Patient Video Reviews

  • “Dr. Nicholson zeroed in on what was causing my pain and treated it with an injection during my visit. Injection provided immediate results. Dr. Nicholson took the necessary time to examine me and explain everything.”

    – Dan M.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Torpey and the team at Professional Orthopaedic Associates saved my life.  I had a rare dislocation - my right sternoclavicular joint was dislocating, and pressing into my throat and affecting the nerves going into my chest.  Before the surgery, I had lost 1.5 liters of my lung volume and had elevated CO2.  I had to go on a home ventilator to lower the CO2 and help me breathe.  The dislocation was so rare that no one knew who could help - then I was referred to Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Torpey. Dr. Torpey used a donor tendon to secure my collarbone to my sternum.  Within 3 days my chest wall started to move right, and within 2 weeks the CO2 levels stayed down.  Within 4 weeks, I no longer needed the ventilator.  By August I was back to riding my bike.  I am now able to work full time instead of part time. Thanks to Dr. Torpey, I have a second chance, and a healthier life.”

  • “Dr. Foos has treated me a few times, including surgeries. He's professional, knowledgeable and explains his findings in detail. I never feel rushed at my visits and also when I ask questions. The folks at the front desk always appear to be in a good mood and are always informative. I have and will continue to recommend patients to your practice.”

  • “I admire Dr. Bade for his expert medical knowledge, his thorough explanations, and the professional manner in which the practice is conducted. Not to mention the efficiency of the method.”

    – Nancy C.

  • “I can't say enough about the experience my son and I had with Dr. Gabisan and the entire staff. My son came in as an emergency and ended up needing surgery that same evening. From the front desk with their warm welcome and efficient demeanor, to the X-ray staff, handling my son with care and respect. This was all new to me, and Dr. Gabisan's surgical coordinator, Rosanne, walked me through it all, with recommendations and patience. I can't say enough about the doctor himself. He explained all options, let me know what he considered the best course of action, and was able to keep us both calm in the process. My son is recovering beautifully, and the surgery was a resounding success!  ”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Please forward this email to the GREAT Dr. Harry Bade as he is the wizard who performed my partial knee replacement in 2005 and look at what I'm doing 5 years later. I sing the praises of Dr. Bade every time someone comments on how high I jump (not bad for a 46yr old, huh?). Because of you Dr. Bade, I continue to have great success with my career as an Early Childhood Music and Movement Performer/Educator!! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH!!!”

    – Scott L.

  • “Dr. Parker was great. He helped diagnose my issue and formulated a solution for my pain.”

    – Kevin K.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I initially chose your practice because of your sports medicine ads. I had a severe knee injury from a skiing mishap. Dr.Torpey was excellent. I made a full recovery. I was very interested in regaining an active lifestyle, not just walking without a limp. Success! I also appreciated not hearing, "Well, you know you are getting older...." Thank you! ”
