Patient Reviews

“Had a broken bone in my arm for a month. Had seen another doctor who said it was arthritis. Dr. Bade scheduled surgery within two days. His gentle approach and kindness to me was very much appreciated . It was wonderful to have a professional with such sensitivity perform the surgery. His follow-up assured me that my arm and shoulder would return to normal. In my opinion Dr. Bade rates the highest grade.”

“This has been my third procedure with Dr. Torpey. He has done work on both of my knees with great success. This summer after experiencing an accident in the gym I needed more urgent attention to my injured shoulder. I initially attempted to contact a surgeon that I had previously used for another shoulder injury. His office was not very helpful under the circumstances. I then contacted your office. I spoke with Dr. Torpey's staff explained my situation. They got me in to see him that Wednesday. I had surgery the following week and have since recovered very well. I have recommended Dr. Torpey in the past and will continue in the future.”

“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.”

“I had been having problems with my knees, which in turn held me back from enjoying the retirement years that I was so much looking forward to. I decided to see Dr. Torpey at Professional Orthopaedic Associates to find out if there was anything that he could do to reverse the condition and associated pain. The examination was done along with x-rays and the results were that my knees were in bad condition, my right knee worse than the left. After exploring the options to remedy the situation, I choose to have my right knee treated with the Synvisc treatment. Before I had even completed the three-week treatment period, my knee felt great with no more pain and excellent mobility. To my benefit, the treatment lasted longer than projected, but then my knee started to fail again. I went back to Dr. Torpey, an examination was done again, and the result was that the only option was a knee replacement. I agreed and the wheels were set in motion for the operation. Dr. Torpey performed the successful operation in 2009. After a period of physical therapy, I have been pain free and active ever since. If ever I have to have my left knee operated on, you can be sure that Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Torpey will be involved. Thank you Dr. Torpey.”

“Dr. Nicholson identified the issue, gave me options for resolution, and took immediate steps to relieve my pain. The staff was courteous and helpful and did it all with humor. I’m back to lifting again. ”

“Second surgery by Dr. Foos right knee 5 years ago left knee this year, just love him, my favorite knee doctor.”

“Dr. Gentile is not only a professional, he is a kind and compassionate human being. Dr. Gentile listens to his patients concerns and without judgement, provides multiple options for the patient to explore before making their decision what course of action to take regarding their injury. Thank you, Dr. Gentile!”

“Short wait times and everything is explained in terms understand. Very clean and professional.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Bade's for 30 years and can honestly say that he and his staff are the most professional medical office I have every been to in my life. His care is second to none and he always puts his patients first, before anything else. I'm 50 years old now and I have been pretty hard on my body throughout the years. Between working and participating in physically demanding sports, I've suffered multiple injuries which required surgery. Dr. Bade always got me back to 100%. He is a truly gifted surgeon. I would never even consider going to anyone else or to any other office. The staff makes you feel that you are important, and you never feel like your being shuffled through, as you do in other offices. They have really set the bar high and I can appreciate that because I operate my business in the same manner.”

“Dr. Torpey has performed three surgical procedures on me. I have been to many different doctors but have never been more satisfied than with him. He is always very professional. He explains the details in a manner that helps me get a better understanding of what is being done. My results have been great. I can only hope I never have to see him again, but have and will continue to recommend him as much as possible.”
