About Me

I am a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation-trained physician with additional training in Pain Medicine. I am interested in the diagnosis and treatment of various types of chronic pain conditions including spine and joint pain. Chronic pain can be debilitating and impact various aspects of a person’s life including function and mood.

My goal is to address the ‘big picture’ and tailor treatment based on the patient’s diagnosis and needs which could include a range of interventional treatments, medications, coordinating care with physical/occupational therapists and other physicians and discussion of complementary medicine techniques.

I earned my medical degree at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark and completed a residency at Temple University Hospital/Moss Rehab in Philadelphia.

I look forward to getting to know each patient personally and addressing their unique needs. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and spending time in nature.

Dr. Dudek performed a trigger-point treatment in various locations of my back! I have had this treatment many times by other Doctors In NJ. Dr. Dudek and the staff were very professional and did a great job! I thanked them more than once! It's a painful procedure but very necessary to deal with my back pain!

Had a good experience

I don't have anything negative to say about the staff or any of the providers that I have seen. Everyone treats me with respect and dignity. I have no heard anyone talk about my weight or make "puns" about it. The doctor I had when I was in middle school treated me as a fat slob and did not listen to any concerns that I had with my body or health. This did not encourage me to go to the doctor for anything. I decided to give doctor Bosi a chance, and it was the best decision I made.

Very helpful and knowledgeable related to my current back pain issues.

01/08/2024
Very kind and freindly

This provider got me in within 2hours of me finding out injections were denied by my insurance. She was able to do an exam, explain what was going on and advised that the injection would be best for both sides, and that she will submit the information to my insurance stating why the injections were needed. I was in and out in a timely manner with an exam that was done to show myself and my insurance that this issue really does exist

12/19/2023
My provider appreciated my pain and difficulty walking and got me in for a procedure quickly to ease my pain
