Patient Video Reviews

  • “Dr. Gesell is the best of the best! I cannot put into words how pleased I am with the outcome of my total hip replacement surgery. The pain is gone, recovery was quick and nearly pain-free, and I'm ready to schedule my 2nd total hip replacement in the next few weeks. Additionally, I can't say enough about the staff. They are professional, courteous, and work so hard to make the entire process smooth and easy. I have been coming to Professional Orthopaedics for more than 15 years, and all of the doctors and staff are always caring and provide quality service no matter how big or small your injury may be. ”

    – Heidi C.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Gesell is just great. He took the time to carefully explain why the surgery was needed and how it would be done. Expected outcomes were also discussed. The pre-surgery program and the pre-surgery testing done at Monmouth Hospital were first rates preparing the day of surgery very easy and less stressful. Through diligent pre-surgery exercises and post-surgery physical therapy, I have had a successful outcome. I would recommend and have approved, Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Gesell to anyone in need of their services. ”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Before I met Doctor Torpey, whenever I held my two toddlers I had a huge Charlie horse in my leg. It was heart breaking (explaining why I had to put them down), but the toughest part was not knowing why it was so painful. Brian (Doctor Torpey) explained to me what a labrum was and why I had pain for what seemed like no reason at all. As a life-long swimmer, hip pain was new to me. After he explained the procedure and the rehabilitation, I chose the Labrum reconstruction surgery. I was in and out in one afternoon. In my follow up visit, he walked me through the surgery performed (picture by picture) and showed me the repair that was done. After a few months of p/t, and a few visits back to Professional Orthopedic Associates, I was holding and swimming my little ones! As a forty something, a father and professional in the largest healthcare system in New Jersey, I recommend Doctor Brian Torpey for anyone considering labrum surgery. Last night was the St. Dominic’s father daughter dance and my little ones and I were dancing up a storm thanks to Doctor Torpey. I wrote this letter the very next day. Thank you, Dr. Torpey.”

    – Mark S.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Thank you, times two!  You are more than just an extraordinary doctor, but a gracious human being too. The first thank you is for successfully treating my leg pain over the past two years.  Today I can resume my active lifestyle without stress and physical pain. The second thank you is to express my appreciation for the incredible opportunity to shadow and observe surgery with you.  Changing my role as patient to student in your world, although brief, was an experience that made it definite to pursue a career in the healthcare profession.  I look forward to more observation opportunities with you.  Enjoy the rest of your summer.  ”
