Patient Reviews

“Hi Jason, I extend my thanks and appreciation to you for reaching out and discussing my shoulder problem with me. I know you are a busy guy and only know of me through Chris, but nevertheless you took the time to talk to me on three occasions without reservation. It is comforting to me that your interpretation of my shoulder situation is the same as the surgeon down here in Vero Beach. I have pretty much decided to go ahead with the reverse replacement. I know it's a big deal and I have anxiety about it but the thought of living the rest of my life as compromised as I am directs me on only one path. Again, thank you for your input. I look forward to meeting you next time I am in NJ.”

“I was very nervous regarding the injury I had suffered after a car accident, being that I am a very active male who enjoys playing a lot of sports as well as dancing about twice a week, and when I go dancing I'm dancing to for anywhere from 4-8 hours or more, usually  with people usually much younger. So being that my injury meant that this was going to be perhaps the most serious surgery I had to go through in about 40 years I was very much concerned. Not only did Dr. G put at ease before, but immediately afterwards & during the 6 month recovery period. Also I like to add that I found the whole staff top notch & friendly, I have worked in Healthcare for over 30 years and have never encountered a staff as friendly & helpful as the staff here. I would recommend Professional to anyone needing their services, in fact I have to some minor foot surgery done, and the only ones I want to perform it is Professional Orthopaedics.”

“Dr. Gabisan came highly recommended. Fast office service and professional staff. Great personal attention and care.”

“Dr. Nicholson was thorough and explicit in his examination and discussion of my shoulder issue. He answered all my questions and concerns. ”

“I was at my most frustrated point, no one was able to come to a conclusion as to what was "wrong with me," I’ve had over 22 vascular operations, my joints were killing me, and had small tumors in my nerves, along with many other symptoms. Finally my knees were so bad, I could barely make it through a grocery trip, without them buckling and landing on the floor. I was barely in my 30’s. I had 33 mall children, had been searching for answers for over 10 years, most doctors thought I had Lupus, but all tests were always negative. I use to dance, do jazz and ballet, loved the beach, and bike riding all were things of my past. If I dared to take three steps in sand, my knees would literally fold underneath me. I was scared; I had hemorrhaged, come close to dying and had no hope. So yes, this office is an orthopaedic office, but they do more than that, they "listen" and truly care. Dr. Foos came recommended by 3 different doctors. He tried conservative measures first to strengthen my knees, however, after MRIs and physical therapy, surgery was the next step. I will never forget his words: “Your knee looks like you have played professional football for over 40 years. I did much more extensive work than I planned, which went well and will give you some time. However, you must get it replaced, very soon. I cannot believe, I am telling someone your age this.” In my mid late 30’s, I had both knees replaced, and my left elbow (partially replaced) and he found me a doctor who KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME!!! I began treatments, with immune suppressants and both doctors communicate on my case regularly. I walk on the beach, without pain AT ALL. I am now 52, have hardly had much better quality of life, and attended almost all of my son’s soccer games, daughters cheerleading events, and my older son's concerts. This is ALL due to Dr Foo's and Professional Orthopaedic Associates. They care, they listen, and they are amazing at what they do.”

“So far after 2 surgeries, cervical and lumbar fusion and discectomies, I have complete faith in my surgeon and his staff. My appointments are on time, no waiting, my questions are answered, my concerns never dismissed.  If I call the office, either Adrian picks up the call immediately, or promptly returns my call. Could not ask for a more pleasant, courteous, professional staff all around. Everything is handled efficiently, from appointments to billing. Very satisfied.”

“Dr. Plyler is easy to talk to, listens to what you say, and goes over your diagnosis in detail, so you completely understand your options. ”

“Dr. Gabisan is the most caring and compassionate doctor. My surgery and office appointments were always handied with profelssionally by all staff. I am extremely pleased with my surgery results.”

“Dr. Bade highly recommended for my knee surgery. My experience at his office and surgery center was amazing, and the staff at both locations were friendly, efficient, and caring. I recommend Professional Orthopaedic Associates. My surgery was a success! If you want a relaxing, clean, and friendly environment with a low risk of infection, this is a 5-star facility! Thank you, Dr. Bade and staff. Special thanks to Patty Orlando, the surgical coordinator!”

“As always, Dr. Gesell was friendly and professional. He spoke to me about my options but didn't push anything. He gave me time to weigh my options and come back when I make my decision. I appreciate his honesty and his friendly manner.”
