An excellent orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Wainen is affiliated with Advocare Skylands Orthopedics, working with patients in Hackettstown, NJ.

The team of dedicated medical professionals at Advocare Skylands Orthopaedics is ready to serve patients with technologically advanced medical and surgical techniques. The practice was founded on the principle of assisting people in Hackettstown, New Jersey and the surrounding community suffering from joint pain. Their goal is to deliver quality patient care with comprehensive surgical and non-surgical solutions.

With a broad educational background, Dr. Wainen received his undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology and his Master’s degree in Cardiac Rehabilitation from East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania.

The ABOS is an organization with the goal of establishing educational and professional standards for orthopedic residents and surgeons as well as evaluating the qualifications and competence of orthopedic surgeons.

Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and non-surgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.

As a competitive gymnast, Dr. Wainen was honored as the New Jersey Junior Olympic Ring Champion. He has also been the recipient of the Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2018, 2016, 2014, 2011), and the Patients’ Choice Award (2018, 2015, 2014, 2011).
