Skylands Orthopaedics

We’ve had the privilege of working with Jillian, the physician assistant at Skylands Orthopedists, multiple times over the past few years, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable medical professionals we’ve encountered. Our entire family—across different ages and a wide range of orthopedic issues—has been under her care, and each experience has been consistently outstanding.

From back pain to shoulder injuries, hip bursitis to knee problems, and even torn ligaments, Jillian has handled each case with a level of attentiveness and clinical expertise that gave us complete confidence in her care. She listens carefully, explains every step of the diagnosis and treatment clearly, and always approaches her patients with empathy and respect.

In addition to Jillian’s exceptional care, the office staff at Skylands Orthopedists deserves special recognition. They are always kind, professional, and willing to help—whether it’s scheduling appointments, answering questions, or navigating insurance details. Their support makes each visit smooth and stress-free.

It’s rare to find a provider who combines deep knowledge with such a personal and thoughtful approach. We’re truly grateful to have Jillian and the entire team at Skylands involved in our family’s care and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of orthopedic support.

I've been to Skylands Orthopedic three times now with each of my three kids, and every experience has been excellent. The staff is professional, friendly, and very patient, especially when working with children. They made each visit smooth and stress-free. I really appreciate the great service and care we received every time. Highly recommend!

Dr Jillian at Advocare in Hackettstown is freaking AMAZING. Very informative & knowledgeable. Got an appointment next day AND cortisone shot same day. Barely had paperwork finished before they're calling me into exam room. In and out in 30 minutes. Not rushed, but efficient. In fact, the entire staff is on point. Highly recommend for orthopedic care.

My experience with Skylands was very pleasant! I was seen by Jillian Diionno PA as well as Dr John Murphy - both treated me with great care and were able to get to the root of my pain very quickly. They are very thorough and care a lot about patient care. Highly recommended this office and doctors for anyone who is experiencing pain! Recommended to my step father who received the same care. Happy with my experience, very nice and make you feel heard!

My family has been helped countless times over decades now by the doctors and PA Jillian at Skylands Orthopedics. From initial calls to schedule, where the office staff has been very accommodating to get us the first available appointment for routine matters, to squeezing us in for emergencies, we have had professional and pleasant interactions. Our care has been comprehensive, with up to date procedures, and follow up through full recovery. We highly recommend this practice.
