“Skiing at Whistler after collar bone injury!Dear Dr. Bade, Just a short note to thank you and your staff for taking such good care of my broken collar bone and encouraging me to stick with my plans of skiing after only two months of recovery. I took it easy and had a great time. Next year it is back to the double blacks.”

“I was on the fence about getting the operation for a year. Posterior meniscus tear. I was getting therapy and had minimal success. Dr. Torpey was highly recommended by my brother Inlaw who is a personal trainer. The operation was performed in November 2015 and I just got back from snowboarding in Colorado with zero pain. I'm back at the gym and could not be happier with the experience. Ty Dr. Torpey and thank you to a great staff.”

“Dr. Gesell and his staff were professional and patiently answered all of my questions. I am 115 days post surgery with and I am pleased with the results. I am able to walk downstairs without taking them one at a time. Dr. Gesell operated with a robot assist and used glue instead of staples on closing the surgical wound which made for a simple, tasteful scar. I was nervous about the surgery but my fears were put to rest and I'm happy that I decided to have it. Luckily I only needed one knee replaced but I would definitely use Dr. Gesell again should I need to replace the other knee in the future. The staff at the group is warm and efficient and I never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be seen. Overall this was a positive experience and I would recommend Dr. Gesell to anyone in need of a new knee. ”

“We are finding out that our son had a torn ACL and a fully torn meniscus due to a football injury was quite difficult to hear. We had many questions. Dr. Bade amazing and spent quality time with us at each visit, especially after his first surgery. Dr. Bade is such a perfectionist, and the first surgery took a long time due to the meniscus continually tearing upon repair. We were tense/nervous/exhausted and he sat with us at 9:30 at night to meticulously detail the entire surgery. Post op appointment Dr. Bade showed us all the photos and again explained the whole procedure. The staff was accommodating. Fast forward to the next year - Senior year football captain - and tragedy still — the second injury just like the first. We had the same nurturing and caring experience the first go round. We are thankful that Dr. Bade was our son's surgeon.”

“Dear Dr. Cohen and Staff, I had to write and thank you for giving me back my LIFE! I feel excellent and I am doing some of the things I love to do. When I came to you I was quite desperate and worried about my future. It's not just my job (teaching 2nd grade) that was in jeopardy, it was my livelihood. I have a teenager and two young children to care for, as well as an active sporting life that I was not ready to give up. From my first visit, you and everyone there (Marilyn and Adrienne especially) were so kind and understanding. Out you were always available to answer my questions and ease my concerns. Thank you again! ”
