Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gesell is an excellent and kind surgeon. He takes the time to sit and talk to his patients, and that's so important. The staff is very helpful also. I am very happy that I chose professional orthopedics for my knee replacement surgery.”
– Christine N.
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.”
– Fortunate S.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gentile is not only a professional, he is a kind and compassionate human being. Dr. Gentile listens to his patients concerns and without judgement, provides multiple options for the patient to explore before making their decision what course of action to take regarding their injury. Thank you, Dr. Gentile!”
– Gregory P.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Nicholson was very nice. He did a thorough exam by explaining and showing us on the x-rays exactly what the problems were. He let me know I had several options. ”
– Eileen L.
Treating Doctor:“I've been a patient of Dr. Gentile since he opened his first practice in Toms River. Through the years, he's diagnosed & treated various ailments as well as done two surgical procedures on me. He once diagnosed broken bones in my leg that 2 emergency rooms couldn't find after being X-rayed. Dr. Gentile is a rarity in the world of medicine today. He never acts rushed or makes me feel like he's pressed for time. He actually listens with undivided attention! I've recommended Dr. Gentile to others & will continue to do so. Thank you, Dr. Gentile for your compassion & for helping me out of many painful situations!”
– Michele R.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Nicholson is capable way beyond his years. I was thoroughly impressed. I was a little nervous seeing a doctor this young, but within 2 minutes, I knew I was in good hands.”
– Charlie A.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Parker seemed like a very competent and caring doctor. He answered all my questions and gave me excellent treatment.”
– Richard B.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Torpey came highly recommended, and for a good reason. The right mix of personable and professional, he quickly diagnosed the problem and laid out a timeline from surgery to full recovery. If I am ever in need of orthopedic surgery again, I will not hesitate to go back to Dr. Torpey for a second.”
– Dave C.
Treating Doctor:“Words cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Jason Cohen. I was in excruciating back pain because of a herniated disc and very nervous about getting surgery. The only thing I could do without pain was lie flat or stand straight. Any sitting , bending, sneezing, etc was intense pain. Dr. Cohen got me in right away, his team got me an MRI that same day and he explained the procedure to me and told me that he could get me out of pain. I trusted him and his team and they did just that! In a very short time frame, I was back to paddleboarding, yardwork, yoga and beach volleyball. NO Restrictions!! I got my life back, pain free!! The other HUGE component was that his team verified my insurance for me (something you really don't feel like doing when you are in that much pain) and there was very little out of pocket expense! Life is too short to be in pain when you have a surgeon like Dr. Cohen around. He's the best!!! Feel so blessed. Thanks again Dr. Cohen!!!”
