Dr. Efrain Paz Jr, DO

I wanted to schedule an appointment for my active 9 y/o daughter who is having pain in her Achilles tendon area on right foot. I know she doesn't need ER care, going to her pediatrician first would be useless because CHOPS Salem Road can't MRI here there or give her an X-ray. So I call this ortho to get an initial consult and they tell me that they won't see her until AFTER I take her to her pediatrician who is only going to tell me to take her to an orthopedist! I work for the State of NJ and have excellent insurance that does NOT require a referral. I can go straight to an orthopedist without seeing her primary. Won't be using them!
