Patient Reviews

“My experience with Dr. Gesell was good. My knee is healing well, and I liked the fact that I saw Dr. Gesell for post surgery follow up checks instead of a PA, etc. I was always treated with kindness, and Dr. Gesell is an excellent surgeon. Dr. Gesell's care was so much more beautiful and better. ”

“I am very pleased with the services provided by Professional Orthopaedic Associates. Dr. Johnson is an excellent and caring doctor. I would recommend Dr. Johnson and Professional Orthopaedic Associates to anyone.”

“Dr. Nicholson is an excellent provider who is personable, punctual, and professional.”

“Been remiss is getting to you. I wanted to thank all in the office of Professional Orthopaedic Associates for your kindness, professionalism, and demeanors. Everyone was pleasant and efficient from the front office to billing to nursing staff. Additionally, big thanks to Dr. Gesell who lived to his word. I asked if I could be dancing at my son’s wedding six weeks from my surgery on March 21 and he delivered! Again, thank you all and I would recommend your practice to anyone.”

“I had a cyst in the joint of my thumb that interfered with my clinical classes that I needed to take for nursing school. My podiatrist recommended I go to Professional Orthopaedic Associates, specifically the Tinton Falls office to see Dr. Johnson. After consultations with him, we decided a surgical approach would be the best for me based upon the cysts position in between nerves. Shortly after the surgery, I went to occupational therapy, and was quickly able to return to school. Thanks to Dr. Johnson, I didn't have to give up my dream of an education in the medical field.”

“My husband was injured while on vacation and needed to see an orthopedic specialist as soon as he returned. I couldn’t get an appointment right away with other offices. A friend recommended Dr. Torpey. Not only was he seen that day, but the staff called and got approval within minutes from my insurance for an MRI. He had the MRI five minutes later. My husband was back in the office in two days to discuss the MRI findings and treatment. I have never experienced such professionalism and genuine concern from an office staff. Dr. Torpey spent a lot of time with us during the exams and made sure we understood every facet of the surgical procedure my husband needed. He has a warm and genuine bedside manner. I knew my husband was in good hands. I highly recommend Professional Orthopedics and will always be grateful for the wonderful medical care my husband received.”

“Dr. Gesell helped me to feel confident about the surgeries that he would perform. He explained the surgical procedure and what I should expect after as far as mobility and pain levels as the healing time progressed. His demeanor made me feel sure that I had the correct doctor for each of my procedures. He first performed a total hip replacement which I had put off for much too long. I now have a well-performing hip that makes me feel like I have the bone of a 15-year-old. Dr. Gesell also fixed the tears in my right shoulder. He told me what to expect after the surgery and how long my recovery would take. Now I have a pain free shoulder. Dr. Gesell is also treating me for my right knee which has a tear and some arthritis. He has done two injections that have helped immensely, although I do know that somewhere down the line I will need a knee replacement, he has assured me that we can wait until that procedure is necessary for the quality of life which I do have at this point with the injections. Thank you, Dr. Gesell ”

“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.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Foos for years and find him and the entire office staff to be above board, professional and courteous. ”

“Not only are the doctors terrific, but also everyone at the desk. So let me ask you, Why do you think I, along with my family, keep coming here?”
