Patient Reviews

“Dr. Foos is, in my opinion, the best ortho doctor in the entire area. I live in Florida now, and I still come to NJ to see Dr. Foos if I have issues that need. He is frank, gentle, all-knowing and I trust him fully on his diagnosis of any bone pain I may have. I have been going to him for years as are my grown children and their children. Dr. Foos is my family's official "bone" doctor.”

“I actually damaged my shoulder several years ago, but aggravated the injury in November 2014. Dr. Bade looked at my shoulder, ordered X-rays, and an MRI, after which he sat with both my wife and me (spending an hour with us discussing options). He advised that I must perform physical therapy before he would even consider surgery (he did not jump at the chance to do surgery). I went through the PT, and unmistakably, my shoulder felt so much better. I felt so good, that I did not intend to request surgery, but unfortunately I injured the shoulder again while lifting my 95 year old mother after she had fallen. I will need to see Dr. Bade once again . . . and look for his expert advise before jumping to any 'surgery' conclusions.”

“Dr. Gesell has been remarkably sensible and knowledgeable and helpful with my shoulder arthritis.”

“I have been seeing Dr. Gentile for a few years most recently to treat my hand when I fell and sprained it while walking my dog. He is one of the most caring and gentle physicians I have met. When there was little improvement he tried something different which worked. Excellent care by the staff as well!”

“I was very impressed with the care I received from Dr. Nicholson. He was very professional and took the time to explain my condition. He is young and has a very bright future in the medical profession. I highly recommend him.”

“Dr. Torpey and the team at Professional Orthopaedic Associates saved my life.  I had a rare dislocation - my right sternoclavicular joint was dislocating, and pressing into my throat and affecting the nerves going into my chest.  Before the surgery, I had lost 1.5 liters of my lung volume and had elevated CO2.  I had to go on a home ventilator to lower the CO2 and help me breathe.  The dislocation was so rare that no one knew who could help - then I was referred to Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Torpey. Dr. Torpey used a donor tendon to secure my collarbone to my sternum.  Within 3 days my chest wall started to move right, and within 2 weeks the CO2 levels stayed down.  Within 4 weeks, I no longer needed the ventilator.  By August I was back to riding my bike.  I am now able to work full time instead of part time. Thanks to Dr. Torpey, I have a second chance, and a healthier life.”

“Dear Dr. Dave, Just a quick note to thank you for assisting with my knee replacement.  After your wonderful care for the past 12 years, I was just so appreciative to see your smiling face prior to going to the O.R. that morning.  Tom and I knew from the beginning that you didn’t do the replacements, but you kept your word when you told me you’d do your best to help the surgeon.  Dr. Gesell was a great recommendation…thank you for that as well.  I feel like I’ve gotten the best of both worlds…two great surgeons and functional results!  Now I have two surgeons to walk me into the future (one I consider a dear friend). Thank you again.”

“I would like to thank Professional Orthopaedic Associates for their kind, compassionate, and understanding during my life changing injuries. Especially Dr. David Gentile, Maryann Krug, and Sherry Cumberbatch. They helped me seek and receive treatment when no one else would. I see them as great people with big hearts and a patient comes first attitude. My well-being and recovery I owe to them. Thank you.”

“Dr. Nicholson was very professional, thorough, and informative. ”

“Tina at the front desk is such a pleasure. The X-ray tech is a hero. Dr. Nicholson was very thorough, and I will certainly recommend the practice to those I interact with.”
