“Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I’ve had that pain in my shoulder for six months and the pain is gone. I’ve been waiting for it to return and it simply has NOT returned. You can be sure I’ll be signing your praises to all of my friends and neighbors. ”

“I was delighted with every step of the process. All pre-op questions got answered clearly and patiently. The operation went flawlessly, and I walked around my block two days after the procedure. Post-operative pain was minimal, and I was soon able to do things I hadn't done in years. It felt like I'd gotten a big part of my life back. This experience was pretty much identical to the one I'd had the previous year with Dr. Gesell when he replaced my other knee. Thank you so much, Dr. Gesell.”

“I had a fusion of my left ankle on Oct. 21, 2013. I was in a non-weight bearing cast for 6 weeks, then a weight bearing cast for 6 weeks. After that, I was able to walk with the aid of a walker, a cane, and now I do not have to use anything. I have been in physical therapy for 8 weeks. I am doing well and very happy to be without that terrible pain. I am just amazed I can peddle a bike, walk down a hill without pain, and am getting ready to dance again. I am very thankful to Dr. Gabisan and all the office people, especially Nicole and Rose Ann.”

Treating Doctor:“Professional Orthopaedic Associates gave me an appointment the same day for my severe pain. Dr. Parker was empathetic, kind, patient, and professional. I’m very grateful for his immediate response to my concerns. This practice is very well run. I thank everyone in the office who was involved in this process, from scheduling an appointment to any insurance authorizations. I wish you all continued success.”

“We felt Dr. Nicholson was a very knowledgeable doctor. He explained everything that we needed to know before and after surgery. From the front desk to his surgery coordinator, Beth, we are delighted with the office. ”

“I somehow damaged my back many years ago and since, have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Cohen. Dr. Cohen has detected several areas of damage to my spinal cord, and performed 2 surgeries already with at least another pending. Both of those surgeries with Dr. Cohen have relieved significant pain, against all the fears of "much dreaded back surgery.” My family and I completely trust and have every bit of confidence in his diagnoses. In addition, I am secure in the decision for future major surgery when the time comes as long as I know he is performing my surgery! With each visit and surgery, it is comforting and peace of mind dealing with the entire staff at your office! Thank you so much for all that you do!”

“This has been my third procedure with Dr. Torpey. He has done work on both of my knees with great success. This summer after experiencing an accident in the gym I needed more urgent attention to my injured shoulder. I initially attempted to contact a surgeon that I had previously used for another shoulder injury. His office was not very helpful under the circumstances. I then contacted your office. I spoke with Dr. Torpey's staff explained my situation. They got me in to see him that Wednesday. I had surgery the following week and have since recovered very well. I have recommended Dr. Torpey in the past and will continue in the future.”

“Dear Dr. Gentile, I'd like to thank you for performing surgery on my thumb carpal tunnel and l relieving my pain. The time you took to explain the procedure to me, your warm personality and the fact that you were able to fit me in so quick put me at ease. This chicken was nervous but was worry-free as I could be! Your office staff and physical therapy group are always upbeat and I felt well cared for. Thank you for your expertise and for making my hand better!”
