I would never go back to this doctor or recommend him to anyone! The staff were really sweet and helpful but he literally spent 5 minutes with me, didn't listen to me, didn't seem to care about anything I said, and after I saw another doctor for a second opinion, it turns out this guy was totally clueless. Just horrible.

Dr. Knijnikov was AMAZING! I was taken in for emergency surgery, I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. He and his team were so supportive, patient and caring. He was extremely thorough while explaining everything both prior to surgery as well as in post op. I would highly recommend Dr. Knijnikov!

Dr. Knijnikov was the absolute best support & doctor we could have asked for. Our daughter had emergency surgery for ruptured appendix, & he happened to be on call the evening we needed him. Prior to surgery, he explain what would be done in the O.R. with confidence while also taking the time to reassure us who will be anxiously awaiting results. After, Dr. K was constantly there tending to our daughter, telling details and possibilities & being patient with the drilling of questions from mom.

Had an inflamed gallbladder removed via laparoscopic surgery by Dr. Knijnikov. This was an unscheduled procedure and he put me at ease with his attention to my situation. He was very informative and attentive before and after the surgery. The procedure was explained and all questions were answered. There was minimal pain (no worse than expected) and the incisions are healing nicely. Follow up at the Glassboro office was easy to schedule and parking was readily available.
