  • “In my opinion, a great experience for my first visit with Dr. Lusk. She explained everything in clear detail. I felt very comfortable with her and found her diagnosis and procedures moving forward very agreeable. I would recommend her to anyone in need of her services in the future. ”

  • “After three months of unrelenting pain and discomfort that was affecting the quality of my life and after unsuccessful attempts at relief with steroid injections, acupuncture and PT, surgery was recommended. I was referred by a dear friend and doctor to Dr. Jason Cohen. After reviewing my case and looking at my films, Dr. Cohen recommended anterior discectomy with fusion. This was necessary but obviously very scary. Going through this with Dr. Cohen and Professional Orthopaedic Associates gave me the best experience possible. At my first visit and every visit after that I was met by a professional, efficient, caring staff. Dr. Cohen's confident, informative, sympathetic approach helped me sort through the procedure and my options. A bonus for me was also meeting a nurse who had the same surgery as I did and being able to ask her every question I had from the actual procedure to how soon I would be able to wash my hair after surgery. I am so happy to say that my surgery was completely successful and was performed without any problems. My recovery was just as Dr. Cohen told me it would be.  I followed the instructions of Dr. Cohen and the staff throughout my recovery, and two months after my surgery I played 4 rounds of golf in 8 days! Thank you to Dr. Cohen and his wonderful staff for giving me my life back.”

  • “My daughter Kate had to undergo surgery on her knee for a rare condition known as Osteochondritis Dissecans. Dr. Foos not only successfully diagnosed her condition but also performed surgery on her. While there are no guarantees for any surgical procedures, Dr. Foos has been extremely forthcoming with recovery and managing expectations of a very active 14 year old athlete. Dr. Foos is extremely thorough, easy to talk to and makes each patient feel important. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Foos as a surgeon and physician.”

  • “For over a year or so, I was dealing with hands that were waking me up in the middle of the night. They would become numb, tingling and, painful in the middle of the night which would usually always wake me up. I'd have to hang them off the side of the bed and shake them down to attempt to regain the normal feeling back and hope that I could fall back asleep again which didn't always happen. After having had enough of this, I contacted P.O.A. and asked for Dr. Gentile for help with my condition. I had both carpal tunnel surgeries performed by him within a month and a half of each other. The condition was relieved immediately and the recovery was very quick. I am using my computer again, sleeping through the night, and playing my guitar again without any pain or further issues. I'd also have to give thanks to the P.O.A. Physical Therapy Team for all of their help post-op. Thank you all very much!”
