Read what our patients are saying about Professional Orthopaedic Associates.
“In acute pain and without an appointment I arrived at the office the Monday after New Years Eve rather desperate for help, and gratefully, Dr. Bade saw me quickly. After an in-office X-ray, he immediately got me relief with medication and arranged an MRI and subsequent appointment with Dr. Barry Swick. Once the pain had eased I was able to go ahead with Dr. Swick who further evaluated my diagnosis with nerve testing and recommended Ron Weiss, Physical Therapist. I am continuing with the PT, which seems to help, and will consult again with Dr. Swick for a follow-up. It is the third time I have sought help with your skilled physicians. Dr Bade surgically corrected my left, rotator cuff in 2006 (which now functions well in my busy life) and advised me how to ease a meniscus tear in 2015. In each instance I felt complete confidence in Dr. Bade's expertise and advice and thank him for his wisdom at a time I was feeling such dire stress and pain. That is when you need a hero and he came through. So, thank you, Dr. Harry Bade and Dr. Barry Swick, for your care and professionalism, and to your kindly staff. Thank you so much.”

“2 1/2 months after a multi-level, 4 vertebrae spinal fusion, I was swinging a golf club at 50% and playing golf. 5 months after surgery I was swinging 100% and playing two times a week. It has been 7 months since surgery and I am doing everything that a healthy 49 year old can do and then some. Thanks to Dr. Cohen. Life is good once again!”

“After a Florida trip, at the beginning of my sophomore baseball season at St. John Vianney, I experienced shoulder discomfort. Dr. Johnson diagnosed and performed labrum surgery on my right shoulder. I am happy to say I was playing fall baseball that year and finished my career at SJU. I am now in my senior season at Misericordia University, where I have started at first base all four years. During my first three years at MU, my team had won our conference title three times, with three trips to the NCAA Regional. I am so fortunate that Dr. Johnson was my surgeon. I would have never experienced this great college experience without his excellent surgical performance.”

Treating Doctor:“ I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Bade and the whole orthopedic group at Toms River. I had carpal tunnel surgery and I was very nervous prior to the surgery. You all helped to make my experience a good one. You made my day!”

“Dr. Cohen and his staff are great and he did an exceptional job on my neck 2.5 years ago and my lower back in November. He's getting me back together piece by piece and I'll be back in to see him again soon.”
