Read what our patients are saying about Professional Orthopaedic Associates.
“I was told ... that I needed a knee replacement. Since my pain started after an injury and I didn't have chronic pain before, I went for a second opinion to Dr Foos. He disagreed. I had confidence in him because he explained everything to me in plain English. The staff were very reassuring, pleasant and kind: something missing at most Dr offices today. I had the arthroscopic surgery and feel great. In the past I also had a successful diagnosis from Dr Swik on my shoulder. The center where the surgery was performed is better than some hospitals.”
– Audrey K.
Treating Doctor:“The office runs very efficiently. Dr. Nicholson was very thorough, calm, and patient in explaining everything to me. He was kind and knowledgeable. I can say the same about the office staff. Very nice first experience with this practice. ”
– Victoria M.
Treating Doctor:“I was in pain, had difficulty walking, and the problem was getting worse. Upon consulting with Dr. Gesell, it was found that I had severe arthritis in both hips. I had both hips replaced, the right on March 12, 2013 and the left on April 30. Both surgeries went smoothly, and I remain pain-free.”
– Deborah C.
Treating Doctor:“The entire visit was efficient without any real waiting. The Doctor knew his stuff and listened to what I had to say.”
– Matt H.
Treating Doctor:“As an avid outdoor sportsman and active volunteer in two organizations that promotes Conservation of our NJ Natural Resources through the use of proper forestry stewardship, hunting, fishing and trapping, it was too painful to maintain my sports and volunteerism with the constant pain in my knee, hip, and lower back. Knowing that I had bone on bone in my knee, I opted to visit Dr. Gesell after attending one of his seminars on Robotic Surgery. He recommended that I get an epidural spinal injection. I had the injection preformed this morning by a doctor at the Premier Pain Center, also a recommendation by Dr. Gesell, and now after 5 hours, I am 95% pain free. Thank you, Dr. Gesell.”

Treating Doctor:“... thank you again for the excellent treatment you gave me yesterday. I wanted you to know that you are true to your reputation as the best orthopaedic surgeon in the area. I am very happy that I wont be spending the holiday season in a cast. Again, thank you so much and my wife and daughter thank you too.”
– R. Newland
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gabisan was great. He diagnosed the Achilles tear immediately despite my primary care physician missing it. He was thorough and transparent in the prognosis. Surgery and post-op care has been excellent. The staff has been accommodating and responsive to all my administrative questions. Overall experience was unique, and I felt like I was in excellent hands. ”
– Raj Y.
Treating Doctor:“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.”
– Sophia G.
Treating Doctor:“Wonderful staff and doctor. Very satisfied with my surgery. Would definitely recommend.”
– Lucy D.
Treating Doctor:“I have been seeing Dr. Gentile for YEARS and I love him. He takes a measured approach and wants to try everything non-invasive first. My brother needed shoulder surgery this summer, he took my advice and saw Dr. Gentile who confirmed what everyone was telling him (much to his chagrin). Unfortunately, he's a good hour north and he found a doctor closer to home. But hearing it from someone he trusted, was all he needed. Dr. Gentile is never allowed to retire. ;)”
