Patients deserve the best. This is why Dr. Peter DeNoble and Dr. David Ratliff, recognized board-certified experts in their field of orthopaedic upper extremity surgery, formed Modern Orthopaedics of New Jersey after 9 years in private practice. They bring their expertise in complex orthopaedic surgery of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand to this brand-new venture. Our physicians believe that a strong doctor-patient relationship is the foundation of excellent care, and that one-on-one education and a tailored treatment plan is at the core of an enhanced patient experience. In other words, we treat the whole person, not just the condition.
