“Excellent- Dr. Foos was very understanding of my hip pain and able to explain possible causes. I appreciate his thorough yet cautionary approach to treatment. ”
– Lois W.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gabisan was great. He diagnosed the Achilles tear immediately despite my primary care physician missing it. He was thorough and transparent in the prognosis. Surgery and post-op care has been excellent. The staff has been accommodating and responsive to all my administrative questions. Overall experience was unique, and I felt like I was in excellent hands. ”
– Raj Y.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Foos performed a comfortable, successful arthroscopy on me on February 19th. My full “recovery” accomplished within less than two weeks without pain meds or crutches-immediate weight bearing and a 1-mile walk inside of two weeks. Perfect outcome!”

Treating Doctor:“My story has two parts. First, approximately 27 years ago, I was involved in an accident that required knee surgery. Dr. Bade performed surgery to reattach my ACL using two screws. While attending physical therapy, I was informed while the surgery was a huge success; I would be somewhat limited with use and range of motion in the future. I was to be out of work for six months, and I was further disappointed as I am also an avid weight lifter, and this would surely damper my workouts. How wrong the physical therapist was. I returned to work after two months, and to this day, I have full range of motion. I can do any leg exercise from squats to leg press with as much weight as I want, including several hundred pounds, I HAVE NO LIMITATIONS. Now at the age of 46, I have encountered another injury requiring surgery to my left shoulder. I had a bone spur, and tears to my labrum and rotator cuff. Another huge disappointment, as I have finally reached my life goal of bench-pressing 400 pounds. I live in upstate New York, so traveling to New Jersey for a doctor is a bit of an inconvenience, however, how could I not use the doctor that performed a miracle on my knee 27 years ago. Dr. Bade performed the surgery on my shoulder in April of this year, and once again, I was informed that heavy weight lifting would be out of the question. Once again, they were WRONG. After a lot of hard work, I was able to bench press 400 pounds in September of this same year and feel incredible. Dr. Bade is a miracle worker!”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gentile treated my son for a broken hand. He and the staff took care of my son not only medically, but really showed that they cared for him, his injury, and post visits. The professionalism was outstanding. I have already recommended others to the doctor that treated my son. Thank you for what you did, and probably will be seeing you in the future - sports :)”

Treating Doctor:“I first met Dr. Gentile in the spring for a jammed finger I incurred playing volleyball with my grandson. Dr. Gentile was great, and in no time I was feeling better. A few months later I experienced shoulder pain, an entirely new problem. Appointment with Dr. Gentile, diagnosed a rotator cuff tear off to PT for awhile it was improving then it went wrong, and I could not move my arm. Surgery scheduled. I was nervous 70+ years young rotator cuff surgery could be a robust recovery. Surgery went well pretty extensive repair needed many anchors to put me back together — pain minimal back to Yoga classes before I knew it. Just two weeks ago I experienced a severe fall I landed on my elbow resulting in a fracture to my left elbow -dislocation to the radial head, pain pretty severe. Dr. Gentile explained my course to treat would have to be a replacement of the fx bone. Surgery scheduled soonest and I am currently six days post op. Dr. Gentile has Golden Hands, no postoperative pain. I know I have a way to go with PT, but with Dr Gentile in my corner I am in the best hands. Professional Orthopedics from the first phone call to discharge superior care! I am so happy every day that I found this dedicated ,talented surgeon.”
– Sue V.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gesell is a great doctor. His competence and professionalism are the reason my surgery was so successful, and my recovery was so easy and quick. I would recommend him to others without hesitation.”
– Gloria E.
Treating Doctor:“I was very impressed. When Dr. Parker entered the exam room, I felt comfortable. He listened to and answered all my questions. He was very caring. I didn't feel rushed.”
– Donna S.
Treating Doctor:“Professional Orthopaedic Associates gave me an appointment the same day for my severe pain. Dr. Parker was empathetic, kind, patient, and professional. I’m very grateful for his immediate response to my concerns. This practice is very well run. I thank everyone in the office who was involved in this process, from scheduling an appointment to any insurance authorizations. I wish you all continued success.”
