  • “Dr. Parker thoroughly explained the results of my MRI and diagnosis. He reviewed the options for treatment. We agreed to start with a more conservative treatment, which he promptly administered.”

  • “This was my first meeting with Dr. Nicholson. He was very thorough and informative. Dr. Nicholson explained the condition and outlined two possible solutions. He is very easy to talk with and was interested in listening to my questions. I knew I made the right choice. Glad I met him.”

  • “After about 10 years of suffering with a bad ankle and having been told by 3 doctors, specialists in the field, that nothing can be done about the fact that my leg bone sat on top of the ankle bone instead of in its socket, I found Dr. Gabisan. He performed an operation November 2013, and now I can walk without pain. Also, for the past 3 days *(beginning March 10), I have only needed 1 cane to walk instead of a walker. Thanks Dr. Gabisan and staff.  I hope you enjoyed the basket of fruit I sent to your office on Thanksgiving.”

  • “I had a shoulder surgery in February of 2014 by one doctor. Won't mention his name. And it didn't go well. After 9 months of physical therapy things weren't go right. I was referred to Dr Johnson and got a second opinion from him, turns out I needed another surgery. Dr. Johnson did the surgery in January of 2015. I went for physical therapy again until May and went back to work June 1st. I wish I had Dr. Johnson the first time. What a pleasure it was to have been associated with Professional Orthopaedic, I think the whole staff is AAA. I love those guys. Would highly recommend, very friendly and professional. They make you feel like one of the family.”

  • “About 3 and a half years ago my hip began hurting me. I first went to see Dr. Bade who quickly recommended that I see the hip surgeon Dr. Torpey. Unfortunately, it turned out that I had a torn labrum. In order for the pain to go away and the situation not to get any worse he recommended that I get surgery. Needless to say, it was a complete success. It's been over a year now and I feel stronger than ever. I lift heavy weights, go rock climbing, run and do what ever I like without hesitation. The whole process with Dr. Torpey was easy, clear and I felt like I was in good hands. Thank you so much!”

  • “Came to see Dr. Bade after an incident that happened over a year prior where I experienced a pain like no other while trying to lift heavy dresses over my head after picking up their hangers from behind. After a thorough exam it was determined that there was nothing seriously wrong (whew!) and that some light exercise would help.  While other doctors might have gone for more expensive tests or physical therapy or prescription medication, Dr. Bade always takes the time to listen to me, ask additional questions, and do a thorough hands-on examination. I know I'm in good hands (literally).”

  • “I brought my elderly mother to this practice after she fell and broke her arm. We both found Dr. Parker to be patient and caring. He spent time with us, took the time to listen and answer all our questions, and explained things well. This was a welcome change from another doctor we’d been given in the hospital, and we were so glad we changed to Dr. Parker. He continues to care for my mother as she heals, and we feel his expertise is excellent. I would recommend him.”

  • “In acute pain and without an appointment I arrived at the office the Monday after New Years Eve rather desperate for help, and gratefully, Dr. Bade saw me quickly. After an in-office X-ray, he immediately got me relief with medication and arranged an MRI and subsequent appointment with Dr. Barry Swick. Once the pain had eased I was able to go ahead with Dr. Swick who further evaluated my diagnosis with nerve testing and recommended Ron Weiss, Physical Therapist.  I am continuing with the PT, which seems to help, and will consult again with Dr. Swick for a follow-up. It is the third time I have sought help with your skilled physicians. Dr Bade surgically corrected my left, rotator cuff in 2006 (which now functions well in my busy life) and advised me how to ease a meniscus tear in 2015. In each instance I felt complete confidence in Dr. Bade's expertise and advice and thank him for his wisdom at a time I was feeling such dire stress and pain. That is when you need a hero and he came through.  So, thank you, Dr. Harry Bade and Dr. Barry Swick, for your care and professionalism, and to your kindly staff. Thank you so much.”

  • “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.”
