Christopher Gajewski, MD Orthopedic Surgery, Hand and Wrist Orthopedic Surgery in North Bergen, NJ

Christopher Gajewski, M.D. is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in hand, upper extremity, and microvascular surgery. Training at leading programs on both coasts exposed him to a broad range of surgical and nonsurgical approaches, and he draws on that breadth to offer patients the most current, evidence-based treatment options available. He has authored more than 25 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and has delivered numerous presentations at national and international conferences.

Dr. Gajewski favors nonoperative treatment whenever possible. When surgery is the right choice, he prefers minimally invasive, arthroscopic, and endoscopic techniques in efforts to reduce early postoperative pain and accelerate the return of function.

His philosophy of care is simple: every patient is different, and treatment should be too. He takes the time to get to know each patient personally so he can tailor a plan to their specific needs, goals, and lifestyle.

Patient education is paramount to his practice. He believes patients make the best decisions when they fully understand their condition and treatment options. Together, they build an informed, collaborative plan of care that reflects what matters most to the patient.
