer a lot of modern treatments such as regenerative medicine, which is very important. We believe that surgery is not the first answer to most of these injuries and a lot of what we do non-surgically or minimally invasive. We offer traditional orthopedic surgery for patients who require it.”
“Our goal is to spread excellent orthopedic care throughout the community and maintain the quality of services that we offer to our patients,” said Dr. Matthew Griffin, a board-certified internal medicine physician and co-owner of GOS, specializing in concussion medicine, sports medicine, non-surgical orthopedic injuries, and regenerative treatments.
In addition to traditional sports medicine treatments, GOS is a Credentialed imPACT Consultant (CIC) provider, with the doctors completing an extensive concussion care training program for safe and effective treatments of concussions. Patients are diagnosed and treated with concussions with a Biodex BioSway™ balance machine as well as a host of other treatments including neurobehavioral and neuropsychological testing. They also have physical therapists on staff who perform vestibular therapy.
The importance of early diagnosis and treatment of concussions has taken center stage in the sports community, especially in recent years. GOS is leading the way in concussion diagnosis and treatment to give the patient the best chance of a full recovery in the healthiest amount of time.
“There have been tremendous improvements in treatments over the last few years,” added Dr. Chopra. “Dr. Griffin and I went to a head injury conference in New York last year and universities are developing different biomarkers on identifying and treating concussions.”
Dr. Griffin added that diagnosing and treating concussions is a more complex and involved process today than it was decades ago and having the right therapy plan in place is key to recovery. While having the right tools and treatment is important, turnaround time in seeing a patient is just as significant. And that’s what helps Genesis Orthopaedic and Spine stand out from other sports medicine practices.
“Often, when there is a possible concussion injury, it may be a week or two before the patient actually sees a doctor, but here we make sure they are seen within 48 hours and often times less than 24 hours,” said Fred Kleinbardt, COO and practice administrator of Genesis Orthopaedic and Spine.
Kleinbardt gave a tour of the Middletown location to all who attended the grand opening, and everyone had a chance to view the many exam rooms, state-of-the-art imaging equipment and the high-tech concussion machine.
Senator Vin Gopal presented GOS with a NJ Senate and Assembly proclamation to welcome their new location. Mayor Perry presented a proclamation welcoming GOS, from Middletown Township.
“It is great to have Genesis Orthopaedic and Spine join our community,” said Middletown Mayor Tony Perry, who participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony and presented GOS with a welcome resolution from the Township Committee. “We welcome your team to Middletown! Thank you for bringing your important health services to town and for creating more jobs! We look forward to your success here.”
