Freehold NJ Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Michael Greller Honored for Outstanding Patient Care and Expertise

Freehold, NJ, December 05, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Advanced Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Institutes' Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Michael Greller, has been honored for outstanding patient care and expertise.

Dr. Michael Greller has been awarded the prestigious 2013 Patients’ Choice Award. Patients rate their doctors, and after receiving high scores, Dr. Greller has been singled out as one of the top orthopedic surgeons for patient care and expertise in the nation.

Millions of patients go online each year to rate their doctors on various components of care, including accuracy of their diagnosis, the amount of time they spent with the doctor, the doctor's bedside manner and follow-up care. Patients' Choice reviews these rankings and other quality measures to compile its yearly list of award winners.

Only the top 5% of the nation’s 870,000 active physicians received this honorable award in 2013. Dr. Greller’s heartfelt reaction was captured when he commented, "I’m honored to receive an award that is based on the ratings from my patients. With experience, we have learned to do the little things right. We have learned that helping patients achieve their goals makes all the difference. When patients recognize you it means so much and for me it means that our entire practice shares in this award. Medical assistants, physician assistants, staff and the other talented surgeons of AOSMI all help shape the care and expertise that I bring to my patients.”

Jon Mackler, AOSMI's Chief Operating Officer stated “Dr. Greller is always working to make patient care and quality the top priority in our practice. His leadership and expertise shape the care we provide everyday and to be recognized by his own patients underscores his commitment, not only to AOSMI, but to each and every one of his patients.”

Dr. Greller’s education and training at leading institutions has given him the opportunity to treat professional athletes, high-level Division 1 college athletes, and high school athletes. He has recently been appointed Team Physician for the N.Y./N.J. Comets, a National Pro Fastpitch women’s softball team and was a team physician for Saint John Vianney High School Football in 2013. He has served as a physician for the US Open Tennis Tournament, Philadelphia High School football, Freehold Borough High School Football and several professional dance companies in New York City. His vast and diverse experience both in the office and on the field allows him to provide the best care to all of his patients. Dr. Greller’s goal is to help his patients recover quickly. He works closely with trainers, therapists, nutritionists and other medical professionals to help his patients return to competition and regular activities.

Dr. Greller specializes in advanced, minimally-invasive shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle arthroscopic procedures, including ACL, rotator cuff and meniscus surgery. He also performs minimally-invasive hip, knee, and shoulder replacements. Dr. Greller, being on the cutting edge of technology in orthopedics, was one of the first New Jersey surgeons to do computer-assisted joint replacements in the tri-state area and he is always trained on the latest technologies to improve patient non-surgical and surgical outcomes. He also cares for adult and pediatric fractures, hand and upper extremity problems, as well as foot and ankle injuries.

In addition to overseeing the daily operations of the office as President of AOSMI, Dr. Greller is also the Assistant Director of the Cartilage Restoration Center of New Jersey (CRC). A division of AOSMI, the center is devoted to the treatment of cartilaginous injuries and damage to the knee and other joints.
