Patient Video Reviews

  • “Dr. Foos is, in my opinion, the best ortho doctor in the entire area. I live in Florida now, and I still come to NJ to see Dr. Foos if I have issues that need. He is frank, gentle, all-knowing and I trust him fully on his diagnosis of any bone pain I may have. I have been going to him for years as are my grown children and their children. Dr. Foos is my family's official "bone" doctor.”

  • “This was my first time here. The ladies at the desk were very helpful, nice, and polite. I did not wait a long time in the office. I saw Dr. Parker right away, who was nice and knowledgeable. I will be going back to see him soon.”

  • “Dr. Parker has a wonderful and caring bedside manner. I was in terrible pain in my knee, and Dr. Parker gave me a cortisone shot and a prescription for physical therapy along with a topical anti-inflammatory. Dr. Parker reached out to me himself about my prescription. I highly recommend him.”

  • “Dr. Gesell is one of the most caring doctors I have ever seen. He did my knee replacement a year ago from a car accident and I would do it all over again with him. My knee is perfect with no pain and I can extend and flex with no problems. I can stand for a long time, when before, I could only stand for approximately an hour. He was very caring and he looked in on me in the hospital to make sure I was doing okay and making sure I was doing my exercises! If it wasn't for Dr. Gesell, I would still be in pain, still be frustrated, and I would still be limping or on crutches! Thanks to Dr. Gesell, I can walk now, even though I need a hip replacement.This is how caring he is, my hip is so bad, he referred me to Hospital for Special Surgery, which is where he did his fellowship, to a great doctor. Thanks to Dr. Gesell, I will be walking without any aids, like a cane or a walker. Thanks to Dr. Gesell and the very caring staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates, I can get straightened out! Thank you!”

  • “Dr. Johnson, I wish to thank you for the great job that you did for me on two occasions. The first was a couple of years ago after a sever ligament tear to my left thumb. Since then it has healed tremendously and it is now a non-issue in daily performance on the job, when I'm working out or in the future as I perform my summer duties life guarding. The second was the most recent operation you performed on my knee to take care of a torn piece of cartilage. Though I still think about it in order to protect it, I shocked myself when to perform a task that involved the use of brute force i used that very leg and didn't realize I had until afterward. I of course rebuked myself for doing so, but it put a smile on my face realizing that the knee was solid. I also wish to give a sincere thank you for the greatest confidence you instilled on my daughter when she saw you. She was amazed when you got on the phone and got her an appointment within a week with a doctor that she was not able to get an appointment for over a month. She also said that she felt tremendously comfortable with your overall demeanor and courtesy towards her in a personal way and not just a clinical manner. We've known one another since high school and I am proud to tell people that fact. Not just because you are an excellent doctor and surgeon, for which I recommend you, but because you are a fine individual that really does care about his patients.”

  • “Dr. Gesell couldn’t have done any better in replacing my knee. I didn’t know what to expect, and he put me ar ease and got me through the entire experience. So much so, I’m going back to do my other knee.”

  • “Came in with inflamed golfers elbow. Thought it would cost me the season. Dr. Johnson got me back feeling good in a month! Don't know if it was the meds, stretching and strengthening exercises, or both, but I'm back! Thank you!”
