Dr Terzella completed his residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson, JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute and then a Fellowship in Interventional Spine and Sports Medicine (with a focus on interventional spine procedures, peripheral joint procedures, regenerative techniques, and pain management) in Arizona but that was not enough.

In the majority of pain disorders the diagnosis is one that is not remedial to surgical intervention. The Physiatrist is expert in assessing for structural defects such as herniated disks, but can go beyond this. He also is expert in assessing for physiologic evidence of nerve injury or performance oriented defects that impair function.
Piedmont Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center pioneers in understanding and resolving pain. One common cause of chronic pain is the lack of a complete diagnosis.

Dr. Terzella changed the course of my life. I had spent 7 years dealing with progressively debilitating health issues with no answers despite seeing 14 doctors and specialists. He really was my last hope and after sitting down and spending a lot of time listening to my extensive medical history and symptoms, he was able to correctly diagnose what had been missed over the years by so many doctors.
He used prolotherapy to significantly reduce symptoms and increase quality of life, started treatment for another diagnosis and sent me out for the appropriate referrals. I am forever indebted to him for solving my medical mysteries and placing me on the path to healing. I recommend him to other patients often.

I have had good success with Dr. Terzella treating Lyme and mycoplasma. He is clearly qualified and knowledgeable, but respects my advocacy for myself and values my input. He has taken time to get to know me so he can understand the whole picture of my lifestyle. He is never in a rush to leave my appointment and addresses any and all questions I have.

Dr Schwartz is a miracle worker. I have been able to get my pain under control in a very short amount of time --where all other doctors have failed! I have also been able to get off all my pain medications and regain my mobility, something I never thought was possible! To sit and think that multiple doctors have recommended spinal cord stimulators and other other crazy devices, yet here I am stronger than ever showing improvements. Doctors like him are far and few between; If you are experiencing any pain, I highly recommend Dr Schwartz.
You will get personalized care and attention to address your issues. My intake was super quick, I did not need a special referral, I just called, setup an appointment and was seen right away. I even got treated on my first visit! Thank you to the amazing staff & Dr Schwartz for the above and beyond patient care.

I'm so glad I found Dr. Schwartz and his team. I didn't even realize the pain and fatigue I was experiencing COULD be managed. It's empowering to work with doctors that listen and don't just throw medicine at me and hope. We've got a plan, and I'm a part of it. I highly recommend Piedmont Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, PA, and the team.

I visited Dr. Matthew Terazella for loss of cartilage in one of my knees. The care and attention he gave me has been more than anyone could ever ask for. The Doctors at this office spend time with every patient, to make sure they understand exactly what is going on and how to best help with whatever problem you are having. Due to Dr. Matthews treatment in my knee and the referral to a top notch physical therapist I'm on my way to using my knee at least 100 times better than when I first hobbled into his office. I highly recommend Dr. Matthew and his office for their highly professional care.

I saw Dr. Schwartz approximately 12 years ago for chronic joint pain that was then diagnosed as fibromyalgia. My experience with him turned me off from doctors for years after. He performed an EMG on me and laughed when I grimaced and yelped in pain. "This only hurts if you have nerve damage, " he said while smiling at me. He then performed a large number of blood tests-which I happily paid for despite my insurance's insistence that they weren't necessary-only to have me come in for a follow up to tell me that all I needed to cure my chronic pain were vitamins only available via a multilevel marketing scheme. And, oh my goodness!
How convenient! His wife could sell these vitamins to me because she was a "representative!" Look at his other reviews. They aren't real. This guy has no professional ethics.
