Dr. Queler, who grew up in Bergen County, is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in both the operative and non-operative treatment of foot and ankle problems. He has been honored as a New Jersey Top Doctor by New Jersey Monthly for seven years, from 2015 to 2021, and has received other prestigious honors, including Top Doctors from Castle Connolly, Jersey’s Best, New York Magazine, and New York Metro Area, as well as Vitals’ “Most Compassionate Doctor.” He has advanced training in foot and ankle limb salvage, deformity correction, sports injury, arthroscopy, and trauma procedures.
Dr. Queler completed his undergraduate training at Washington University in Saint Louis, Missouri, where he was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society, and obtained his medical degree at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, where he was president of the Phi Rho Sigma medical fraternity. Following his orthopaedic residency training at UMDNJ in Newark, New Jersey, he had the honor of completing his foot and ankle fellowship with Dr. Keith Wapner, 2010 president of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. After completing his training, Dr. Queler was the Division Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery at Winthrop University Hospital, where he was both a principal instructor for orthopaedic residents and the team physician for the Adelphi University Dance Company in Garden City, New York. Most recently, Dr. Queler was a partner in private practice in Nutley, New Jersey.
More than anything, Dr. Queler takes great pride in taking care of patients, seeing positive results, and providing exceptional, personal care. While there is nothing more rewarding than saving a patient’s limb, even the small victories and personal connections are what transform Dr. Queler’s work into a passion.
