Read what our patients are saying about Professional Orthopaedic Associates.
“Dr. Gesell is one of the most caring doctors I have ever seen. He did my knee replacement a year ago from a car accident and I would do it all over again with him. My knee is perfect with no pain and I can extend and flex with no problems. I can stand for a long time, when before, I could only stand for approximately an hour. He was very caring and he looked in on me in the hospital to make sure I was doing okay and making sure I was doing my exercises! If it wasn't for Dr. Gesell, I would still be in pain, still be frustrated, and I would still be limping or on crutches! Thanks to Dr. Gesell, I can walk now, even though I need a hip replacement.This is how caring he is, my hip is so bad, he referred me to Hospital for Special Surgery, which is where he did his fellowship, to a great doctor. Thanks to Dr. Gesell, I will be walking without any aids, like a cane or a walker. Thanks to Dr. Gesell and the very caring staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates, I can get straightened out! Thank you!”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Cohen is a very experienced and competent doctor. Above all, he has great compassion for his patients. Between my wife and myself, we have had five back surgeries by Dr. Cohen. I cannot even think of going anywhere else for back surgery if either one of us needs surgery again, and it will be by Dr. Cohen. If I have a question about my treatment, Dr. Cohen or one of his staff always gets back to me. Dr. Cohen says that my wife and I are now like family and he treats us like we are. He’s a great guy and doctor.”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gabisan was great. He diagnosed the Achilles tear immediately despite my primary care physician missing it. He was thorough and transparent in the prognosis. Surgery and post-op care has been excellent. The staff has been accommodating and responsive to all my administrative questions. Overall experience was unique, and I felt like I was in excellent hands. ”

Treating Doctor:“There are not enough words to describe how wonderful my doctor is. He replaced my knees, fixed my elbows and wrists, all with a smile on his face. How can you thank a person like Dr. Gesell?”
– Sushma S.
Treating Doctor:“My back was so bad I could not even pick up my 4 yr old for almost a year. One wrong move shut me down for days. I tried everything. I was referred to Dr. Cohen from my pain management doctor. He has made me a new person. Everyone is amazed at how I am pain free and back in the gym. Every time I pick up my son now he always says, "Mommy, I am so glad you can pick me up again," and I get a big hug. Priceless. Dr. Cohen is the most amazing man. I refer everyone to him.”
