ANDREW M. HUTTER, M.D., F.A.C.S

Dr. Hutter is a Board Certified Orthopaedic surgeon whose practice spans the full spectrum of orthopaedics. This includes fractures, arthritic conditions, neck and back pain and athletic injuries. While he enjoys the practice of general orthopaedics, he has an area of special expertise in musculoskeletal pain management and Lumbar Spine disorders.

His treatment for these conditions includes a complete range of orthopaedic services from physical therapy and medication to surgery.

Dr. Hutter performs his own epidural steroid injections and is one of the few orthopaedic surgeons skilled in a relatively new procedure called epiduroscopy. This latter procedure allows for added diagnostic information and specific therapeutic treatment of various lumbar spine conditions. Dr. Hutter has lectured extensively around the country and taught many physicians the technique of epiduroscopy.

Dr. Hutter is also a trained and certified acupuncturist. He received his training through UCLA. He has incorporated acupuncture into his orthopaedic practice for a variety of conditions that range from chronic pain to acute sprains and strains. He has been appointed to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Committee on Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The focus of this committee is to educate the public and orthopaedic surgeons regarding the use and abuse of modalities such as acupuncture, herbal medications, and magnet therapy, among others.

Dr. Hutter also enjoys treating athletic injuries. He serves as the Assistant Team Orthopaedic Surgeon for the NY/NJ Metrostars professional soccer team, and previously, the NJ Gladiators of the Arena Football League and the NJ Storm of the Indoor Lacrosse League.
