Patient Reviews

“Unfortunately, at work, I injured my bicep and shoulder. Luckily, I met Dr. Bade. I am not a professional athlete but need to be able to work and supply for my family, here in NJ. After surgeries, I am pain-free and ready to return to my profession. Dr. Bade explained everything that needed to occur, and he and I made that happen. If my family or friends ever have orthopedic issues, I would insist they visit Professional Orthopaedic Associates, and request Dr. Bade.”

“Dr. Giliberti explained everything thoroughly and gave me options. He was very professional. ”

“I want to thank you for the services you gave me for my shoulder. It is with your help that I can do almost anything and don't have much pain at all. I will recommend you if ever my friends or family needs an orthopedist. Thank you again. Forever grateful.”

“Dr. Gesell. I am fortunate to have a great doctor like you take care of me with my full knee replacement. I was back to work and driving in three weeks! Best of all, the horrible pain I had before the operation is gone.”

“I am a 49 year old ex-professional hockey player who had MAKO knee surgery with Dr. Bade and Dr. Gesell.  Prior to the surgery, I could barely walk. The pain in my knee was overwhelming to the point that I was having a hard time performing the more physical aspects of my job (I am a hockey director and coach) and I was unable to participate in my favorite past-time activity, golf. I had a partial knee replacement via MAKO surgery the morning of January 30, 2015, and by the same afternoon, I was up and taking steps with a walker. I had very little discomfort even directly after the procedure; I never even filled the pain medication prescription I was given, I just used over-the-counter ibuprofren, which controlled any discomfort. I followed the recommended course of physical therapy and quickly progressed to normal function. In early March (five weeks post-surgery), I was back on the ice, skating. Two months post surgery, I was back on the golf course. Today, I am three months post surgery and I feel great. I have no limitations and I am functioning at full capacity. I would highly recommend these doctors and this procedure to anyone who is a candidate for it. Dr. Bade and Dr. Gesell are outstanding surgeons and I am grateful for their meticulous care.”

“Dr. Giliberti explains what’s going on in a language you can understand. I appreciate that. The staff is courteous, and everyone is on time. Good practice. ”

“I had lower-back surgery due to a herniated disc in August of 1999, followed by a breast cancer diagnosis at age 30 that very same year. Although I came through with flying colors, I was discouraged to find out that I had yet another herniated disc in 2011. The thought of more surgery was upsetting so I devoted many hours a week to physical therapy. Unfortunately, the therapies did not alleviate my symptoms. A very dear friend recommended Dr. Cohen to me. I was extremely impressed with him after my first appointment. He reviewed my MRI films with me and explained all of my options. He was extremely patient, professional, and I appreciated his conservative approach. Although surgery was my only real option, I was totally confident with Dr. Cohen performing my surgery. I am happy to say that the end result was fantastic! I am running and exercising again, and I have never been happier! I am in better shape at 45 than I was in my 20’s! A special thanks is extended to Dr. Cohen. I would not ever hesitate recommending him to a friend.”

“Dr. Gabisan and his staff were completely awesome! I would highly recommend him!”

“Dr. Parker has a wonderful and caring bedside manner. I was in terrible pain in my knee, and Dr. Parker gave me a cortisone shot and a prescription for physical therapy along with a topical anti-inflammatory. Dr. Parker reached out to me himself about my prescription. I highly recommend him.”

“Dr. Nicholson zeroed in on what was causing my pain and treated it with an injection during my visit. Injection provided immediate results. Dr. Nicholson took the necessary time to examine me and explain everything.”
