General Practitioners

Cryotherapy
A common type of precancer, actinic (solar) keratosis typically appears as a scaly or crusty bump on the skin's surface. It is usually treated with cryotherapy to prevent it from becoming malignant.
Medical Weight Loss
Primary Care
We are proud of our state-of-the-art vascular laboratory conveniently located in our Plainsboro office. Dr. Kenneth A. Goldman is the director of the ICAVL certified laboratory. All studies are performed by either Stephanie Napoli or Mohini Vankadhara, both registered vascular technicians. In many cases, appointments for procedures in the vascular lab will be followed by a formal visit with one of our vascular surgeons. Reports are always sent to the referring primary care physicians. Click here to read more about our Vascular Lab.
Emergency Care
We currently participate with many insurance companies, including traditional fee-for-service programs as well as many health maintenance organizations. We are happy to see and care for all patients. HMO plans limit patient options and only allow us to see patients if we are a member of the HMO. We are members of many HMO plans. PPO plans allow patients to see any doctor out-of- network. Our office is happy to accommodate these patients. Please call or email us with your questions prior to your visit and our billing staff can clarify what is covered during your visit. State law mandates that surgical emergencies seen in the emergency room can be cared for by any physician. This is regardless of whether the surgeon participates in your plan or not. Your insurance should cover this contingency. We are always happy to care for any patient in an emergency situation. Please note that this list is a reference tool only. For confirmation of participation with your specific policy, you may want to contact your insurance carrier or our billing department at 609.936.9100 extension 221.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a diagnostic procedure performed to examine the inside of the colon and rectum; it is used to determine causes of abdominal pain; rectal bleeding; and changes in bowel activity. It is also used to detect early signs of cancer. Colonoscopies are recommended every 10 years for everyone between the ages of 50 and 75. They may be recommended more frequently, or at a younger age, for people at elevated risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), typically patients with certain medical conditions or with a family history of the disease. Colonoscopies are also performed as follow-ups to other screening tests with positive results, such as a fecal occult blood tests.

Bladder Cancer
Dr. Elsa Marisol Pichardo is a board-certified general surgeon. She specializes in both benign and malignant hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease and surgery. Dr. Pichardo has extensive training in liver tumors, liver cysts, gallbladder disease, gallbladder cancer, pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, and pancreatic cancer. Dr. Pichardo practices both minimally invasive and open surgical approaches.
Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is cancer that develops in the large intestine. Cancer occurs when healthy cells become altered, growing and dividing in a way that keeps the body from functioning normally. Most cases of colon cancer begin as small, benign clusters of cells, or polyps, on the lining of the colon. Certain types of these polyps, called adenomas, can become malignant. It is safest to have such polyps removed at an early stage when they have not yet become cancerous.
Endoscopy
Sarah Hodge is the supervisor in our scheduling department and has been with Princeton Surgical Associates for many years. All procedures to be done in the hospital, endoscopy center, and the out-patient surgery center are scheduled through this office. We realize scheduling surgery can be very stressful. During this time, any questions, information, or concerns related to your procedure can be addressed to our surgical scheduling coordinator. Please click here for important information you should know before scheduling your surgery.
Prostate Cancer
Colonoscopies are important because they can detect prostate cancer in its early stages, and remove suspicious rectal polyps before they become malignant.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Thyroid Cancer
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the throat that controls the body's heart rate, temperature and metabolism. Cancer of the thyroid gland can interfere with that contol, and lead to other complications. Fortunately, thyroid cancer can usually be successfully treated through minimally invasive methods. Thyroid tumors are somewhat common, and most are not cancerous. Cancer can develop as a result of age, exposure to radiation, or having a family history of goiters, cancer or other diseases. The thyroid is made up of follicular cells and C cells, either of which may develop cancer.

Ultrasound
During sclerotherapy, a solution of saline and a sclerosant is injected into the damaged veins. This will cause irritation in the affected veins and produce their eventual collapse. During this procedure, the surgeon is guided through the use of ultrasound to ensure precision. When the weakened veins collapse, they will be reabsorbed into the body and other healthier veins will take their place in the circulatory system.
MRI
A sample of rectal tissue may be taken, and sent to a lab for analysis. If rectal cancer is diagnosed, X-rays, CT scans and MRI scans may be performed to determine if cancer cells have spread within the rectum or to other parts of the body.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Graves' disease is diagnosed through a physical examination and a blood test to determine the patient's serum level of thyroid hormones. Imaging tests such as a CT scan or MRI scan may also be performed. Since the thyroid gland requires iodine to produce its hormones, the physician may also order a radioactive iodine uptake test.
Chemotherapy
Surgery is the most common form of treatment for rectal cancer at any stage of its progression. There are several types of surgery used to excise or destroy malignant tissue and a surrounding margin. For some patients, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or biological therapy are performed instead of, or in addition to, surgery.
Radiation Therapy
Additional standard treatments include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, thyroid hormone therapy and targeted therapy. Thyroid cancer may be slow-growing enough to allow treatment to be delayed, although anyone who chooses to postpone treatment should be closely monitored by a physician.

General Surgery
In addition to her compassionate surgical oncology practice, Dr. Pichardo also has a very active practice in benign general surgery disease, including repair of several different types of hernias and removal of masses or growths in the skin, fat and muscle. She performs several different types of surgical biopsies. She performs surgery in both a hospital setting as well as an outpatient surgical center. She strives to have the best outcome for her patients and aim for quick recovery to get her patients back to a healthy state.
Wound Care
Your doctor will determine which type of wound care is best for you after an initial evaluation of your wound size, location and severity.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Jordan specializes in general, oncologic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic surgical procedures. This includes laparoscopic hernia repairs using modern mesh techniques, component separation techniques, and laparoscopic hiatal hernia repairs. Laparoscopic colon surgery was introduced to Princeton in the 1990’s by Dr. Jordan in conjunction with Dr. Davison. In addition to doing endoscopic polypectomies and balloon dilitation of colon strictures, he also frequently treats diverticulitis and colon cancers with modern laparoscopic operations that shorten recovery time and involve minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Jordan also contributes his time to many cancer awareness programs.
Gangrene
To repair a hernia of any type surgery is necessary. Surgery is usually recommended when hernias are large or are interfering with the patient's normal activities, but may also be undertaken prophylactically to prevent the danger of future incarceration or strangulation. When strangulation occurs and blood flow is cut off to the patient's tissue, that tissue begins to die and gangrene is a possible consequence. Once this happens, emergency surgery is required.
Vascular Surgery
Dr. Goldman is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He is double board-certified by the American Board of Surgery in both General and Vascular Surgery. He is a Registered Vascular Technologist and is Medical Director of the Princeton Surgical Associates Noninvasive Vascular Laboratories. Dr. Goldman is a member of the Society for Vascular Surgery, the Peripheral Vascular Surgery Society and the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery.
Robotic Surgery
Dr. Davidov is an expert general surgeon who has trained many surgical residents not only with hernia, gallbladder, thyroid, and parathyroid surgery, but also with other minimally invasive surgery techniques, robotic surgery, surgery of the colon, small bowel, appendix, stomach, pancreas, spleen, and adrenal, as well as other complex abdominal surgery, emergency surgery, and trauma.
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopic hernia surgery is minimally invasive. In this type of procedure, the surgeon makes several small incisions. As a result, laparoscopy results in less scarring, less bleeding, less pain, and a shorter recovery time, usually 1 to 2 weeks.

Breast Surgery
Dr. Dhir remained in New York City as an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Mount Sinai. She was also a Surgical Attending at Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens and the Director of the Elmhurst Hospital Breast Center for five years before joining Princeton Surgical Associates in 2004. She joined this practice highly qualified in all aspects of general surgery including oncologic, gastrointestinal, anorectal, colorectal, advanced laparoscopic and breast surgery.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Dr. Pichardo graduated with high honors from Rutgers University in 2004. She obtained a Doctorate of Medicine at Columbia University, College of Physician and Surgeons, New York, NY in 2009. She then completed her general surgery residency training at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers University, where she was awarded multiple recognition, including the John H. Landor teaching award. Dr. Pichardo then completed a two-year complex Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Fellowship at Oregon Health and Science University.Her research efforts regarding liver disease have been published in scientific journals for nearly a decade. She has presented at multiple academic meetings and conferences both nationally and internationally. She has completed certification in fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery and received Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA) accreditation in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. She is a member of multiple surgical societies including the American College of Surgery, AHPBA, and IHPBA.
Bariatric Surgery
Following his general surgery residencies, Dr. Juha completed a fellowship in Bariatric Surgery at the University Medical Center of Princeton. During this fellowship, he acquired the advanced laparoscopic skills necessary to perform minimally invasive surgery for the most complex intra-abdominal conditions. After his advanced surgical training, Dr. Juha joined the surgical faculty at New York Methodist Hospital as an attending surgeon and served as a clinical instructor for surgical residents and medical students.

Skin Cancer
Skin cancer, which is the most common form of cancer in the United States, is the result of the abnormal growth of skin cells. Cancer can affect skin anywhere on your body, but most frequently appears on skin that is exposed to the sun. Although it can usually be treated successfully, some cases are life-threatening, so it is essential for people to be proactive in caring for their skin and that of their children. Early detection is the most important element of effective treatment.
