  • “The office runs very efficiently. Dr. Nicholson was very thorough, calm, and patient in explaining everything to me. He was kind and knowledgeable. I can say the same about the office staff. Very nice first experience with this practice. ”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “My experience was great, thank you, Dr Cohen and Dr Daknis conferred and decided to give me a shot in the L-4 Disc , it gave me a lot of improvement, at present I'm involved with Re-hab at IVY Rehab, and it is going well. Sincerely, Ed Ziobro”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I had my left knee replaced by Dr. Bade, while still working as a police officer when I was 48 years old. I retired from my job two years later and was able to maintain a good lifestyle. I was playing golf, enjoying vacations, and walking normal. Most of all pain free. Several years later, Dr. Bade replaced my right knee. Recovery was much quicker and I was able to lead, what I consider, a normal life for a man in his late 50's. Two years ago, at age 63, I had my left knee redone by Dr. Bade. A knee revision. Within four months of my revision, I drove a motorcyle from New Jersey to Sturgis, South Dakota for bike week. I am able to enjoy my lifestyle, thanks to Dr. Bade. When I go to his office, we laugh at the thickness of my folder. Due to Dr. Bade, I am able to do things not only possible for a man of my age, but better than some my age that have never had my type of injuries. If I would lose the weight that Dr. Bade has asked me to, I would be even better off than I am today. I believe that thanks to Dr. Bade, the last 17 years of my life have been made better because of his procedures.”

  • “Excellent experience with this dr. He took time to evaluate my issue and provided me a good plan for getting better on my own but if that doesn't work then we have a surgical plan as well. Much appreciated! Thank you!!!!”

    – Martha B.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Torpey is a consummate professional with an exceptional bedside manner. I had a total hip replacement, the pain is gone, and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The operation went well, and at follow-up appointments, he answers all of my questions, and I never feel rushed. I would highly recommend Dr. Torpey to anyone. ”

    – Erin F.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Bade, ... you did an ACL reconstruction with autograph on my left knee on the 21st of May 2009 and here it is only a few weeks later and I can already tell what a magnificent job you did. You surgically repaired my right knee 18 years ago with the same procedure and it is just as solid today as it was back then. I truly appreciate your hard work and due diligence. You are a master of your craft. I will say that thank God your surgical technique is better than your artwork or I would be in a world of trouble! LOL. Thank you so much!!”

    – Damian A.

  • “Dr. Torpey did my Revision rotator cuff surgery, after the 1st one by another orthopedic surgeon let go an anchor after 10 months of pain, rehab and being careful. I am a female in my early 60's so the first shot is always the best. However, I believed in Dr. Torpey for the revision surgery and so far my rehab for 4+ mos. had a good outcome, range of motion and all. Although I feel I may never get the strength back that I had before, God willing I will be painless after a year and be able to go back to my normal activities without worrying I will pull something out again. But it has been a long road, 2 surgeries in one year and all that rehab. My take on Dr. Torpey is that he a very nice, caring person, and a fine doctor.”

    – Betsy B.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dear Dr. Gentile, I'd like to thank you for performing surgery on my thumb carpal tunnel and l relieving my pain. The time you took to explain the procedure to me, your warm personality and the fact that you were able to fit me in so quick put me at ease. This chicken was nervous but was worry-free as I could be! Your office staff and physical therapy group are always upbeat and I felt well cared for. Thank you for your expertise and for making my hand better!”
