Dr. Cahill is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and a fellowship-trained sports medicine and reconstruction specialist. His award-winning private practice, Cahill Orthopedic Sports Medicine and Joint Replacement, is proudly affiliated with Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey.

“My initial approach to most injuries is a non-operative attempt to avoid surgery when possible. When surgical treatment is necessary, current reconstructive techniques can return patients to a full level of activity. Over the past five years, surgical techniques have advanced considerably. We are able to achieve excellent levels of success in patient satisfaction. We are also much better in controlling the discomfort often associated with surgical treatment specifically, joint replacement surgery” expressed the doctor.
In practice for over twenty years, he is a senior attending physician and one of the founding members of the Center for Joint Replacement at Hackensack Medical Center. He is also affiliated with Holy Name Hospital and Valley Hospital.
