Patient Reviews

“Only the best there is!”

“This was my first time here. The ladies at the desk were very helpful, nice, and polite. I did not wait a long time in the office. I saw Dr. Parker right away, who was nice and knowledgeable. I will be going back to see him soon.”

“Pain in shoulder. Couldn't sleep. Saw Dr Gentile... Friendly,quick, but very thorough diagnosed and treated. In 3 days I was totally pain-free. I'm a triathlete, competing  in several ironman and many marathons. As such, I was very grateful for the swift help and recovery.”

“Informative & helpful. Dr. Nicholson and I discussed the options to reach the best outcomes for my problem. ”

“Dr. Torpey has treated me and members of  my family for many many years. There is one word to describe him as a physician.......amazing. Well maybe some additional words....incredible caring supportive awesome compassionate professional physician. He listens, he evaluates, he recommends and guides. What more can anyone want in a physician? His surgery and aftercare is 5 star. He is the best.”

“It was great. Dr. Nicholson and the staff made me feel like they really cared about my needs. Everyone was very polite and professional.”

“Dr. Gentile is an excellent and compassionate surgeon and Orthopaedic Care Professional. For many years now, he has been someone who has enabled me to live a far better quality of life than I ever expected due to the nature of my injuries when I first became a patient. I cannot thank him enough for all that he has done for me. He has also . . . referred me to Dr. Gabisan and Dr. Cohen and Dr. Gesell when it was required. I am extremely grateful for his care and he has also treated both of my sons at various points in time. I recommend Dr. Gentile to many friends and acquaintances and also this office in general. Also, your support staff . . . the nurses, the X-ray technicians, the people who handle appointments, surgical scheduling and billing are all amazing people. They are "Simply the Best" to take a line from Tina Turner.”

“I couldn´t have been more thrilled about my half year´s tourist visa. A dream came true. Two months into traveling, I slid off a rock at Yosemite NP and broke my foot. The dream turned into a nightmare. Over the next three days, my foot´s x-rays were examined by three different doctors: an emergency doctor, a radiologist and an orthopaedist. In the end I was told that there was a heel fracture that would heal by itself. I wasn´t willing to give up on my traveling plans yet and figured I could let the foot heal for some weeks while staying with friends in New Jersey. Those friends, when they heard my story, immediately recommended Professional Orthopaedic Associates for me to have a second (fourth) opinion. Dr. Gabisan knew right away that this was a serious injury and surgery was needed. He identified a dislocated tendon as part of the problem even before the CT scan confirmed it. I did not like what I heard, in fact, I was deeply shocked. But the clear, calm and unwavering way in which Dr. Gabisan delivered that bad news made me trust in his expertise right away. I underwent surgery and two weeks later, looked at the new x-rays. There are no words for the relief and joy that I felt when I saw with my own eyes that everything inside my foot was back in place. I cannot even begin to think what my further life would have looked like, had I believed the first doctors and let the foot be. Most likely, my mobility would have been limited for the rest of my life. I´m an active person: being out there in nature, hiking and climbing, means the world to me. But it wasn´t only the fact that Dr. Gabisan fixed the foot so beautifully. During a time of emotional turmoil, he and his team took care of me with so much kindness and gentle patience that I cannot help but feel the deepest of gratefulness. Sometimes a smile, an open ear and the willingness to explain things for a third time, when a patient feels upset, stressed and confused, seem just as important as medical expertise and surgical skills. I felt seen as a person with a story, with tremendous anxieties and hopes, not just "the fractured heel". After three doctors screwed it up, I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Gabisan to screw me together. Even though my travels are over for the time being, I know now that I will be able to travel again and explore new places of beauty and wonder on two healthy and strong feet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to a wonderful team, to a doctor who has clearly had a vocation for doing exactly what he does, for the benefits of everyone lucky enough to discover this practice. Dear. Dr Gabisan, you will always be my he(el)ro.”

“I am always extremely pleased with the care I receive when I see Dr. Foos. He is very caring, gives me as much time as I need, and always explains everything. I am very fortunate to have him as my doctor.”

“17 years ago, I first saw Dr. Bade following a skiing accident, which injured my left shoulder. Following x-rays, it was determined I had damaged my rotator cuff. Rather than move towards surgery, he recommended I start with physical therapy. He insisted to see if that would solve the problem, bring back my range of motion and ultimately relieve the pain. It worked and I never forgot that option to avoid surgery.Now nearly 20 years later, I again came to see him for a second opinion. I was experiencing recurring pain in my left hip and another orthopaedic surgeon was recommending a total hip replacement after seeing me one time. Again, Dr. Bade, upon reviewing my x-rays, did not believe surgery was necessary at this stage and that I should begin a process of exercise and therapy to see if I could find relief that way. Here I am, 7 months later and pain free with the old hip. I can't say enough good things about this group!”
