Patient Reviews

“My experience with this doctor and staff was just outstanding. They are true professionals yet caring and helpful! ”

“"Dr. Torpey has given me back my mobility and my quality of life twice. Twenty years ago he did bilateral total hip replacement surgery. Nearly five years ago, he did bilateral total knee replacement. Both sets of surgery went extremely well. I have recommended Dr. Torpey to a number of people over the years and will continue to do so. I have always been pleased the care I received. The office staff is some of the best I have ever dealt with, they are always extremely helpful and professional." -- Karen C. ”

“During the past 7 years, I needed surgery on both of my shoulders. From the beginning, Dr. Gentile provided guidance and support for my injuries. Each time he performed surgery, the discomfort and pain I experienced was eliminated. Dr. Gentile explained each procedure in detail, and spent the time to show me the x-ray and MRI pictures. giving me details on why surgery was recommended. Today, I enjoy a life without shoulder pain or discomfort.”

“Dr. Giliberti explained everything thoroughly and gave me options. He was very professional. ”

“Dr. Gesell, I have been a patient of Dr. Gesell's for approximately two years. He has performed two procedures for me on my left knee. He is an amazing surgeon and person. After the procedure, I have complete use of my knee and I am virtually pain free. Most importantly, Dr. Gesell always treated me with absolute professionalism - courtesy and respect. He listened to my concerns on both the pain and use of medications during and after the procedure. He devised a plan with me to address the process of leaving behind the use of pain medications in a medically safe way after healing. I would highly recommend or refer anyone to seek out his care for there specific orthopedic needs.”

“Had hip replacement, had zero pain from in the hospital to when I was pain-free 10 days later. Hospital staff was great and could not do enough for me. This is not what I expected but it sure felt good during the entire process. After years of pain and other doctors treating my back, I can now walk again, pain-free. I am back to the gym 5 days a week, 2 hours a day and can once again ride my motorcycle. By the way, I am 70 years old and feel great thanks to Dr. Gesell.”

“The entire staff and Dr. Parker are professional, polite, and friendly. We had a minimal wait time and a complete explanation of treatment. I highly recommend Professional Orthopaedic Associates.”

“The experience I have had with Professional Orthopedics has been superb! The staff is always very welcoming & friendly! I feel like I'm visiting family when I go there. Dr. Torpey is definitely an outstanding doctor. His patient care is top notch, and I would never consider seeking a second opinion. The surgeries he has performed always resulted in my being 100%. I would highly recommend this office! Thank you for all you have done for me! I'll miss my visits, but welcome feeling great again!”

“Thank you very much for all that you have done on my behalf.  I really appreciate the time and accommodations made by your wonderful staff.  Thanks again and hopefully, I won't be seeing you soon!”
