“I came to see Dr. Gentile with two hand problems, right thumb and left middle finger. My first appointment was a shot to see if the problem would resolve. My second appointment was to decide if I needed the middle finger surgically fixed. Dr. Gentile made the decision easy for me, explained the procedure thoroughly and assured me the outcome would be a fixed finger. The scheduling was smooth, the nursing staff was great, and the office help were efficient. They remembered my name, which was essential to me. All in all, a very positive experience. ”

“My experience with Dr. Parker was excellent. We went over all my concerns with my MRI and spent time going over the possibility of surgery. He is a very caring doctor who does not rush and spends time with his patients.”

I’m very grateful for his immediate response to my concerns. This practice is very well run. I thank everyone in the office who was involved in this process, from scheduling an appointment to any insurance authorizations. I wish you all continued success.”

“My family sees other physicians within Professional Orthopaedic Associates, and we argue over who had the better experience. Whether for knees, necks, backs, or ankles - we know where to go - Professional Orthopaedic Associates! I have been a patient of Dr. Gabisan's for a little under a year, but I must say that I wish he was not just an orthopaedic. His bedside manner is amazing. He sits, listens, and asks questions to better understand your issue. When you are a patient of his, you are a person not a number or a set of symptoms. I have been having issues with the same ankle over the better course of 7 years. He listened to the each issue, and then went further, and helped me come up with strategies to alleviate the tension and stress on my joint. Not to mention he warned against future injuries in my other ankle because of loosening ligaments. While the physicians are attentive and caring, it is not just Dr. Gabisan who makes the experience comforting, his office staff, Roz and RoseAnne worked with my crazy schedule to help get the scans I needed, and a chance to see Dr. Gabisan where I would not feel rushed. Even though in my future is probably a surgical procedure I think I can say I look forward to knowing that I will have all of the answers to my questions, and someone supporting me through it all. ”

“I just want to express my thanks and gratitude to my spinal surgeon, Dr. Jason Cohen, for his professionalism and expertise. Dr. Cohen treated me for my lower back issues and made it possible for me to cycle again...pain-free!”

Treating Doctor:“My experience with Professional Orthopaedic Associates, and Dr. Brian Torpey, has been outstanding in every phase. The initial visit and diagnosis was thorough, thoughtful, and presented with a plan that gave me confidence in all phases to come. The surgery, and follow up care has followed the same pattern. My recovery has been progressing superbly under Dr. Nancy Allario, and the follow-up visits to Dr. Torpey have given me an outlook to a full return to my sporting interests. The staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates has been warm and helpful through all of the phases of my time interacting with them. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone seeking the knowledge and expertise necessary in dealing with issues related to this type of practice. Thank you to all of you for helping me.”

“This was my first experience with an orthopedist. I researched different doctors online, read reviews, and made my decision to see Dr. Plyler. The office staff is the most professional I have ever encountered. Dr. Plyler was welcoming and instantly put me at ease. He wasn’t rushed. He took the time to explain what was happening with my torn meniscus, then patiently and thoroughly answered all of my questions. I opted for surgery, within days afterward, I felt so much better! He did a fantastic job!! It’s hard to find the whole package in a doctor, with Dr. Plyler and his staff. You get just that. ”
