Dr Abrutyn replaced my knee. He is the only reason I am still able to walk. All in all it was a very good experience. I love my new knee.

Dr. Abrutyn was very helpful and was able to answer all of my questions about my injury. My surgery was scheduled quickly and everything went extremely well. All of my follow up appointments were smooth and now, after all that he has done, I'll be cleared to go back to sports 6 moths post surgery.

On 6/13/17 I had total knee replacement surgery with Dr. Abrutyn. I was miserable with my bad knee but put off surgery for a long time. Dr. Abrutyn asked me about my goals...related to having my knee "replaced." He talked about the value of surgery and what it might mean to the quality of my life. Dr. Abrutyn is an excellent surgeon. I felt confident under his care. His team is great. It is always affirming to be valued as a person as well as a patient.

He presents himself as a true professional: he is personable and concerned about his patients. His expertise is exceptional.

Dr. Abrutyn is a great surgeon. He was precise and accurate in diagnosing my injury and was focused on getting me back to training for triathlons. He stepped me through all along the process and had great presence (pre and post operation). Very happy with my choice to use him.

Dr. Abrutyn was very good at making me understand my injury and what treatment he recommended. The treatment went well and Dr. Abrutyn predicted the recovery time to the dot. I was up and running exactly when the Dr. said I would be. Very warm and friendly, I really felt valued and cared for.

Dr Abrutyn is excellent. He is very knowledge and professional. He made me comfortable going into surgery and saved me from having a frozen shoulder post surgery. He really knows his stuff! His front office isn't the friendliest but they are good and efficient.

My father recently had a full knee replacement performed by Dr. Abrutyn. It was an outstanding experience from the first appointment, pre-surgery preparation, surgery, recovery and rehabilitation. I would highly recommend him and the Summit Medical Group.

-Jane Cubides in Somerset, NJ | Dec 20, 2016
My experience with Dr. Abrutyn was spot on-- from the first appointment, evaluating my situation
without being alarming , guiding me with the options and suggesting that moving forward will enhance my physical life. He explained in detail how the process worked and made himself available for questions at
any time I deemed necessary. The facilities were clean and orderly and at no time was I uncomfortable.
I highly recommend Dr. Abrutyn .

dr. Abrutyn was very concerned about my son and his football injury, easy to talk to and answered all our questions.

-Vincent H in East Brunswick, NJ | Oct 28, 2016
After tearing my right rotator cuff and multiple tendons, Dr Abrutyn preformed endoscopic surgery to repair the damage. The results were excellent and I have full use of my arm with no pain after 2 years of hard use working in the electrical trade. I highly recommend him.

-Shawn Thomas in Neshanic Station, NJ | Oct 15, 2016
Dr. Abrutyn has taken care of both myself, and my high school son, for sports related injuries to our knees. I had an ACL replacement, and my son had torn his MCL. Dr. Abrutyn has one of the most courteous and patient staffs that I have had the pleasure to deal with. We received accurate diagnosis, several options for care, and answered all our questions. We could not be happier with our outcomes, and the attentiveness of the staff to our recovery. I would recommend the doctor to anyone.

-Bob Kurz in Bridgewater, NJ | Sep 12, 2016
Dr. Abrutyn was the kind of doctor you can only hope to get. I was a candidate for a full knee replacement but he did not pressure me. When we talked I felt he was truly interested in my reasons and apprehensions. When I decided to go through with the surgery he was helpful and explained each step right up to the morning of the surgery. Post surgery has been just as pleasant. I can't say enough about how I was treated like a person not just a patient.

-M. Ellis in Bridgewater, NJ | Aug 19, 2016
I had my right ACL replaced by Dr. Abrutyn. As an "older" athlete, I wanted someone who could relate to my fitness level and goals and would be honest, informative and supportive of my desire to get back to the activities I love. I found this with Dr. Abrutyn. The surgery and recovery have gone perfectly!
I highly recommend Dr. Aburtyn. And, due to a twist in fate (no pun intended) my wife had him perform the same procedure on her torn ACL a month after my procedure!

-Erin P. in Green Brook, NJ | Aug 19, 2016
It's been 7 weeks since Dr. Abrutyn performed my bilateral knee replacement surgery and things couldn't be going better. Dr. Abrutyn is an excellent doctor and I'd highly recommend him.

-Bruce S in Middlesex, NJ | Aug 01, 2016
I went to Dr Abrutyn for one complete tear and a partial tear in my should from volleyball. Dr Abrutyn identified the issues and stated it would be a difficult surgery, and after 5 screws and solid PT after a years time, I'm now completely 100% back to normal. I also decided to repair a torn meniscus by him too while I was down and after a month of that I was back to playing volleyball and tennis. Thanks to you Dr. A!!!

-Jeff Sowers in Hillsborough, NJ | Jun 18, 2016
I would highly recommend Dr. Abrutyn. He is very patient centric, takes the time to listen, and doesn't make you feel like he is rushing to get to the next patient. I can't recommend him highly enough.

-Joan in Hillsborough, NJ | Jun 14, 2016
Phenomenal Dr. I cannot say enough about how lucky I was to get this Dr.
I am 73 years old and a very active grandma, after breaking my ankle in three places I was so concerned that I would not be a priority. I was wrong, I was sooo well taken care of and am very grateful.
My recovery was painless and speedy. I had little pain and was walking after 3 months.
I have to attribute all of this to the wonderful work of the Surgeon. He really has given me my life back.

-Leon Portine in Randolph, NJ | Jun 11, 2016
Highly recommend.

-TH in Basking Ridge, NJ | May 25, 2016
Had shoulder injury, Dr Abrutyn tried non-surgical methods for treating. However, when the shoulder did not respond he reviewed my options and we concluded to move forward with surgery. He did a thorough job of explaining the risks and recovery timing. After he repaired my rotator cuff, performed a bicep tenodesis and smoothed out the bone spur, he provided excellent follow-up care. The relief from the pain I was experiencing before the surgery is immense and I attribute that to his skill.

-Debra F in Warren, NJ | Apr 05, 2016
Very conscientious and understanding. Explained my condition and options. I elected arthroscopic surgery (meniscus). No complications or issues. Great experprience overall.

-Sara in Belle Mead, NJ | Apr 02, 2016
I hurt my shoulder in Europe and got the first appointment when I got back home. Dr. Abrutyn was patient and able to answer all my questions. He is conservative with his treatment and did not just recommend surgery! I started with PT and when that did not completely resolve, he gave me options and also provided the pros and cons for each. I ended up having a surgery to repair the rotator cuff tear. He explained each step to me and his follow up care was excellent. I would highly recommended him!
