Patient Reviews

“Dear Dr. Johnson, Clorinda, & All the Office Staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates, I just want to say again thank you for your incredible kindness and generosity towards me and my family. You are truly the most sincere, caring, and unselfish human beings that I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I have been a patient of Professional Orthopaedic Associates for many years. Dr. Johnson, you have treated our family for at least 30 years now. From my in-laws to my children and now to me. From the moment we met, you always made me feel at peace. I will admit, I have been thrown a couple of curve balls in my time and am very fearful when it comes to doctors, but knowing that I am in your hands, has always left me so comforted. Clorinda, where do I begin. You are the best for always fitting us in for immediate appointments and helping us with paper work and insurance. Your calming presence and efficient organization has pulled this family through many procedures, from fractured bones in my son’s ankle’s, knees, and hand, to my irregular EKGs and then being sent instantly to your own cardiologist. Thank you. Having this tremendous disc pain has been torture. I had been in severe pain for approx. 7 months. My neck, back, and left arm all hurt. My pain got to the point that I could only stand. Sitting was unbearable. Dr. Johnson, you examined me and knew right away that something funny was going on. That same day, I was introduced to your associate Dr. Cohen, who confirmed I needed an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Surgery was scheduled two weeks later after all pre-testing was approved. You have gone above and beyond to help me get to where I am today. Checking on me weekly to make sure all pre-testing was on scheduled and that I was not in pain. I was very afraid as my insurance was not taken at the office and I received a call that night to say not to worry. I am a widow with three children and one still in college, so I was very scared of the finances. Insurance companies denying most everything as they do. And also worrying that the worst would happen in surgery. It is such a foreign concept to be told by your office that  “Professional Orthopedic puts their patients 1st  and not the finances." They explained they would work with my insurance company and they stood by what they said! I am so happy to say that surgery took place April 24th - one week ago. I was home the next day 100% pain free and feeling better that I have in years. I had my follow up visit with Dr. Cohen six days later and was so excited to be told all was successful. Even your front desk staff hugged and welcomed me back. YOUR KINDNESS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTON!!!! You are truly an angel. God bless you for your talent, kindness, and compassion.”

“I am very pleased with the services provided by Professional Orthopaedic Associates. Dr. Johnson is an excellent and caring doctor. I would recommend Dr. Johnson and Professional Orthopaedic Associates to anyone.”

“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.”

“I had x-rays and saw Dr. Gesell for mild hip pain about three months after he performed my hip replacement surgery. He diagnosed what he thought was causing the pain, and I followed his instructions to reduce pain, which worked after about a week, as he expected. Dr. Gesell has provided excellent care before and after my hip surgery, which I consider a complete success, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering hip replacement.”

“Top shelf.”

“Dr. Nicholson identified the issue, gave me options for resolution, and took immediate steps to relieve my pain. The staff was courteous and helpful and did it all with humor. I’m back to lifting again. ”

“For over thirty years, Dr. Johnson has cared for three generations of my family with skill and professionalism. Through countless broken bones and injured joints, my family could not have survived without him. Although there’s tons of brains and experience behind his care, he has the innate ability to put us at ease during scary situations. ”

“Dr. Foos and this office have the nicest and most professional people, Meghan is such a sweetheart! Always so pleasant and accommodating. The girls at the desk are so welcoming and nurturing.”

“Our son, Austin, was very blessed to meet the qualifications to compete with members of the U.S. ski team upon their return from races in Norway. He is currently ranked third in the U.S. and 21st in the world in Super G for his age!  Thank you to Dr. Torpey for the wonderful care he has given Austin.”

“Dr. Foos has performed rotator cuff surgery on both my shoulders and scoped both my knees and I cannot praise him enough. I've been able to work with my daughter in softball, play golf (attempt to) and live life with no pain in either shoulder or 1 of my knees. I will in time need a knee replacement and the only surgeon I'll consider is Dr. Foos. The office staff in all of the offices are always very friendly and always professional. I would highly recommend Professional Orthopedics to anyone. And I have referred 4 of my friends to them.”
