“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:“For over a year or so, I was dealing with hands that were waking me up in the middle of the night. They would become numb, tingling and, painful in the middle of the night which would usually always wake me up. I'd have to hang them off the side of the bed and shake them down to attempt to regain the normal feeling back and hope that I could fall back asleep again which didn't always happen. After having had enough of this, I contacted P.O.A. and asked for Dr. Gentile for help with my condition. I had both carpal tunnel surgeries performed by him within a month and a half of each other. The condition was relieved immediately and the recovery was very quick. I am using my computer again, sleeping through the night, and playing my guitar again without any pain or further issues. I'd also have to give thanks to the P.O.A. Physical Therapy Team for all of their help post-op. Thank you all very much!”

Treating Doctor:“Had a broken bone in my arm for a month. Had seen another doctor who said it was arthritis. Dr. Bade scheduled surgery within two days. His gentle approach and kindness to me was very much appreciated . It was wonderful to have a professional with such sensitivity perform the surgery. His follow-up assured me that my arm and shoulder would return to normal. In my opinion Dr. Bade rates the highest grade.”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Cohen walked me through exactly what was going on with my back. We tried pain management before we made any decisions. Unfortunately, ultimately, I had to have fusion surgery. The surgery was clearly explained to me. It was also made very clear about my recovery path and what to expect. I am now playing tennis and riding my horse again. These things were impossible before the surgery.”
