Hey! I am Dr. Wittig

I am currently the Chairman of Orthopedics and Chief of Orthopedic Oncology and Sarcoma Surgery at Morristown Medical Center and Atlantic Health System. Myself and my amazing team are dedicated to saving your life and your limb. Losing a limb because of a tumor can be a terrifying experience. But, it does not have to be the only option. I’ve spent 20+ years as an orthopedic oncologist and sarcoma surgeon with extensive experience in limb sparing surgery along with advanced treatments including cryosurgery, radiofrequency ablation and minimally invasive biopsies.

I’ve devoted my career to helping children and adults afflicted with bone sarcomas, soft tissue sarcomas and other types of benign and cancerous musculoskeletal tumors by performing complex limb saving surgeries. Most patients can have their limb saved, which may require intricate and innovative surgical techniques.

Patients afflicted with musculoskeletal tumors have complex conditions that are often best taken care of at large hospitals with multidisciplinary teams. My philosophy revolves around a multidisciplinary team approach including members and opinions from adult medical oncology, pediatric oncology, radiation oncology, musculoskeletal radiology, advanced practitioners and therapists amongst other important healthcare team members, all working together to tailor treatment to individual patients. Education and research are heavily incorporated into my practice. I believe that patients are provided extraordinary care when research, education and a multidisciplinary team approach are incorporated into a very compassionate, empathetic, individualized and clinically productive orthopedic oncology practice. Because of this, we have some of the top results in the country!
