Dr. Fechisin is a board certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic joint replacement surgeon from Blairstown, New Jersey.

To help deliver the best possible outcomes, Dr. Fechisin is fully trained in the use of robotic surgery for these joints, including the use of Intellijoint for his patients’ replacements.
