Mission Statement
At the Ocean County Sports Medicine Center, we strive to provide our patients with the very latest in medical care for disorders of bones, joints and muscles. Dr Tauro's position at New Jersey Medical School and as a national lecturer assures our patients that they will be provided with the finest care available anywhere in the country. Our philosophy is to be compassionate, caring and friendly. We help our patients make the best decisions for preventing problems or solving them after they occur. As our patient, we will ensure that you understand the nature of your problem and take an active part in its treatment and resolution. There are many ways to treat musculoskeletal injuries and most of them do not require surgery. Surgery is recommended only when it is absolutely necessary as the best way to treat a problem.

What do we treat?
Dr Tauro specializes in the prevention and treatment of sports injuries and degenerative joint conditions. If surgery is necessary, Dr Tauro specializes in minimally invasive procedures such as arthroscopy and MIS replacement surgery to minimize patient discomfort, scarring and length of recovery and to maximize the return of function.

Because of Dr Tauro's specialization and his affiliation with New Jersey Medical School, some problems of the spine, hands or feet may be referred to an extensive list of nationally recognized subspecialists associated with the orthopedic department at New Jersey Medical School.
