Patient Video Reviews

  • “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.”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dear Dr. Cohen and staff, I had to write and thank you for giving me back my LIFE! I feel excellent and I am doing some of the things I love to do. When I came to you I was quite desperate and worried about my future. It's not just my job (teaching 2nd grade) that was in jeopardy, it was my livelihood. I have a teenager and two young children to care for, as well as an active sporting life that I was not ready to give up. From my first visit you and everyone there (Marilyn and Adrienne especially) were so kind and understanding. The insurance company was making things very difficult for me. Out you were always available to answer my questions and ease my concerns. Thank you again! (And the scars aren't even so bad, by the way :)”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I love Dr. Gesell. He is always very professional. He still takes his time with me to answer any questions I have. He never rushes. I recommend him and Professional Orthopaedic Associates to everyone.”

    – Kristine H.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Gesell has treated me for a few years due to a damaged right knee. I appreciated that he would drain the fluid and inject cortisone when the pain and swelling got too bad. He never pressured me into surgery although I needed it but was not ready for the commitment. When I finally decided on a TKR, Dr. Gesell patiently guided me through the process. I had robotic surgery on April 27th and am happy with the results of my new knee and straight leg. I still have some swelling and stiffness but am much improved from the past pain and deformity. As a mother of a Physician, I expected certain professionalism from my team and was pleased with Dr. Gesell and his staff. The office is friendly and efficient, and patients aren't required to sit and wait for hours in the waiting room. I have referred many people to Dr. Gesell and hope that he continues to stay focused on positive outcomes for his patients. ”

  • “Got right to the point (in 'my language'), while understanding 'my' big picture. Was a good learning experienced for me. Thank you, Professional Ortho', and especially Dr. Gesell (also the DJO specialist). Good job-Bill.”

    – Bill B.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “We are finding out that our son had a torn ACL and a fully torn meniscus due to a football injury was quite difficult to hear. We had many questions. Dr. Bade amazing and spent quality time with us at each visit, especially after his first surgery. Dr. Bade is such a perfectionist, and the first surgery took a long time due to the meniscus continually tearing upon repair. We were tense/nervous/exhausted and he sat with us at 9:30 at night to meticulously detail the entire surgery. Post op appointment Dr. Bade showed us all the photos and again explained the whole procedure. The staff was accommodating. Fast forward to the next year - Senior year football captain - and tragedy still — the second injury just like the first. We had the same nurturing and caring experience the first go round. We are thankful that Dr. Bade was our son's surgeon.”
