  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “I underwent emergency lumbar spinal surgery, expertly and swiftly performed by Dr. Cohen within hours of meeting him to relieve crushed nerves as a result of a severely herniated disc. Some years later after developing symptoms that included severe pain down the back and front of both legs, Dr. Cohen performed a Transpsoas Interbody and Posterior Lumbar Fusion at L3-4, L4-5. I put my trust in Dr. Cohen and he saved me twice. During my hospital stays, Dr. Cohen visited me every day, not only to check on my condition but to comfort me and my family. God made a good man and fine surgeon when he made Jason Cohen.  I have been Dr. Cohen's patient for years now. He, his nurse Adrienne and the rest of his staff are kind, compassionate, dedicated, and very hard working. They are also excellence teachers. Dr. Cohen and Adrienne took the time to educate me and answer questions about my condition, the type of surgery I would receive, and the necessary post-surgical care to be administered.  There is no need to travel to New York or Pennsylvania in search of a spinal surgeon when we are fortunate enough to have the best spinal surgeon right in our own backyard.”

  • “My husband and I leave in a week for a cruise to the British Isles, thanks to you. We would have lost thousands of dollars, as we booked too late to qualify for the travel insurance. You studied the MRI (of my shoulder), asked pertinent questions, then made the call to proceed with an injection. At first, I was worried that things seemed to get worse that night. I felt no change after one hour or six hours. Then, one day later, I felt 40% better. One week later, I felt 80% better. I stopped taking any medications and was no later kept awake all night trying to find a position that wouldn’t aggravate my shoulder. I know you would say it’s just what you do every day, but that should not preclude your receiving gratitude and appreciation. See you soon for my follow up appointment. Thanks so much.”

  • “Have had rheumatoid arthritis for years, I am 73, and no one has identified it before this.  Dr. Johnson identified it and treated the present problem within two visits...My wrists were swollen so bad and so painful, that they resembled a couple of old catchers mitts.....After  taking care of the swelling and pain, I was referred to a Rheumatologist, whom I am seeing now------time will tell--- my wife is under the care of another Orthopedic  surgeon in this group----and she has nothing but praise for him also.....The entire staff or that part that we have dealt with, have all been excellent----Thank You, Thank You, and Thank You.”

  • “Dear Dr. Gabisan, I'd like to thank you for taking care of my foot and getting me out of pain. From day one, the time you took to talk to me, your easy-going nature, and calm demeanor gave me the confidence that everything would be alright. Your office staff and physical therapy group are always upbeat so I always felt well cared for. Thanks again to all your attention.”

  • “I had lower-back surgery due to a herniated disc in August of 1999, followed by a breast cancer diagnosis at age 30 that very same year. Although I came through with flying colors, I was discouraged to find out that I had yet another herniated disc in 2011. The thought of more surgery was upsetting so I devoted many hours a week to physical therapy. Unfortunately, the therapies did not alleviate my symptoms. A very dear friend recommended Dr. Cohen to me. I was extremely impressed with him after my first appointment. He reviewed my MRI films with me and explained all of my options. He was extremely patient, professional, and I appreciated his conservative approach. Although surgery was my only real option, I was totally confident with Dr. Cohen performing my surgery. I am happy to say that the end result was fantastic! I am running and exercising again, and I have never been happier! I am in better shape at 45 than I was in my 20’s! A special thanks is extended to Dr. Cohen. I would not ever hesitate recommending him to a friend.”
