“Dr. Mark Gesell has helped me on several occasions. A fine, experienced physician and gentleman, he is also careful, patient and kind. He is cautious and does not advise unnecessary treatments. I have known him for years, because he was my student in high school. He comes from a fine family. Then, as now, I am pleased to recommend him without reservation and wish him all the best with his career.”

“Dear Dr. Gentile, Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding care you provided me for my fractured femur.

To you and your wonderful staff, I extend my best wishes for a happy holiday season and a wonderful 2012!”

“Dr. Torpey and the team at Professional Orthopaedic Associates saved my life. I had a rare dislocation - my right sternoclavicular joint was dislocating, and pressing into my throat and affecting the nerves going into my chest. Before the surgery, I had lost 1.5 liters of my lung volume and had elevated CO2. I had to go on a home ventilator to lower the CO2 and help me breathe. The dislocation was so rare that no one knew who could help - then I was referred to Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Torpey. Dr. Torpey used a donor tendon to secure my collarbone to my sternum. Within 3 days my chest wall started to move right, and within 2 weeks the CO2 levels stayed down. Within 4 weeks, I no longer needed the ventilator. By August I was back to riding my bike. I am now able to work full time instead of part time. Thanks to Dr. Torpey, I have a second chance, and a healthier life.”
