Patient Video Reviews

  • “I have been with Professional Orthopedics and Dr. Foos for 16 years and find that he has been great in treating me for my knees, shoulder, and hip. I also see Dr. Gabisan for my right foot that has problems, and he has helped me along the way and he also has been great with me. I also have seen Dr. Swick, which I first had seen and helped me along the way. I have found the doctors and staff to be exceptional and I have recommended them to all my friends.”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Torpey, I have not heard from you in a few years. I hope you are doing well, my parents tell me you have not changed one bit. I wanted to reach out and thank you very sincerely for the care you have given my mom while she has been dealing with her injury. On a weekly basis she has had nothing but spectacular things to say about you and your bedside manner. You inspired me to become a surgeon years ago, and you continue to impress and give me the drive to become better with each patient that I see. I cannot thank you enough for the attention you have paid my family, we are lucky to have you caring for us. Happy holidays! Sincerely, Anthony”

  • “I came to Dr. Bade for a second opinion about a shoulder problem. He took the time to educate me about my condition and lay out a plan to proceed with treatment. Dr. Bade’s vast experience and knowledge set me on the right path to recovering. I’m so thankful for him. ”

  • “Dear Dr. Gabisan, Thank you for helping my daughter, Hope, with her toe/toenail problems. I hope you enjoy these Greek pastries.”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I've been a patient of Dr. Gentile since he opened his first practice in Toms River. Through the years, he's diagnosed & treated various ailments as well as done two surgical procedures on me. He once diagnosed broken bones in my leg that 2 emergency rooms couldn't find after being X-rayed. Dr. Gentile is a rarity in the world of medicine today. He never acts rushed or makes me feel like he's pressed for time. He actually listens with undivided attention! I've recommended Dr. Gentile to others & will continue to do so. Thank you, Dr. Gentile for your compassion & for helping me out of many painful situations!”

    – Michele R.

  • “Been remiss is getting to you. I wanted to thank all in the office of Professional Orthopaedic Associates for your kindness, professionalism, and demeanors. Everyone was pleasant and efficient from the front office to billing to nursing staff. Additionally, big thanks to Dr. Gesell who lived to his word. I asked if I could be dancing at my son’s wedding six weeks from my surgery on March 21 and he delivered! Again, thank you all and I would recommend your practice to anyone.”

    – Ken D.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Just a quick note to thank you and your "hands" for the expert injections last week! My right knee feels very good and my miserable left knee is good enough to let me go on vacation. Thank you.  ”

    – Carrie M.

  • “Dr. Plyler really listens to his patients and does not dismiss symptoms as trivial quirks. He is thorough and professional and pays attention to details, always trying to help patients recover with as little pain as possible. ”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Great bunch of guys. Motorcycle accident injury. They treated me and found no operation needed, just physical therapy. What a relief not to go under the knife. Thanks, guys!”

    – Carmen D.

  • “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. ”
