About our Toms River office
Address: 1314 Hooper Ave, 1st Floor, Toms River, NJ 08753 Hours: Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm
Our Toms River office at 1314 Hooper Avenue is the main home of Garden State Medical Center. It is where our pain specialists, rheumatology team and sports medicine providers work under one roof. If back, neck, joint or nerve pain is getting in the way of work, sleep or family time, this is a good place to start. We begin with a careful exam and a review of any imaging you already have. Then we explain what we think is causing your pain and what your options are. Most care here is non-surgical and image-guided. Learn more about Garden State Medical Center.
Our focus is non-surgical, image-guided care. GSMC does not perform open spine or joint surgery. If a surgical opinion would help you, we'll explain why and help with a referral.
