“Dr. Bade first repaired my right shoulder. With extensive PT I was able to get almost 100% usage. This time the damage to the same joint was much more extensive, but after Dr. Bade's surgery in August and ongoing PT, I hope to get back to personal construction projects shortly.”
– John E.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Foos was very professional and walked me thru my process step by step. My outcome was excellent. Thank you to the staff as well!”
– John K.
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.”
– Phyllis N.
Treating Doctor:“There is no question that my life has changed for the better. There is not one single day that passes without being grateful for the skill, judgment, and experience that Dr. Cohen brought forth to the operating room on the day of my surgery. ”
– Suzanne M.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gesell put me at ease from the start. He was not pushy but very factual. The hospital was excellent, and the whole experience went well. I would recommend him (and have) highly.”
– Philip D.
Treating Doctor:“I have been a patient at Professional Orthopaedic Associates since the beginning. I was an original patient of Dr. Bade in the Long Branch office. Dr. Bade has performed three of the five surgeries on my left knee. The other two were performed out of state. Dr. Bade was consulted on both surgeries and both were performed by physicians based on his recommendations. Dr. Jason Cohen performed a C Spine disectomy on me in 2005. Over the years and various other injuries or follow-ups on existing injuries or surgeries, I have been seen by the other doctors in the group and have been very satisfied with all of them.”
– Frederick S.
Treating Doctor:“Total Knee Replacement...Great doctor. After 7 months, my new knee is awesome. I have recommended Dr. Gesell to several of my friends.”
– Donald E.
Treating Doctor:“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.”
– Carrie M.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gabisan is a wonderful, kind, and skilled physician.”
– Marianne M.
Treating Doctor:“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.”
