“Dr. Nicholson is extremely knowledgeable. He explained to me in detail and has a great personality. Definitely knows what he’s talking about. I think he’s great. I think your whole firm is great. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Gesell the other day. He is also the best in the business. Your whole firm is great.”

Treating Doctor:“I cannot say how satisfied I am with the service I have always received from Professional Orthopaedic Associates. I have seen other Professional Orthopaedic physicians for various other issues and have always been very satisfied with the care I have received. I cannot say enough about Dr. Foos. He has treated me in the past, performing arthroscopic surgeries, and continues to provide me with excellent and compassionate care. I am very satisfied and cannot say enough about his care. The staff is also very accommodating and cooperative.”

Treating Doctor:“Mom knows best - Following my Rotator Cuff injury - my first phone call was to my Mom - a career rehabilitation nurse who works on catastrophic case files - the only name she gave me was Dr. Gentile at Professional Orthopaedic Associates - I'm soo glad I listened - following a successful surgery and successful physical therapy - I was back to playing golf and maintaining my 4 handicap in only 5 months - Thank you Dr. Gentile.”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Bade and Staff, I just wanted to express my thanks for extending such a generous courtesy. Your staff has been extremely helpful, polite, and very efficient. My daughter Alex is very fortunate and is very appreciative of your care for her ankle injury.”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gesell is just great. He took the time to carefully explain why the surgery was needed and how it would be done. Expected outcomes were also discussed. The pre-surgery program and the pre-surgery testing done at Monmouth Hospital were first rates preparing the day of surgery very easy and less stressful. Through diligent pre-surgery exercises and post-surgery physical therapy, I have had a successful outcome. I would recommend and have approved, Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Gesell to anyone in need of their services. ”
– James P.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gabisan is an excellent doctor. He is compassionate and takes his time with you. He explains your issues in an understanding and transparent manner. He then advises you on the best course of action, but the decision is yours to make. I have recommended a few people to him, and they have been very pleased with him. ”
– Sandra C.
Treating Doctor:“Dr Foos' care, prior to, during, and after my knee replacement surgery, was exceptional. I was a success story thanks to him. Now pain-free after years of discomfort evolving into chronic pain and instability of the point, I'm now able to resume all activities pain-free! Many thanks for the terrific care.”
– David N.
Treating Doctor:“In acute pain and without an appointment I arrived at the office the Monday after New Years Eve rather desperate for help, and gratefully, Dr. Bade saw me quickly. After an in-office X-ray, he immediately got me relief with medication and arranged an MRI and subsequent appointment with Dr. Barry Swick. Once the pain had eased I was able to go ahead with Dr. Swick who further evaluated my diagnosis with nerve testing and recommended Ron Weiss, Physical Therapist. I am continuing with the PT, which seems to help, and will consult again with Dr. Swick for a follow-up. It is the third time I have sought help with your skilled physicians. Dr Bade surgically corrected my left, rotator cuff in 2006 (which now functions well in my busy life) and advised me how to ease a meniscus tear in 2015. In each instance I felt complete confidence in Dr. Bade's expertise and advice and thank him for his wisdom at a time I was feeling such dire stress and pain. That is when you need a hero and he came through. So, thank you, Dr. Harry Bade and Dr. Barry Swick, for your care and professionalism, and to your kindly staff. Thank you so much.”
