Anthony Festa MD, Academy Orthopaedics 504 Valley Road, Wayne, NJ 07470

"My first ever experience with an orthopedic doctor. He spoke to me about what was causing the pain in my knee and gave me options of either orthotics slip ons for shoes or to have a surgery. I opted to go for the surgery and ever since then no more pain in my left knee. 10/10 will definitely recommend"

"Dr. Festa is thorough and patient. listens to your complaints and takes his time to be complete in his plan and evaluation. It is a pleasure to be treated by him and be painfree as a result!"

"I've been a patient for many years, I had a drastic severe knee injury in 1997. Tore the ACL, PCL, Medial and lateral collateral ligaments. Meniscus and Patella tendon. Dr McInerney did the surgery. This many years later it is my strongest of the two knees and I've never had a problem with it. NJOI has provided top quality care for many years through various issues I've had. I would never go anywhere else."

"If you are in a lot of pain and want a doctor or doctors office who will be very on top of your situation this is not the place. It’s been over a week since I had an MRI done on my wrist. I had to call the Imaging center to get my own results and interpret them myself since my doctor nor his assistant never bothered to call me. I was originally told that it was faxed electronically and they hadn’t received it yet. I am noticing that this is a pattern with this place. If you don’t constantly chase them, things don’t get done. The imaging center for example claimed they never received my paperwork while the doctors office claimed they had sent it. I swear I should be reimbursed my copay for the work I had to put in just to get my MRI done. I made sure to call Dr. Pierce’s assistant Justin on Monday and let him know the imaging center had sent my results over to them at 7:30 am Saturday. They resent them on Monday and then resent them a second time per my request just to make sure they received them. I let Justin know that I am in A LOT of pain and was very nervous for the results so to please call me right away when they receive them. He claimed since it was an electronic fax it would take a little while to be put into the system. Had no idea it took a week... oh wait because it doesn’t. By Wednesday I called the imaging center myself and they emailed me the results and guess what it came in right away !!! I had already had previous issues getting a pre authorization for my MRI. Since they were not on top of it, I had to call several times and let them know the imaging center never received my paperwork. Of course the imaging center tells me two days prior to my appointment that my insurance company denied my pre authorization. They told me they informed my doctor and were surprised no one from the office reached out to me. (I wasn’t surprised) Doctors office never called to let me know. This is what led to me having to reschedule and have to suffer for another two weeks. The only positive thing I have to say is that Dr. Pierce called me back on a Saturday and immediately handled my pre authorization the following Monday. I’m really not sure whether it’s the office staff or the doctor or both, but I have never in my life waited this long for an MRI result nor have I ever felt so ignored by a doctor or their staff. Needless to say I will be taking my results elsewhere. You lost a patient"

"I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Casey M. Pierce at the New Jersey Orthopaedic Institute for a torn meniscus. Suffering from knee injuries for most of my life, having a doctor that understands the complexity of my knee problems is very important. Dr. Pierce took the time to personally review and share my MRI results with me. He was thorough, patient and I never felt rushed when meeting with him. He was timely and his staff was able to assist me with pre-surgical information as well as submitting the appropriate paperwork for my absence from work. On the day of surgery he was able to put me at ease. He explained the procedure and reviewed my aftercare thoroughly. He is clearly a very skilled surgeon as I felt immediate relief from the surgery that he performed on my knee. I highly recommend choosing Dr. Pierce for any orthopedic needs. He is a wonderful doctor!"
