TPOC Becomes an Independent Practice on July 1, 2025

Our Practice Makes Perfect

We’re excited to share some important news about The Pediatric Orthopedic Center (TPOC).

Effective July 1, 2025, TPOC will become an independent pediatric orthopedic specialty practice and will no longer be affiliated with Consensus Health.

Here’s what this change means:

  • The same trusted doctors will continue seeing patients at the same convenient locations — Cedar Knolls, Springfield, and Wayne.
  • There will be no changes to phone numbers, office hours, or the personalized care families have come to expect.
  • Medical records will remain securely within the practice, and care will continue without interruption.

TPOC continues to work with all insurance plans and remains committed to providing uninterrupted care.

This transition marks an exciting new chapter. As an independent pediatric orthopedic specialty practice, TPOC remains fully dedicated to expert, compassionate care for children. The team of board-certified and board-eligible pediatric orthopedic surgeons has proudly served the community for over 30 years — a commitment that remains stronger than ever.

Service enhancements are also underway, including expanded urgent care walk-in hours. At the Cedar Knolls location, patients will continue to benefit from the advanced low-dose EOSedge imaging system, which delivers just 4% of the radiation of traditional X-rays.

At TPOC, the mission has always been simple: to treat every child as our own. All staff share a commitment to children’s health, comfort, and well-being. As the largest pediatric orthopedic practice in the tri-state area, TPOC is proud to make world-class care accessible to families across New Jersey.

We appreciate your continued trust and look forward to providing exceptional care for years to come. For any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
