Dr. Nasar is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute. He completed his BS in mechanical engineering at The Cooper Union in New York and earned his MD at the University of Medicine and Dentistry New Jersey Medical School. He then completed an internship and residency in orthopedics at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York. Dr. Nasar also participated in a fellowship in joint replacement surgery at the Desert Orthopedic Center in Nevada. Through his education, he completed an extra year of specialization in minimally-invasive total joint replacements surgery.

Today, Dr. Nasar is the Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at CentraState, in Freehold, New Jersey. In addition, he is a professional member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the Monmouth County Medical Society, the New Jersey Medical Society, and New Jersey Orthopedic Society.

Dr. Nasar developed an interest in artificial joint design during his specialized training in biomechanics and biomaterials at The Cooper Union. His experience as a mechanical engineer gives him an intimate knowledge of the design and function of artificial joint prostheses that enables him to select the most appropriate device for each patient. He uses the most advanced bearing surfaces, such as ceramic and enhanced polyethylene, for maximum longevity. He has been an early adopter and has provided feedback to designers regarding advanced surgical techniques such as computer-assisted joint replacement surgery and patient-specific instrumentation, which have been created to achieve the most accurate placement of implants.

Dr. Nasar’s goals are to restore patients to their previous activity level, minimize pain, and facilitate rapid recovery. With advanced components and techniques, his objective is to perform joint replacement surgery that can last a lifetime. He has a particular interest in advanced pain management techniques, which combined with minimally invasive surgery, can lead to less discomfort and a more rapid return to work and leisure activities.
