Patient Reviews

“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!!!”

“Dr. Johnson is the best and the girls at the desk rock!”

“I underwent emergency lumbar spinal surgery, expertly and swiftly performed by Dr. Cohen within hours of meeting him to relieve crushed nerves as a result of a severely herniated disc. Some years later after developing symptoms that included severe pain down the back and front of both legs, Dr. Cohen performed a Transpsoas Interbody and Posterior Lumbar Fusion at L3-4, L4-5. I put my trust in Dr. Cohen and he saved me twice. During my hospital stays, Dr. Cohen visited me every day, not only to check on my condition but to comfort me and my family. God made a good man and fine surgeon when he made Jason Cohen.  I have been Dr. Cohen's patient for years now. He, his nurse Adrienne and the rest of his staff are kind, compassionate, dedicated, and very hard working. They are also excellence teachers. Dr. Cohen and Adrienne took the time to educate me and answer questions about my condition, the type of surgery I would receive, and the necessary post-surgical care to be administered.  There is no need to travel to New York or Pennsylvania in search of a spinal surgeon when we are fortunate enough to have the best spinal surgeon right in our own backyard.”

“Dear Dr. Dave, Just a quick note to thank you for assisting with my knee replacement.  After your wonderful care for the past 12 years, I was just so appreciative to see your smiling face prior to going to the O.R. that morning.  Tom and I knew from the beginning that you didn’t do the replacements, but you kept your word when you told me you’d do your best to help the surgeon.  Dr. Gesell was a great recommendation…thank you for that as well.  I feel like I’ve gotten the best of both worlds…two great surgeons and functional results!  Now I have two surgeons to walk me into the future (one I consider a dear friend). Thank you again.”

“Very pleasant , and professional. Appointment wait time was always very prompt and I would recommend Professional Orthopaedic Associates to any of my friends.”

“Pleasant, as pleasant as an injection can be. Dr Gabisan is warn, friendly and makes me feet at ease with all aspects of my treatment. I recommend him to all my friends,. ”

“I have a one year update to share: After my multi-level, 3 disc fusion on Sept 21, 2015 and 12 weeks of rehab, I was out playing golf once again. When I went to see Dr. Cohen back in Sept 2015 I was convinced that golf was no longer in my vocabulary and regaining full use of my legs may not be possible. My spinal cord was pinched off so severely that my legs could not hold me up and walking was very limited. Since then I have continued to exercise and began playing competitive golf in February, just 5 months later. This past August, one year to the day that I was injured, I returned to Myrtle Beach to compete in the world's largest amateur golf tournament, where I withdrew just one year ago. This event is a grinding 4 day tournament against 3500 golfers from all over the world and I was elated that I won my flight every day for four days straight. Then the day before my 50th birthday, two days before the anniversary of my surgery, I won the Club Championship at the Golf Club of NJ and then again the Club Championship at Pine Barrens Golf Course. Two weeks after that, another win at Galloway Golf Club in a NJ State tournament. These are all events that took me 20 years to finally win and I did it at age 50; one year after a major, major back surgery. I am so very grateful to Dr. Cohen for giving me my life back and I can't thank him enough. He is a phenomenal surgeon. Don't settle for less. ”

“Harry has been fixing me for years. I honestly owe him so much more than thanks. I work, live, play and exist because of his ability to put me back together. I hope i never see him again but for some reason, i think our paths are bound to meet up again!! ”

“Dr Bade! How can I describe my experience with the ultimate professional? This is on doctor that actually still practices by a moral code. My problems were always addressed and Dr Bade never rushed through any of my appointments before or after shoulder surgery. I had forgotten what it was like to have such an incredible physcian. Hands on and actually palpates. My appointments were always on time and each visit was non threatening. The staff is friendly and caring and always manage to work with you should an issue arise. I can't see myself going to another Orthopaedic Doctor after being at Professional Ortho. They definitely are worthy of the name professional.”

“Dr. Torpey is a constellation of excellence ---I saw him recently for a painful complex elbow injury. I've known him 18 years and he's still the best Orthopedic MD I know! His kind manner, patient listening & clear explanations helped me move ahead w/o fear. He treated my Mom w/hip replacement & and my brother too. I'm so grateful for all that Dr. Torpey has done for me & others and I always spread the word on how special he is. ”
