“Dr. Torpey and the team at Professional Orthopaedic Associates saved my life. I had a rare dislocation - my right sternoclavicular joint was dislocating, and pressing into my throat and affecting the nerves going into my chest. Before the surgery, I had lost 1.5 liters of my lung volume and had elevated CO2. I had to go on a home ventilator to lower the CO2 and help me breathe. The dislocation was so rare that no one knew who could help - then I was referred to Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Torpey. Dr. Torpey used a donor tendon to secure my collarbone to my sternum. Within 3 days my chest wall started to move right, and within 2 weeks the CO2 levels stayed down. Within 4 weeks, I no longer needed the ventilator. By August I was back to riding my bike. I am now able to work full time instead of part time. Thanks to Dr. Torpey, I have a second chance, and a healthier life.”

“If you're looking for an Orthopedic Surgeon, look no further, Dr. Brian Torpey is simply the best. I cannot say enough about Dr. Torpey and his skillful, compassionate, and resourceful mindset. He is extremely intelligent, persistent, and considerate. His calm demeanor, detailed explanations, and bedside manners are superior. I never once felt the sense of discouragement in his voice. His staff is always courteous, kind, and attentive too, especially (but not limited to) LeeAnn, Janis & Maryanne. I experienced a serious injury to my shoulder, and after extensive surgery & treatment by Dr. Torpey, I'm on the road to recovery. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Dr. Brian Torpey to anyone who needs an Orthopedic Surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Torpey.”
