Treating Doctor:“I can't say enough great things about the care my daughter received from Dr. Gentile, and the entire staff at POA! From the early morning call I made to their service on April 1st, the morning after my daughter was thrown from a horse and released from an emergency room near her college campus over 3 hours away, to seeing us the very same day, if to only make sure her sling fit properly and calm her crazed mom. My daughter had a bad break and the emergency room doctor had been talking about emergency surgery. Dr Gentile truly cares. I can honestly say he treated my daughter as he would treat his own family member. Our 1st scheduled appointment was Monday April 4, 2016. I had spoken with his scheduling secretary a few times by then, at length. Upon our arrival she came downstairs from her office to say hello and meet us in person and see how my daughter was feeling. Above and beyond is the only way to describe the actions of everyone involved in her care. The attention paid to her injury, as well as our family's well being, as a whole, helped to comfort us. What was initially a very scary, traumatic situation, became manageable. I felt sure everything would be ok. It's been over 10 weeks and my daughter is doing fantastic, thanks to the expert care she received.”

Treating Doctor:“Dear Dr. Bade, I want to thank you for my recent successful right shoulder surgery and also for my previous rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder in 2010. Both surgeries enabled me to be pain-free, with increased flexibility and mobility; not previously present. Any trained surgeon can do a good job; you however are an extremely articulate & skilled surgeon which has made all the different in my surgical outcome. I thank you for your superior dedication, skills and knowledge of all the intricate complexities of this type of surgery. You are a hero in the orthopaedic field, making a difference in the lives of many people. ”

Treating Doctor:“Unfortunately, at work, I injured my bicep and shoulder. Luckily, I met Dr. Bade. I am not a professional athlete but need to be able to work and supply for my family, here in NJ. After surgeries, I am pain-free and ready to return to my profession. Dr. Bade explained everything that needed to occur, and he and I made that happen. If my family or friends ever have orthopedic issues, I would insist they visit Professional Orthopaedic Associates, and request Dr. Bade.”
– Thomas L.

Treating Doctor:“I was nervous, and I was thankful that Dr. Parker recognized that. My wait was very short, which I was thankful for, too. He helped me understand what was going on with my knee. He wanted to recommend something after the MRI. It was a good appointment, and I’m happy to recommend him.”
