I have been going to Dr. Pecke for over 15 years. I have had problems with my knees, shoulder and i recently had to have surgery on my hand. I wouldn't consider going to anyone else. Always makes feel like he is genuinely concerned about my pain and respects how I am feeling.

I had to have a cervical laminectomy that he had diagnosed on a office visit. He called the neurosugoen during my visit, I had surgery 2 days later. That's when I knew he was my new orthopedic surgeon and I have been going to him ever since.

Dr. Pecker has treated me for a broken arm/dislocated elbow, carpal tunnel, and arthroscopic knee surgery. The doctor and his staff go out if their way to help and make things easier. Dr. Pecker is a remarkable surgeon. I cannot think of any negatives to write- even the nurses in the hospital sang his praises. I could go on and on about how well he fixed my various problems, but suffice it to say I am totally back to normal after some serious problems. I would, and do, recommend him to anyone needing an orthopedist

Dr. Pecker is great, he operated on my ankle and it's been years since it felt so good. His bed side manner is great especially for someone like me who gets anxious with operations. He came to see me right after my surgery which was comforting. He is a really good doctor and it is hard to find those these days.

Dr. Pecker allowed me to return to the sports I love..tennis and jogging. I had knee pain for 6 months before he performed an athroscopy of my knee. He has a very calm and honest demeanor. I highly recommend Dr. Pecker.

Treated our daughter with great care, had patience in answering all of our concerns, and helped her knee greatly. His overall demeanor is very cool and calming, which is great for patients. Like him very much!

Very honest and caring. Operated on my shoulder and my knee, and operated on 2 other members of my family. The waiting room gets backed up sometimes.

I've been a patient of his for several years. I think he tries to help and speaks very calmy which is good, but I get the feeling he just gives up on you if it's not within his safe-zone. You'll know when he basically doesn't have anything to say he is giving up on you. Routinely, he goes through the steps. But maybe since like most surgeons I've seen, patients are crammed in the day. I had to wait an hour in the waiting room and another 30 minutes in the exam room. His rahway location is also a bit behind technology-wise. But he's a good listener and has very honest simple suggestions even if he can't understand your problem.
