“Dr. Gesell did a knee replacement, and it is a new knee and a new me!”

“Major pain issues, Dr. Gesell, helped explain my situation and treatment options. He helped put my mind at ease.”

“Dr. Plyler was honest and knowledgeable. Very clear and a pleasure to be treated by. ”

“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.”

“To the Staff at POA, Professional Orthopaedics is, indeed, professional. All the way. 200% My journey of gratitude must begin with Roz Smith who was the first to listen and act on my agonizing complaints of excruciating pain. Thank you, Roz, for providing me with the immediate appointment that saved me from undergoing an extensive repair surgery. Next to Dr. Gabisan to whom I will forever by indebted. Thank you for your excellent expertise and for being so immediately attentive to the misdiagnosis I received at the hospital. Your compassionate, caring and unbelievable bedside manner is what I so proudly boast about whenever the opportunity arises. I can sing your praises forever and that will not be enough!! You never rush and you treat all of your patients with the utmost respect and dignity. My God Bless you 100 fold. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Christopher Johnson for his excellence in diagnosing two previous hand injuries. Your conservative approach and attentiveness will forever be appreciated. Next, a very special thank you to the physical therapy staff. Stephanie and Maria you are both amazing. Thank you so much for being so accommodating with all the scheduling issues. You are always so compassionate and kind. To Ila Fortuna, thank you for your unending patience in giving me back the use of my hands when I was not even able to tear open a packet of Splenda. Your calming and caring demeanor is what got me through so many difficult and frustrating days when I could barely hold a coffee cup or tear a check out of my checkbook! You are a loving and caring to your patients and I never stop singing your praises as well. God Bless you, Ila. And to physical therapists Cynthia Massagli and Sheela Iyer, what can I say other than I remain forever indebted for your fine expertise, unending patience and compassion. Thank you for teaching me how to walk and be mobile again after two months of being housebound. Thank you for the constant encouragement which has been crucial to my recovery. What a joy to be free finally of the scooter, walker, boo, etc. To the wonderful people at the front desk, the x-ray techs, the billing staff and everyone at POA…my deepest and most sincere thanks! Your office will forever be the choice of my family and friends who all share the same sentiments as I do. With sincere warmest regards.”

“My entire experience with the office is excellent. The staff working the front desk is always welcoming and efficient. The nurses always have a smile on their face and you know they are there to assist you. Dr. Gabisan is a shining star. My surgery was excellent. Other treatments were always right on the mark and I recommend your office very highly.”

“Hi Jason, I extend my thanks and appreciation to you for reaching out and discussing my shoulder problem with me. I know you are a busy guy and only know of me through Chris, but nevertheless you took the time to talk to me on three occasions without reservation. It is comforting to me that your interpretation of my shoulder situation is the same as the surgeon down here in Vero Beach. I have pretty much decided to go ahead with the reverse replacement. I know it's a big deal and I have anxiety about it but the thought of living the rest of my life as compromised as I am directs me on only one path. Again, thank you for your input. I look forward to meeting you next time I am in NJ.”

“So far after 2 surgeries, cervical and lumbar fusion and discectomies, I have complete faith in my surgeon and his staff. My appointments are on time, no waiting, my questions are answered, my concerns never dismissed.  If I call the office, either Adrian picks up the call immediately, or promptly returns my call. Could not ask for a more pleasant, courteous, professional staff all around. Everything is handled efficiently, from appointments to billing. Very satisfied.”

“Dear Dolores, (Dr. Bade's Billing Specialist) Thank you very much for your courtesies and patience. Please tell Dr. Bade that the arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder was very successful and my golf game has improved. Though I do not get as much distance, I am much more accurate and my game is one of course management and my score is lower. Again, thank you very much to you and all of the pleasant and friendly staff in your office.”

“Awesome. I have had several knee and shoulder surgeries with Dr Foos and he was great. I play college football and owe my whole carreer to him. My experience started with the front check in desk and ended with physical therapy. They were are the best each and every time. Professional Orthopedics is the only orthopedic practice I would ever use. Thank you tro all their staff.”
