“Exceptional! A 10!”

Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“Quick appointment time and pleasant experience with office personnel. Dr. Bade puts you at ease quickly, explains what is injured, and what he plans to do to repair and return me to normal life. I’m already in physical therapy and feel that my recovery will go well. I would send friends and family to see Dr. Bade or the rest of the group and would go back if I needed great care again.”
– Steven H.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Dave is an Excellent Doctor! Always goes above and beyond each and every time we see him, which is more often than I would like with all the injuries!”
– Reese Z.
Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“I was having pain and experiencing increasing difficulty walking. After a consultation with Dr. Gesell, I was found to have severe arthritis in both hips. I had my right hip replaced on March 12, 2013 and my left hip on April 30. Both surgeries went very well, and I was back to work by June 3. Dr. Gesell is an excellent surgeon, and I would recommend this practice to anyone.”
– Debbie C.
Treating Doctor:“I was delighted with every step of the process. All pre-op questions got answered clearly and patiently. The operation went flawlessly, and I walked around my block two days after the procedure. Post-operative pain was minimal, and I was soon able to do things I hadn't done in years. It felt like I'd gotten a big part of my life back. This experience was pretty much identical to the one I'd had the previous year with Dr. Gesell when he replaced my other knee. Thank you so much, Dr. Gesell.”

Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“The staff is always pleasant and helpful. I have had wonderful experiences with all my appointments. Dr. Nicholson was so pleasant and gave me all of the information that was possible to provide with all of my options. His injection technique was also wonderful. When I am ready for the shoulder replacement, he will be hearing from me. ”

Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“Dear Dr. Bade, I don't know whether the greater factor in what you have done for me is your incredible generosity or your wonderful surgical skills. To suffice it to say, no one has ever given so much of themselves for me. You truly implemented as well as motivated me to change my life physically. My appreciation for all you have done will never be underestimated or forgotten. Harry, you are one of the good guys. It is truly a blessing in my life to have you in it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

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!!”

Treating Doctor:“My husband was injured while on vacation and needed to see an orthopedic specialist as soon as he returned. I couldn’t get an appointment right away with other offices. A friend recommended Dr. Torpey. Not only was he seen that day, but the staff called and got approval within minutes from my insurance for an MRI. He had the MRI five minutes later. My husband was back in the office in two days to discuss the MRI findings and treatment. I have never experienced such professionalism and genuine concern from an office staff. Dr. Torpey spent a lot of time with us during the exams and made sure we understood every facet of the surgical procedure my husband needed. He has a warm and genuine bedside manner. I knew my husband was in good hands. I highly recommend Professional Orthopedics and will always be grateful for the wonderful medical care my husband received.”
