We are in the Watchung mountains atop the most eastern ridge. Looking westward lies a valley.
Looking eastward we overlook
New York City.
Follow route 78 to route 24 to (the) Summit and follow the light blue hospital signs to us.
We are carved into the mountain. For that reason the ground floor (the main floor) of the main building is the fifth floor. The main
entrance is to the fifth floor.
Entering on the 5th floor, you are in the main lobby. Ahead is the auditorium. To the extreme right is a fancy schmancy restaurant.
But that's NOT us. Go back outside. Over toward the right - directly across from the parking lot is another entrance -
to the FOURTH FLOOR. No, it doesn't seem to be that much lower. It is. Hills do that. Use the fourth floor entrance.
Here it is. Straight ahead, on the right just past the information desk in the corridor is the elevator area. That elevator
takes you down to the FIRST floor where MRI lives and where we live.
The fourth floor travels beneath the roadway from which you just entered. You can walk to the medical arts building
and pharmacy without going outside (nice in the rain or snow). Main x-ray (a huge department) is on the fourth floor beyond the elevator that takes you to us.
For now, take the elevator to the first floor and just go straight ahead when you get off on the first floor to find us.
Claustrophobic ? Don't be. The first floor opens to the street on the back of that mountain - Morris Avenue. Oversized
vehicles can park here and enter directly. Just know that there is construction here related to tearing out walls to get ever newer MRI units in and out.
We are right inside this door - just off Morris Avenue. The back door.
We are Pediatric Orthopedics / Children's Neuromuscular Center. How many spellings can you count on our signs?
Don't go to "Pediatrics". That's general pediatrics in a whole different part of the hospital. We have
a fish tank. andda real tool bench with an anvil, drills and grinding equipment!
 And wrenches. And files? Grommets and rivets and
hammers - oh my. Doctors use those?
Yup. We do.

We are into problem solving and are not too prissy. We use
whatever tools it takes. Don't worry, we use the tool bench for metal and plastic working.
People keep telling us that we think outside the box.
There's a box? What box?
