Read what our patients are saying about Professional Orthopaedic Associates.
“My experience with Dr. Gesell was good. My knee is healing well, and I liked the fact that I saw Dr. Gesell for post surgery follow up checks instead of a PA, etc. I was always treated with kindness, and Dr. Gesell is an excellent surgeon. Dr. Gesell's care was so much more beautiful and better. ”

“As an avid outdoor sportsman and active volunteer in two organizations that promotes Conservation of our NJ Natural Resources through the use of proper forestry stewardship, hunting, fishing and trapping, it was too painful to maintain my sports and volunteerism with the constant pain in my knee, hip, and lower back. Knowing that I had bone on bone in my knee, I opted to visit Dr. Gesell after attending one of his seminars on Robotic Surgery. He recommended that I get an epidural spinal injection. I had the injection preformed this morning by a doctor at the Premier Pain Center, also a recommendation by Dr. Gesell, and now after 5 hours, I am 95% pain free. Thank you, Dr. Gesell.”

Treating Doctor:“I had my hip replaced in September by Dr. Torpey I couldn't be more pleased with the care I have received from he and his entire staff. At 43 years of age you could imagine how scared I was to have this procedure done. Dr. Torpey was absolutely amazing prior, during and postoperatively. I would recommend him for anyone needing hip care at any age!”

“I received a catastrophic knee injury in 1978 as a 16-year-old football player. I spent the next 29 years of my life having acute pain and 8 knee surgeries, until Dr. Bade performed a total knee replacement in 2006. The surgery was better than anything I ever hoped for. The recovery went well, quick, and 8 weeks almost to the day, I rode in the MS50, 50-mile bicycle charity event on the Jersey shore. I had over twice as long in my life with terrible knee pain and limitations that I had forgotten how to go to bed at night and fall asleep without having to take aspirin, prop my leg and have ice. I will never be able to thank Dr. Bade enough and I refer anyone who asks, "Where did you get your knee done?" to Dr Bade and Professional Orthopaedic Associates.”

“In a medical world that is often under pressure to be so clinical, the patient’s need to be heard is frequently brushed aside. Dr. Lusk-Cáceres has shown that she will listen with sincerity, clearly show and explain what my orthopedic problems are, and suggest the best solutions going forward.”
