Read what our patients are saying about Professional Orthopaedic Associates.
“As I stated in the survey I completed, Dr. Gesell is a beautiful doctor. He listens to what you are trying to communicate and explains his answers and any options available clearly. As a patient, you do not feel rushed or that he is not interested in your issue. I would most definitely use Dr. Gesell if I required further treatment. ”
– Cheryl G.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gentile is always friendly, explains your injury goes over test results and treatment options. He understands not everyone has a medical background, so the pieces parts together to give you examples and explanations. He also realizes that people must also be able to work and considers that in his treatment recommendations. He is willing to speak to insurance companies and attempt to get the needed treatment for his patients.”
– Nancy T.
Treating Doctor:“When I first moved here from northern NJ, I had to find an orthopedic doctor. I googled "orthopedic doctors in Ocean County," and read patient reviews. I selected POA due to the discussions and T.R. location. Dr. Bade has been my doctor since then. He is a kind, careful, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and takes his time to explain all to me and gives excellent advice too — one of my favorite doctors since moving.”
– Michele A.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Cohen was Great. He took the time to understand my problem and seemed to want to try and help me. ”
– Robert R.
Treating Doctor:“Had debilitating leg pain due to a ruptured disk in L4/L5 region. As a tennis professional and recreational runner, my life as I knew it was over. Dr. Cohen performed surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve causing the leg and foot pain. I was able to resume running within a few weeks and actually ran a 2:58 at the Chicago Marathon later that year, along with a personal best of 2:55 at Boston a few months after. Thank you Dr. Cohen. Without you, my running days would have been over!”
– Bob S.
Treating Doctor:“Super professional, always very accommodating, and Dr. Cohen will answer any questions and take his time.”
– Nicole C.
Treating Doctor:“Since 2011, my son had severe pain in his knee for 3 years. I had been to numerous doctors and had MRI's done and was told everything from growing pains to wear different shoes to we cant't see anything wrong. Thank God Dr. Gentile "thought outside the box" and recommended a bone scan on my son's leg. Sure enough, a tumor was found inside his femur and Dr. Gentile recommended a surgeon in Newark who specializes in that type of surgery and it was done last July. My son has been free of pain since. By the way, Dr. Gentile also performed surgery on my hand which feels great. Thank you, Dr. Gentile! You truly are a great doctor!”
– Rich G.
Treating Doctor:“Dear Dr. Bade, I don't know whether the greater factor in what you have done for me is your incredible generosity or your wonderful surgical skills. To suffice it to say, no one has ever given so much of themselves for me. You truly implemented as well as motivated me to change my life physically. My appreciation for all you have done will never be underestimated or forgotten. Harry, you are one of the good guys. It is truly a blessing in my life to have you in it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
– Nick W.
Treating Doctor:“I have been a patient of Dr. Bade for at least nine years. I have nothing but great things to say about him. He is very professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. No one could ever convince me to go anywhere else. He is the very best at what he does, and I constantly recommend him to everyone I know.”
