Dr. Niver is awesome! I recently had several of my fingers develop trigger finger. He explained the options, tried non-surgical remedies and eventually performed trigger release procedures on 5 fingers (in 3 total surgical procedures). His bedside manner is great, he keeps things light while explaining everything he is doing. I have completely recovered and would recommend Dr. Niver to anyone. One of my favorite doctors I have ever met. A true professional.

Dr. Niver was extremely professional. During my appointment he was informative, direct and I left with a solid plan moving forward. I came away feeling like I was heard and understood and knew exactly what the next steps would be. Everyone I dealt with at this office was kind and very efficient. I was very impressed with my first visit to this practice.

I am a certified hand therapist and have treated several of Dr. Nivers patients. I believe he is a very talented hand surgeon who knows how to get excellent results. In my experience, all of his post operative patients regain excellent range of motion, strength and full functional use of their hands. In addition, he is adept at diagnosing a myriad of hand / upper extremity problems and laying out both conservative and invasive treatment options. He reviews these options thoroughly with each patient and helps them to feel confident with their decision. I strongly recommend Dr. Niver for any hand or upper extremity condition, as you will receive the highest level of care in the industry.

Dr Niver is the real deal. His professionalism, knowledge, bedside manner, etc are par excellence! (He treated me for a fractured wrist ) I wish I could give him 10 stars instead of five. Best doctor choice I ever made!

Dr. Niver is a wonderful doctor. Friendly and engaging. He took the time to listen to me about the issues I was having with my elbow. He chose a non-surgical path, and it worked. I am 100% again. I am grateful to have him as my doctor.

Dr. Niver is a highly skilled hand, wrist, and elbow surgeon. As a hand therapist who works with his patients, I have seen excellent outcomes from his treatment and surgeries. He communicates closely with the therapists during rehab and is invested in the patient gaining maximal hand function after injuries.

Dr. Niver is an outstanding surgeon. He has great outcomes with all his patients! He is involved with each of his patients’ from start to finish. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and professional orthopedist, he is your guy!

I was recently treated for Dupuytrens contracture on my left and right hand. I had two different surgical procedures in January 2021 and then again in August 2021.Dr. Niver is a state of the art physician offering the best care and surgical options.I would highly recommend Dr. Niver to anyone requiring surgery for orthopedic type problems.He is an outstanding surgeon!

A horrible doctor, didnt even have the patience to listen to my symptoms.Listening to patients is one of the most important ways to diagnosis.I am pretty sure I have either carpal tunnel or cubital tunnel syndrome.he had me take an X-ray of my arm before I even saw him! X-ray wont reveal any problems with nerves or tendon! I can only say he is arrogant and greedy!

Dr. Niver is an excellent hand surgeon. His surgeries have amazing outcomes and he takes pride in his work. As a hand therapist, I highly recommend Dr Niver for elbow, wrist, hand and finger injuries!

Dr. Niver is a fantastic hand surgeon. The office is kind and professional. As a hand therapist I have worked with this doctors patients in the past. All with great outcomes and nothing but good things to say about Dr. Niver.

My experience with Dr. Niver was fantastic from my initial consultation thru my final visit. He was clear on my surgical process, the therapy I’d need, and the healing process.He answered all of my questions and always met with me personally and was reassuring throughout the process. I’d also like to mention Dr. Lynch who was with me throughout the process as well.I’m happy to say that I’m fully recovered and would recommend Dr. Niver without reservation. For anyone looking for an Orthopedist, look no further.

I’m a hand therapist here in Hoboken, NJ and would highly recommend Dr. Niver to any friends or family. Every patient I’ve treated from Dr. Niver has had excellent outcomes!

Dr. Niver is a brilliant surgeon who has excellent outcomes and he truly cares about his patients and the therapists he works with! I am an OT Hand Therapist in West Orange, NJ and I highly recommend Dr. Niver to any friends, family, etc..

Dr Niver confidently addressed my long-standing wrist issue. After discussing the problem, he recommended treatment which, thankfully, seems to have worked very well. He also gives out notecards with instructions, so you dont have to try to take notes or keep the details in your head.

Dr. Niver and his PA, Meagan Lynch, are a dynamic team. Dr. Niver came highly recommended. He performed my carpal tunnel surgery on each hand, two weeks apart (plus a trigger finger on each hand). I could not wrap my head around it.... I kept wondering how could I have two surgeries that close together? I trusted him and Im so glad I did. It work out fine, great, in fact. Any question/concern I had was quickly answered through the patient portal (that was how I chose to reach out to them). I recommend Dr. Niver and Meagan without any hesitation.

Dr. Niver was great! He has helped me with both my hand and wrist. Very personable and great bedside manner. If you have any hand/wrist/elbow issues, this is your guy!

Very happy I was able to find Dr. Niver and his PA Meagan Lynch to help me with my carpal tunnel syndrome. Very knowledgeable medical professionals with great beside manner, and an unmatched passion to help their patients get to where they need to be. 10/10!

I saw Dr. Niver and his physician assistant Meag for both thumbs that have been troubling me for over 4 years now. I had already been to well-known institutions like Northwestern and Rush in Chicago. But when I saw Dr. Niver, my thoughts of hopelessness disappeared. His knowledge and expertise, combined with his passion for helping me made me feel like I had some hope. My thumbs were so terrible, I could not carry anything without my thumbs giving out. I had no strength at all. I love to exercise and couldnt hold my grip on a 1 pound weight. He spent time with me, wanted to get to know me as a person, and showed deep concern for my daily activities that I had not been able to do in years. Thankfully, he said surgery was not necessary and we healed my thumbs with a brace, and physical therapy. I am grateful for his care, and truly believe he is the best hand surgeon. I highly recommend him and his team, and I believe wholeheartedly that all his patients in are the best of care.

My father saw Dr. Niver for an arthritic thumb. He was very happy with his visit and treatment program.

I am very happy that I found Dr. Niver and PA Meagan Lynch for a second opinion on my Carpal tunnel syndrome. They are truly Medical Professionals who get to know their patients, and empathize with them, providing me with a comfortable feeling from the very beginning. They performed the Carpal Tunnel surgery on both of my hands successfully (right then left), and I was using my hands the same day with the strength improving each day. Thank you!

Dr Niver performed surgery on a spiral fracture of my right ring finger. He is very skilled, perfectly realigned the bone and had my finger back to full function in less than 8 weeks. He is very professional and has a great bedside manner.

I cant say enough about Dr. Niver and his PA, Meagan Lynch. Both were very attentive and I could not have asked for more out of an unfortunate injury.I went to Dr. Niver with pain in my left thumb after an accident. He assessed it as a bennet fracture and ended up recommending surgery after a few visits and seeing the break was not healing.Being my first surgery I was nervous but upon arriving at Summit Medical Group, I was taken care of very well. I was visited by Dr. Niver as soon as I was given a bed and he assured me that everything would be fine. I felt very confident in my decision. Dr. Niver and Meagan did an excellent job on the surgery and throughout my follow up appointments.After rehab and recovery my hand is back to 100% and Im glad I picked Dr. Niver.

Dr. Niver was excellent! I was very concerned about my hand and wrist pain, but he and his wonderful staff went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and laid out a proper plan to help get everything back to normal!

I fractured my finger a year ago and came across him accidentally because the doctor I was intending to see had a full schedule . He was the absolute best- on time, great bed side manners , efficient and thorough. He then referred me to ARS hand and physical therapy and they were also fantastic . I would highly recommend .

Dr Niver made the experience of breaking my wrist, the required surgery, the pain management, the recovery and the therapy as seamless and pleasant as possible. After the first visit I knew I was in good hands. The surgery was scheduled promptly and Dr Niver thoroughly explained what to expect during and after. I recommend him highly.

After Dr. Niever operated on both my hands for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trigger Fingers my symptoms of tingling, numbing and pain have disappeared. It is so nice to be able to play the piano without pain and tingling sensations. It took me 2 years to decide to have the operations on both my hands. It was one of the best 2 decisions of my life. Dr. Niever is a great hand surgeon and also a terrific , caring individual. If you need hand surgery look no further than Dr. Niever. You will never regret it.

Horrible surgeon, had surgery and had to have another due to his splints

Dr. Niver and his team were excellent. He explained my options clearly and completely. We started with the least invasive measures and although we ultimately arrived at surgery, it was a great outcome. Dr. Niver and PA Lynch are patient-focused, friendly and clearly lay out the plan and expected outcomes as well as all risks associated with the surgery.

The nicest Dr I have met with the best bedside manner. You can tell he really cares. I drive an hour just to see him. Thanks Dr.

Dr. Niver performed my carpel tunnel release surgery and was fantastic! Recovery was painless & quick. Even during the surgery I felt nothing and the staff that was helping out made me feel at ease, and so did Dr. Niver. Just had my 2 week follow up today and my hand feels 100% back to normal. Would recommend 10/10. Thank you Dr. Niver & Meagan! Wonderful job!

Dr. Niver & the the Orthopedics staff took great care of me during my trigger finger surgery. My finger is better than new!

This is not the doctor to go to for a second opinion He is only interested in caring for his primary patients. I went here for a second opinion for a surgery, on my elbow. He spent time explaining options as well as made it a point to look up OTHER DOCTORS by me that can help me. He said I should get an MRI and didnt offer to help set up the MRI and had ZERO interest in following up with me. Niver also mentioned my current doctor repeatedly, I dont know if he knows the doctor and was intimidated by Dr. Gross experience or I was not happy that he was the second opinion doctor. Either way there is a clear bias and unwillingness to help a new patient who is an obvious excruciating pain for almost a year now.

Hands down the most personable and humble doctor I’ve ever been a patient of. Usually I have found most of my surgeons to be arrogant and dismissive, Dr. Niver was exactly the opposite of this. Took the time to listen to my problems and addressed each one individually- and they’re all fixed I may add. Highly recommend.

I thought I had a good hand doctor 2 1/2 yrs ago, but I didn’t unfortunately. I now have no dexterity of my left hand.Having severe arthritis of the rt hand now and he will not fix it, he just wants to give me steroid inj. that has done NOTHING (a total of 6 during the past 9/10 months)After getting a 2nd opinion I now have to have 2 surgeries- 1 to hopefully repair the one he messed up and the other to fix surgically the first time from severe arthritis as well.MBC

Working became extremely difficult without the movement of two of my fingers. Meanwhile, activity is a key part of my life - Paddle, Golf, RV, Boats and paddle boards. With both my hands having trigger finger and being locked up I was unable to live my life normally. Dr. Nivers and Megan helped get my hands back on track, through two surgeries. I want to give a shout out to Carol and CareBear (Clare) who talked to me and kept me calm during surgery, and are super nice and patient. I now have full use of both hands and back to playing all sports and work is extremely easier now. Anyone who has this issue, should contact Dr. Nivers office immediately and get back to what you do best everyday. They are awesome!!!!! Anthony D’Amore

Went to Dr Niver for a wrist issue. He is very knowledgeable and took time to explain what was going on. Made me feel comfortable that he would fix the problem. Would definitely recommend him!

Dr. Niver came very highly recommended and with reason. His PA, along with his entire staff, are competent and professional. Dr. Niver is a knowledgeable, experienced skilled surgeon. He is both direct and confident, providing individual attention to questions and concerns.I had multiple fractures in my right wrist. Surgery was explained and scheduled immediately. Recovering and healing expectations were clear. Dr. Niver’s extended recommendation for follow-up physical therapy was exceptional. My wrist is functionally beautifully and will continue to speak accolades of Dr. Niver and his team.

Dr Niver did not show me my injury on the the X-ray. He offered me over the counter medication for a broken wrist when I explained that I had a bad reaction to taking percocet.He asked me where I grew up, I am well over 50 years old, what is the relevance of that question other than racial profiling. And finally, he described needing to perform carpal tunnel surgery when I have never suffered from carpal tunnel. I would not recommend him to anyone!

Our experience with Dr. Niver has been outstanding!My son has required an Orthopedic Surgeons care due to sports-related injuries on two occasions over the last several years.Dr. Nivers patient attention and compassion, during a time of significant stress, is rare in todays fast paced world.His care and expertise returned my son back to health and back to the playing field, as soon as was humanly possible following his injuries.My wife and I (and son...) would highly recommend Dr. Niver and his entire staff.

I’ve suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for many years. I had my right hand done by a “specialist” at the Hospital for Special Surgery 5 years ago. Swelling and pain like you can’t imagine and it’s been a nightmare ever since. I just had my left hand done by Dr. Niver. No swelling or pain. I was making a fist on the 2nd day after surgery. Truly skilled surgeon who thoroughly explained my condition & how he would go about correcting it. A fantastic patient experience. Very highly recommend!!

His Best Orthopedic Doctor in Jersey. He has amazing experience.
