I went to Dr. Hassan for a second opinion regarding a meniscus tear in my knee and found him to be very knowledgeable regarding my particular situation. He was very professional and friendly. Dr. Hassan answered all my concerns with the utmost respect for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Hassan to anyone who is looking for real solutions to their problem.

I have a 15-year-old daughter who is a year-round amazing athlete. Unfortunately, on the first day of summer soccer workouts, she was slide tackled in a game which led to a terrible sprained ankle. We had gone to Navesink Rehab. They suggested Dr. Hassan. From my first phone call to walking out of the office, it was a great experience. Dr. Hassan explained everything to us in the simplest terms and we were very happy with our whole experience. Can't wait to see her back on the field!!
