“Great experience. Friendly staff.”
– Sandra S.
Treating Doctor:“Just a quick note to thank you and your "hands" for the expert injections last week! My right knee feels very good and my miserable left knee is good enough to let me go on vacation. Thank you. ”
– Carrie M.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Nicholson was very professional, thorough, and informative. ”
– John W.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Bade explained my injury to me very clearly. He took time to tell how I need to proceed to strengthen the area. He was very patient and made sure I understood.”
– Janet G.
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. ”

– M. Benard
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Giliberti and the staff were great. Not only that, but they were quick with seeing me and I was not at the office for more than 40mins. Great experience. ”
– Brent T.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Nicholson was very thorough with his explanation of my current condition and his plan to correct it. ”
– Clarence B.
Treating Doctor:“Life sometimes has a funny way of teaching us or showing us things. In my case, an injury such as mine certainly made me realize how important and how blessed we are to have our health and the ability to get around. It also brought me into contact with you! While Im sure there are other doctors out there who could do the job, I have no doubt that there is only one of you- only one who not only possesses the skill and knowledge but also has the compassion and understanding to see his patients for who they are, each one unique in person as well as circumstances! Youre a great doctor and a great man! Thank you truly from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me! Like the song says you're simply the best, better than all the rest.”
– C. Fitzpatrick
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gesell put me at ease from the start. He was not pushy but very factual. The hospital was excellent, and the whole experience went well. I would recommend him (and have) highly.”
