  • “... 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

  • “What a perfect experience. Thanks for being so professional.”

    – Maurice B.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I have been a patient at Professional Orthopaedic Associates since the beginning. I was an original patient of Dr. Bade in the Long Branch office. Dr. Bade has performed three of the five surgeries on my left knee. The other two were performed out of state. Dr. Bade was consulted on both surgeries and both were performed by physicians based on his recommendations. Dr. Jason Cohen performed a C Spine disectomy on me in 2005. Over the years and various other injuries or follow-ups on existing injuries or surgeries, I have been seen by the other doctors in the group and have been very satisfied with all of them.”

    – Frederick S.

  • “No waiting and plenty of time to spend with the doctor. ”

    – Margaret F.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Had debilitating leg pain due to a ruptured disk in L4/L5 region. As a tennis professional and recreational runner, my life as I knew it was over. Dr. Cohen performed surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve causing the leg and foot pain. I was able to resume running within a few weeks and actually ran a 2:58 at the Chicago Marathon later that year, along with a personal best of 2:55 at Boston a few months after. Thank you Dr. Cohen. Without you, my running days would have been over!”

    – Bob S.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I had a knee replacement with Dr. Gesell. I felt very safe in his hands. He explained everything and was compassionate with me during my surgery and recovery. I will be having another knee replacement in October. I would highly recommend Dr. Gesell to anyone. During my hospital stay and with the visits from Home Health Care and physical therapy, they all remarked about how well I was doing and how the surgery went for me. My recovery seemed to be above the normal.”

    – Sheila T.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Very knowledgeable, Dr. Giliberti took the time to explain the problem in terms that were easy to understand. I felt very comfortable with his diagnosis. I will definitely continue to see him in the future if I need additional treatment.”

    – Sharon A.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Gesell, I have been a patient of Dr. Gesell's for approximately two years. He has performed two procedures for me on my left knee. He is an amazing surgeon and person. After the procedure, I have complete use of my knee and I am virtually pain free. Most importantly, Dr. Gesell always treated me with absolute professionalism - courtesy and respect. He listened to my concerns on both the pain and use of medications during and after the procedure. He devised a plan with me to address the process of leaving behind the use of pain medications in a medically safe way after healing. I would highly recommend or refer anyone to seek out his care for there specific orthopedic needs.”

    – Michael T.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I had my hip replaced in September by Dr. Torpey I couldn't be more pleased with the care I have received from he and his entire staff. At 43 years of age you could imagine how scared I was to have this procedure done. Dr. Torpey was absolutely amazing prior, during and postoperatively. I would recommend him for anyone needing hip care at any age!”

    – Cassia R.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “These guys are fantastic! Faced with a knee issue in both knees, they both took conservative measures that have bought me time from surgery. Exercise will help, and a watchful eye makes me confident that my torn meniscus will be repaired when required.”
