Robotic Surgical Services Team

Robotic Surgery is more than just state-of-the-art equipment. It requires skilled surgeons with extensive training to harness the technology.

At Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, our Robotic Surgical Services Team is comprised of more than two dozen physicians, most with fellowship and advanced training.

Our surgeons often attend and present at medical conferences, and actively publish in their respective fields of expertise. Many are also faculty members at Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Rutgers-Cancer Institute of New Jersey.
