“I'd like to comment the ENTIRE office staff, assistant, and Dr. Foos, for their compassion and professionalism. Dr. Foos performed rotator cuff surgery on my shoulder in May. I called with pain in my shoulder. Within ONE day, I had approval from insurance, MRI script faxed to radiologist, and an appointment the NEXT day! Everyone is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable ! I have been to THREE doctors in this practice, who came highly recommended by OTHER doctors, outside this practice. Great office!”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gentile was very gentle and made me feel comfortable and not afraid of the shot.”
– Dale P.
Treating Doctor:“I had gone to another physician before seeing Dr. Gabisan, and he told me right away that I would most likely have to go for surgery before even seeing the MRI. Dr. Gabisan said I did not have to have surgery after seeing the MRI and just had me wear a boot and within about 5 months I was healed. He was a very calming and relaxed doctor which made me feel very comfortable.”
– Lydia M.
Treating Doctor:“Dear Dr. Gabisan, I wanted to let you know that I did make it through my granddaughter's graduation from Seton Hall on Monday. There was an enormous amount of walking to get into the IZOD center, but that was OK. Thanks for making this day possible for me! As you know, before I met you, I had surgery on my ruptured Achilles tendon and a subsequent infection. I went to FOUR other doctors that failed to diagnose and treat my problem correctly. You cleared up my condition immediately. Then you performed a miracle on my knee arthritis. Thank you so much for everything!”
– Barbara T.
Treating Doctor:“Doc recommended by local university pitching coach. Doc has worked on both my shoulders and also my son's wrist. Doc explains the situation in layman's terms and is very approachable. Highly recommend.”
– John F.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gesell is amazing. So competent and professional. He did a total knee replacement for me, and it went flawlessly. And he was very patient and explained everything thoroughly in our follow up visits. His expertise transformed my life from being almost crippled to walking 4 miles a day again only six weeks after surgery.”
– Sean L.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Parker explained my situation clearly and provided me with a treatment and rehab program. I am very pleased I found Dr. Parker and the great staff here.”
– Thomas S.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Nicholson was really informative and helped me with my bad shoulder.”
– Joan F.
Treating Doctor:“Last year, I saw Dr. Bade because my right shoulder was bothering me. He ordered a CT scan, and after review prescribed physical therapy. The PT made a complete difference in how I felt... Dr. Bade indicated no further action was required at that time... I was very pleased that he did NOT jump on the chance to operate... it was obvious he had MY best interest in mind. Unfortunately, I damaged the shoulder further... this time I need surgery because the rotator cuff is in fact severely damaged. I have complete confidence in Dr. Bade, and look forward to getting back to my old self again.”
– Martin P.
Treating Doctor:“I just recently had full hip replacement surgery. Before the surgery, all pre-surgery visits were thorough and professional. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the office is pleasantly decorated.”
