Before joining Premier Orthopaedic Associates of Southern New Jersey, Dr. Falconiero was the founder and owner of South Jersey Sports Medicine Centers, practicing in Turnersville and Cherry Hill, NJ for two decades.

Throughout his career, Dr. Falconiero has helped to shape orthopedic medicine by serving as both the former President of the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics (AOAO) and President of the Sports Medicine Section. For eight years he served on the Board of the AOAO and also held various positions within the Academy for the past two decades.
In the words of Robert P. Falconiero
“No injury is insignificant. You cannot always rely on an athlete to tell you he or she is in pain for fear of being sidelined. When an injury goes unattended that is when an athlete loses time on the court or field.”
