Treating Doctor:“I had my left knee replaced by Dr. Bade, while still working as a police officer when I was 48 years old. I retired from my job two years later and was able to maintain a good lifestyle. I was playing golf, enjoying vacations, and walking normal. Most of all pain free. Several years later, Dr. Bade replaced my right knee. Recovery was much quicker and I was able to lead, what I consider, a normal life for a man in his late 50's. Two years ago, at age 63, I had my left knee redone by Dr. Bade. A knee revision. Within four months of my revision, I drove a motorcyle from New Jersey to Sturgis, South Dakota for bike week. I am able to enjoy my lifestyle, thanks to Dr. Bade. When I go to his office, we laugh at the thickness of my folder. Due to Dr. Bade, I am able to do things not only possible for a man of my age, but better than some my age that have never had my type of injuries. If I would lose the weight that Dr. Bade has asked me to, I would be even better off than I am today. I believe that thanks to Dr. Bade, the last 17 years of my life have been made better because of his procedures.”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gentile was very informative about my surgery. He was very pleasant. I was given adequate pain relief post surgery. I started physical therapy and made progress faster than I thought I would. I would definitely recommend Dr. Gentile to anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon. I also would recommend the physical therapy associated with the practice.”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Cohen did my back surgery. I had a pinched nerve and some disc problems which was causing extreme pain to my left leg. Surgery went very well! Shortly after back surgery, while recovering at home, I fell and broke my wrist. Dr. Johnson did my wrist surgery. Surgery went very well! Happy to say I am back to life as normal with no pain.”
– Linda H.
Treating Doctor:“I was told ... that I needed a knee replacement. Since my pain started after an injury and I didn't have chronic pain before, I went for a second opinion to Dr Foos. He disagreed. I had confidence in him because he explained everything to me in plain English. The staff were very reassuring, pleasant and kind: something missing at most Dr offices today. I had the arthroscopic surgery and feel great. In the past I also had a successful diagnosis from Dr Swik on my shoulder. The center where the surgery was performed is better than some hospitals.”
– Audrey K.
