Patient Reviews

“About 3 and a half years ago my hip began hurting me. I first went to see Dr. Bade who quickly recommended that I see the hip surgeon Dr. Torpey. Unfortunately, it turned out that I had a torn labrum. In order for the pain to go away and the situation not to get any worse he recommended that I get surgery. Needless to say, it was a complete success. It's been over a year now and I feel stronger than ever. I lift heavy weights, go rock climbing, run and do what ever I like without hesitation. The whole process with Dr. Torpey was easy, clear and I felt like I was in good hands. Thank you so much!”

“Come February 2010 it will be three years since I was the recipient of bilateral knee replacements at Riverview Medical Center. you were the "handy man" who performed the surgery. Prior to my surgery you asked what I most wanted to do when I got my "new knees". Although I had been an avid marathon runner I responded that what I truly wanted to be able to do again was dance with my eight grandchildren. By July of 2007, only five months post op, I was cutting a rug. I was so pleased I kept thinking to myself that I must write down how I felt about my decision to have the surgery and your expertise in performing the surgery and send you off a thank you note. Often life gets in the way of the best of plans and thus it was with my note. Oh, I'd think about it again as I did my three to five mile walk every morning and every time I'd climb a ladder to clean a drain, change a light bulb or dart out of my seat to answer the door bell. Yet, i never wrote the note. Some part of me figured that you must get many notes from more than satisfied patients. I lived my life, a better live now, and the knees just became "my knees" - not the replacement knees - just "my knees". The other day I received the Meridian Healthviews (Riverview's magazine) in the mail. Thumbing through the magazine I came to an article about a guy who had had a bilateral knee replacement. Reading about this man I though, "Wow, a guy who had a bilateral knee replacement". In the instant that I had that thought I realized that I was thinking of myself as someone who had the original equipment and not anyone who had anything in common with the guy in the article. I guess that is the ultimate in defining all that a successful bilateral knee replacement surgery can be - my knees are now one with me. Thank you, Dr. Harry Bade, it's been a long time coming but thank you very, very much.”

“Dr. Bade performed a TKR on my Left knee last girl, a long overdue but necessary surgery has enabled me to live pain-free from knee pain, walk taller and pain-free, bike ride and return to a quality of life I have not experienced in many many years. Dr. Bade, his Admin Asst Patty, and the rest of the Medical Team and Office Staff are second to none. I have been a patient of Dr. Bade for this same knee for a while. I also consider Dr. Bade a good friend. Professional Orthopedic Associates is the Best. ”

“I can't say enough about the experience my son and I had with Dr. Gabisan and the entire staff. My son came in as an emergency and ended up needing surgery that same evening. From the front desk with their warm welcome and efficient demeanor, to the X-ray staff, handling my son with care and respect. This was all new to me, and Dr. Gabisan's surgical coordinator, Rosanne, walked me through it all, with recommendations and patience. I can't say enough about the doctor himself. He explained all options, let me know what he considered the best course of action, and was able to keep us both calm in the process. My son is recovering beautifully, and the surgery was a resounding success!  ”

“Could not believe that I broke my foot, nonetheless in three places. Dr. Gabisan took excellent care of me, and I would recommend his services to anyone. It was an absolute positive experience. Well, as good as it could be when one is casted!!”
