Patient Reviews

“I wanted to thank Dr. Gabison and the staff at Professional Orthopedics for all you did to insure my recovery. I was able to enjoy a great ski vacation and I even did some snowshoeing. Thank you again.  ”

“Enjoyable experience with Dr. Bade. His professional and caring staff. Hip surgery went very well because of this great team. Thank you.”

“Come February 2010 it will be three years since I was the recipient of bilateral knee replacements at Riverview Medical Center. you were the "handy man" who performed the surgery. Prior to my surgery you asked what I most wanted to do when I got my "new knees". Although I had been an avid marathon runner I responded that what I truly wanted to be able to do again was dance with my eight grandchildren. By July of 2007, only five months post op, I was cutting a rug. I was so pleased I kept thinking to myself that I must write down how I felt about my decision to have the surgery and your expertise in performing the surgery and send you off a thank you note. Often life gets in the way of the best of plans and thus it was with my note. Oh, I'd think about it again as I did my three to five mile walk every morning and every time I'd climb a ladder to clean a drain, change a light bulb or dart out of my seat to answer the door bell. Yet, i never wrote the note. Some part of me figured that you must get many notes from more than satisfied patients. I lived my life, a better live now, and the knees just became "my knees" - not the replacement knees - just "my knees". The other day I received the Meridian Healthviews (Riverview's magazine) in the mail. Thumbing through the magazine I came to an article about a guy who had had a bilateral knee replacement. Reading about this man I though, "Wow, a guy who had a bilateral knee replacement". In the instant that I had that thought I realized that I was thinking of myself as someone who had the original equipment and not anyone who had anything in common with the guy in the article. I guess that is the ultimate in defining all that a successful bilateral knee replacement surgery can be - my knees are now one with me. Thank you, Dr. Harry Bade, it's been a long time coming but thank you very, very much.”

“My injuries required a tag team effort from Dr. Gabisan and Dr. Gesell. After successfully repairing my fractured fibula, broken ankle, and torn patella tendon, I am on the long road to recovery and rehab. Both doctors I and the whole staff have been incredible the entire process! Always helpful and responsive addressing any questions or concerns and making sure my needs are met. I am glad I chose Professional Orthopaedic Associates!”

“I met Dr. Bade over15 years ago when he operated on my knee. I had previously gone for a first opinion to another orthopaedic doctor. When I explained that the other doctor wanted to realign my knee, Dr.  Bade strongly disagreed and said that I should not allow anyone to do that. He explained that the knee is like a traverse rod that runs smoothly. When you realign it, it will not run as smoothly as it should. I felt comfortable with the advise he gave me and he did my surgery soon after. Well, Dr. Bade was correct. It's been at least 15 or more years since then and I haven't had any problems since then. In recent years, I have gone to him for a hip problem and more recently, a shoulder problem. His careful examinations and correct diagnosis of my problems have been the key to my successful health outcome in each case. I have recommended Dr. Bade to many of my friends and coworkers in the Manalapan school system over the years and everyone has come back to thank me for recommending him. They all feel lucky to have found such a good and honest man as well as the best orthopaedic surgeon in our area. I might add that he never rushes you during his office visits. He takes as long as necessary to complete his diagnosis and he also takes the time to chat about life in general. I like that in a doctor. Most doctors today barely give you a chance to speak and rush you out the door. Dr. Bade is not that type of doctor. He is so respectful.”

“The entire visit was efficient without any real waiting. The Doctor knew his stuff and listened to what I had to say.”

“Dr. Foos is a terrific Doctor that I would highly recommend to anyone (and I have & they agreed)!!! He is very thorough, will listen to all questions and demonstrates patience when treating his patients. He is also has great bedside manner! He took care of my knee (surgery) and he and the staff were amazing!”

“Dr. Gesell is very personable and thorough with information and questions regarding both knee replacement surgeries. I was very pleased with my post surgery results and have highly recommended him. His assistant, Amanda, was always very pleasant and helpful with any issues I had.”

“Dr. Bade did rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder, which turned out to be quite extensive. He has been quite honest with me about the length of recovery, but all is going according to plan. It is slow, but progressing well.”

“Twelve years ago you repaired an injury to my left foot. Your talents and knowledge are the reason I can still live a full life. May God continue to bless you!”
