About Dr. Michaeli

A specialist for the cases others find too complex

Dr. Oren Michaeli is a double fellowship-trained peripheral nerve and hand surgeon dedicated to treating patients with debilitating nerve conditions throughout New Jersey, New York, and Long Island.

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Michaeli has developed and taught advanced peripheral nerve cadaver courses at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Israel, and delivered educational presentations on nerve surgery advances at institutions including Holy Name Medical Center.

“My philosophy is simple: listen carefully, diagnose accurately, and deliver surgical solutions that restore quality of life.”

Philosophy of Care

Care that begins with listening

Dr. Michaeli’s approach begins with listening. He takes time to understand each patient’s complete story — how their condition affects daily life, what treatments have been tried, and what their goals are for recovery. This understanding informs personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s circumstances.

Patients consistently highlight his accessibility and responsiveness. He provides his personal cell number, responds promptly to questions and concerns, and remains actively involved throughout recovery — creating an environment where patients feel supported and confident in their care.

Listen carefully. Diagnose accurately. Deliver surgical solutions that restore quality of life.
