Patient Reviews

“Dr. Gesell did a knee replacement on me and the experience was surprising. As with any surgery of this magnitude you expect a lot of pain. I had next to none which was very unusual according to a number of friends who had the same procedure. As a lot of people do, I put off the operation for fear of what I would have to go through. If you have to go through it this is the way to go. P.S.  I think the great x-rays taken at the office helped too!”

“I blew out my left distal bicep tendon during a regular gym workout, nothing heroic just the usual. Dr. Johnson shortly saw me, diagnosed me accurately and quickly while running me through all possible surgical and nonsurgical options as well as their outcomes. I opted to perform the surgical repair, and it was the best possible experience that surgery can be. The pain was minimized, and follow up was both personal and professional. Thank you to Dr. Johnson and all of his staff big shout out to his assistant Beth Conway!”

“I just want to express my thanks and gratitude to my spinal surgeon, Dr. Jason Cohen, for his professionalism and expertise. Dr. Cohen treated me for my lower back issues and made it possible for me to cycle again...pain-free!”

“I was very impressed with Dr. Gesell's professional approach to my knee problems. He was very reassuring about my choices and reminded me to keep all options open. I will be coming back soon for followup knee injections. ”

“Came to see Dr. Bade after an incident that happened over a year prior where I experienced a pain like no other while trying to lift heavy dresses over my head after picking up their hangers from behind. After a thorough exam it was determined that there was nothing seriously wrong (whew!) and that some light exercise would help.  While other doctors might have gone for more expensive tests or physical therapy or prescription medication, Dr. Bade always takes the time to listen to me, ask additional questions, and do a thorough hands-on examination. I know I'm in good hands (literally).”

“Dr. Torpey is professional, compassionate, and always personable. His care is exemplary and because of him, I have avoided the need for a joint replacement for nine years.”

“I may be biased because Glenn is my husband's nephew but be that as it may, Glenn is an excellent, top-notch orthopedic surgeon par excellence. I highly recommend him for problem needing orthopedic intervention.”

“Dear Dr. Bade, Too often in today's world all of us are quick to complain. I would feel remiss if I personally did not say "thank-you" for the two hip replacements that you performed on me over the past three years and most recently in Jan of this year. To say the least the success of these two total hip replacement operations has improved my quality of life. In addition I would like to say "thank-you" to the entire staff at Professional Orthopedic Associates for the way they treated me. This includes the front office staff, the X-ray technicians, the business personnel and a special "thank-you" to Patty Orlando. All personnel have treated me in the most professional standards and I as one have always appreciated this. Have a good day, keep the faith, and keep smiling. Sincerely, ~ A totally "hip" patient.”

“Very friendly staff. Dr. Nicholson was thorough and took the time to clearly explain the issue and steps to take toward recovery. Overall a very good experience. ”

“I had x-rays and saw Dr. Gesell for mild hip pain about three months after he performed my hip replacement surgery. He diagnosed what he thought was causing the pain, and I followed his instructions to reduce pain, which worked after about a week, as he expected. Dr. Gesell has provided excellent care before and after my hip surgery, which I consider a complete success, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering hip replacement.”
