Dr. Gordian U. Ndubizu is working to enhance surgery performed after trauma – accidents, injuries, infections and other unexpected conditions that require immediate attention. He is part of an expansion of services, joining a team of surgeons dedicated to trauma cases. “Having a dedicated trauma acute care surgery team takes pressure off the other specialists and helps us deliver the highest level of care. It’s better for the patients, the medical staff and the hospital,” Dr. Ndubizu says. Dr. Ndubizu is board-certified in both general surgery and surgical critical care by the American Board of Surgery.

Dr. Ndubizu was inspired towards a career in healthcare at a young age. His path towards critical care began when his grandfather suffered a stroke. “I was with him. He went from independent one day to a wheelchair and unable to speak the next. That’s when I became interested in helping the sickest people,” he recalls. Fortunately, his grandfather recovered and lived many more years. His passion is undimmed, especially for helping those in serious condition. “At the end of the day, it’s about doing your best, everything you could have done,” he says. Philosophy of Care “In big cities and small rural communities, everyone deserves the best care, regardless of background, economics or how sick they are. As a physician, my obligation is to help make that happen.” Personal Interests Dr. Ndubizu is returning to the Garden State; he grew up in Mercer County.
