HIGH MOUNTAIN ORTHOPEDICS | 342 HAMBURG TPK, STE 205 | WAYNE | 500 GRAND AVE, | ENGLEWOOD 1 SEARS DR, STE 306 | PARAMUS | 973-595-7779 | WWW.HIGHMOUNTAINORTHOPEDICS.COM DR. WILLIAM MATARESE ALWAYS ENJOYED BUILDING AND FIXING THINGS, SO ORTHOPEDICS WAS A NATURAL CAREER CHOICE FOR HIM. HE IS IMPECCABLY TRAINED, HAVING COMPLETED A GENERAL SURGERY INTERNSHIP AT ALBERT EINSTEIN/ MONTEFIORE MEDICAL CENTER AND AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY RESIDENCY AT ST. Joseph’s University Medical Center. Dr. Matarese is board- certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. He is fellowship trained in total joint replacement at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases/ NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital. Dr. Matarese said, “In orthopedics more than in any other area of medicine, there’s an immediate gratification for the patient and physician. A person sustains an injury, and we can help them get back on their feet continuing to do what they love.” Dr. Matarese’s partner, Dr. Tony Wanich, is a specialist in the field of sports medicine and an expert in the arthroscopic man- agement of shoulder, hip and knee injuries. After completing an orthopedic surgical residency at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, Dr. Wanich received additional specialty training in sports medicine at the Kerlan Jobe orthopedic clinic in Los Angeles. He is a team physician for several area teams and works with athletes at all levels to get them back to the field and to pre- vent future injuries. Dr. Wanich is also an Assistant Professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. High Mountain Orthopedics is committed to offering its patients cutting edge technology and treatment. Dr. Matarese and his associate are the only two fellowship trained joint replacement specialists in the area performing Mako robotic-arm assisted joint replacements. Mako robotic-arm assisted technology uses a 3D virtual model of each person’s unique anatomy and a robotic arm to help surgeons plan and perform joint replacement surgery. The practice is fortunate to have a highly trained staff, beloved by patients, and a physical therapy center directly across the street from its Wayne Office. Dr. Matarese explained, “The practice’s physical therapy center allows for a good continuity of care work- ing hand in hand with the physicians.” High Mountain Orthopedics treats an extensive range of condi- tions affecting the spine, neck, knee, shoulder, foot, ankle, elbow, hand, wrist and hip. Some of the conditions they are expertly trained to treat include: Achilles ruptures, ACL tears, ankle sprains, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic back pain, golfer’s and tennis elbow, hip fractures, meniscus tears, torn rota- tor cuffs, and osteoarthritis.
