“Dr. Torpey is an outstanding surgeon. I have RA and was very slow to heal my arthroscopic knee surgery of a meniscal repair. Dr Torpey is very understanding and is continuing to try to heal my right knee by going one step at a time. I have tremendous faith in him and his office staff. Thank you.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Bade for at least nine years. I have nothing but great things to say about him. He is very professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. No one could ever convince me to go anywhere else. He is the very best at what he does, and I constantly recommend him to everyone I know.”

“I couldn´t have been more thrilled about my half year´s tourist visa. A dream came true. Two months into traveling, I slid off a rock at Yosemite NP and broke my foot. The dream turned into a nightmare. Over the next three days, my foot´s x-rays were examined by three different doctors: an emergency doctor, a radiologist and an orthopaedist. In the end I was told that there was a heel fracture that would heal by itself. I wasn´t willing to give up on my traveling plans yet and figured I could let the foot heal for some weeks while staying with friends in New Jersey. Those friends, when they heard my story, immediately recommended Professional Orthopaedic Associates for me to have a second (fourth) opinion. Dr. Gabisan knew right away that this was a serious injury and surgery was needed. He identified a dislocated tendon as part of the problem even before the CT scan confirmed it. I did not like what I heard, in fact, I was deeply shocked. But the clear, calm and unwavering way in which Dr. Gabisan delivered that bad news made me trust in his expertise right away. I underwent surgery and two weeks later, looked at the new x-rays. There are no words for the relief and joy that I felt when I saw with my own eyes that everything inside my foot was back in place. I cannot even begin to think what my further life would have looked like, had I believed the first doctors and let the foot be. Most likely, my mobility would have been limited for the rest of my life. I´m an active person: being out there in nature, hiking and climbing, means the world to me. But it wasn´t only the fact that Dr. Gabisan fixed the foot so beautifully. During a time of emotional turmoil, he and his team took care of me with so much kindness and gentle patience that I cannot help but feel the deepest of gratefulness. Sometimes a smile, an open ear and the willingness to explain things for a third time, when a patient feels upset, stressed and confused, seem just as important as medical expertise and surgical skills. I felt seen as a person with a story, with tremendous anxieties and hopes, not just "the fractured heel". After three doctors screwed it up, I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Gabisan to screw me together. Even though my travels are over for the time being, I know now that I will be able to travel again and explore new places of beauty and wonder on two healthy and strong feet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to a wonderful team, to a doctor who has clearly had a vocation for doing exactly what he does, for the benefits of everyone lucky enough to discover this practice. Dear. Dr Gabisan, you will always be my he(el)ro.”

“This was my 3rd surgery with Dr. Foos. As usual, Dr. Foos was great and the whole process was quick, efficient and virtually pain-free. I was back on court playing tennis in 6 weeks.”
