Patient Video Reviews

  • “Dr. Plyler really listens to his patients and does not dismiss symptoms as trivial quirks. He is thorough and professional and pays attention to details, always trying to help patients recover with as little pain as possible. ”

    – Gloria G.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Overall experience was excellent. Dr. Bade was very informative and the condition required surgery on my left knee which went very smoothly. My rehab and recovery went quickly and I was quickly back to normal.”

    – Edward G.

  • “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:
  • “I have been coming to Professional Orthopaedic Associates for several years and have had a great experience with every doctor I have worked with, especially Dr. Torpey. They are very professional, cordial, and make every experience a great one. They always explain what procedure will be done, and how everything will play out to follow, making me very comfortable with the environment and situations.”

    – John Z.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Gesell is one of the most caring doctors I have ever seen. He did my knee replacement a year ago from a car accident and I would do it all over again with him. My knee is perfect with no pain and I can extend and flex with no problems. I can stand for a long time, when before, I could only stand for approximately an hour. He was very caring and he looked in on me in the hospital to make sure I was doing okay and making sure I was doing my exercises! If it wasn't for Dr. Gesell, I would still be in pain, still be frustrated, and I would still be limping or on crutches! Thanks to Dr. Gesell, I can walk now, even though I need a hip replacement.This is how caring he is, my hip is so bad, he referred me to Hospital for Special Surgery, which is where he did his fellowship, to a great doctor. Thanks to Dr. Gesell, I will be walking without any aids, like a cane or a walker. Thanks to Dr. Gesell and the very caring staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates, I can get straightened out! Thank you!”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “From the moment you walk into the office to the moment you are walking out, this practice is just what "Professional" is all about! Dr. Cohen and Adrian make a heck of a team! Always super responsive to your needs and questions. Dr. Cohen will spend all the time you need in a consultation or with post surgery concerns.”

    – Gary T.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “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!”

    – Carolibe G.

    – Lynda F.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dear Dr. Gesell, Just a short note with a huge thank you to you and all of your staff. Everything everyone said would happen, did happen, promptly and professionally. You all have changed my life for the better. Thanks again and never change what you are doing. ”

    – Lyle S.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I had been experiencing pain in my left knee for quite some time which was hampering me from enjoying my daily and athletic activities. Dr. Foos diagnosed my problem & began with the least invasive treatment. When this did not relieve my knee pain, he ordered an MRI which showed that I was a candidate for knee replacement surgery. I appreciate that Dr. Foos was very conservative in his diagnosis and gave me plenty of time to consider all of my options. I chose knee replacement surgery as I am a 72-year-old woman who is looking forward to maintaining a very active and athletic lifestyle. It has been two weeks since my surgery. I am attending physical therapy 3 times a week and feel that I am making good progress. I am looking forward to a full recovery. Thank you, Dr. Foos!!”
