Patient Video Reviews

  • “Dear Dr. Gabisan, Thanks to you I was able to take the cruise and go on all of the shore excursions and climb hundreds of steps going to museums and cathedrals. My left foot, which had the tendon moved, held up very well. I wasn’t in pain at all. There was no swelling either. We had a wonderful trip. Thanks again.”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Cohen, Adrienne, and the whole staff. I walked in there the first time terrified and in a lot of pain. Dr. Cohen diagnosed my problem and explained why I needed neck surgery. He and Adrienne answered all my questions. The results after the operation were excellent and the follow-up care was great as well. I have been pain-free ever since. ”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Thank you, times two!  You are more than just an extraordinary doctor, but a gracious human being too. The first thank you is for successfully treating my leg pain over the past two years.  Today I can resume my active lifestyle without stress and physical pain. The second thank you is to express my appreciation for the incredible opportunity to shadow and observe surgery with you.  Changing my role as patient to student in your world, although brief, was an experience that made it definite to pursue a career in the healthcare profession.  I look forward to more observation opportunities with you.  Enjoy the rest of your summer.  ”

  • “Dr. Gesell replaced my left knee and I couldn't be more pleased. He is thorough, kind & very competent. I was only in the hospital for one night & had no pain whatsoever. I would recommend him to my family and friends. I'm a little over 8 weeks out and doing great. I've been back to pilates since week 3 and also doing therapy 3x a week. All in all, it's been a very positive experience.”

    – Ann W.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “The proof is in the video of me skiing- spinal fusion works! Dr. Cohen, thank you so much! In June, I couldn't walk, then I had my surgery. In July I rode my bike 20 miles after spinal surgery. By Labor day, I jogged a half mile. In September I was able to jog to a run at least two miles and I was swimming every other day. I started back skiing in December and I was able to be aggressive right from the get-go, powder skiing most of the winter, then onto being aggressive in the bumps, but slow! The biggest believer out there is me!! Thanks again.”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Bade is one of the best doctors I’ve known. He takes his time and explains in detail the course of action. He’s helped my son from his hip to thigh problems. I wish I would have known Dr. Bade sooner.”

    – Marilyn S.

  • “My visit was absolutely a wonderful experience. This was my first visit. From the initial reception until the completion of my examination, the visit was professional and friendly. Well done staff!”

    – Samuel P.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “My experience was as close to being a pleasure but not for the condition. My physician was outstanding, I never saw the operating room, woke up pain-free and remained so during my entire time of rehabilitation. The hospital staff treated me exceptionally well, and my two nurses kissed me good bye after my hospital stay.  My hip replacement was a success, and in retrospect if I knew what I know now, I would have had it done five years ago.  I cannot thank my doctor and the hospital staff enough for doing such a great, patient focused, customer caring effort.”

    – Jack K.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Operation on a Friday, home on Sunday. P/T in NJ and here in Miami. Knee has never been better. People say,"where's the scar", it's that good. Lost weight!!! P/T is trying to get me to run a marathon, funny I never could do that before.”

    – Roy B.

    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!”
