Patient Video Reviews

  • “There is no question that my life has changed for the better. There is not one single day that passes without being grateful for the skill, judgment, and experience that Dr. Cohen brought forth to the operating room on the day of my surgery. ”

    – Suzanne M.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Excellent as always, Dr. Torpey is the best, would go nowhere else. Thank you!”

    – Dorothy K.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I broke my ankle and went the emergency room where another doctor examined me and told me I would need surgery but had to wait two weeks until the swelling went down. Luckily for me it gave me the time to look for another doctor and a friend recommended Dr. Gabison. I had him do my surgery two years ago and  he is the best doctor I have ever used. He is patient, competent, soft spoken, compassionate and a down to earth doctor. I would highly recommend him.”

    – Rhoda L.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I met Dr. Bade over15 years ago when he operated on my knee. I had previously gone for a first opinion to another orthopaedic doctor. When I explained that the other doctor wanted to realign my knee, Dr.  Bade strongly disagreed and said that I should not allow anyone to do that. He explained that the knee is like a traverse rod that runs smoothly. When you realign it, it will not run as smoothly as it should. I felt comfortable with the advise he gave me and he did my surgery soon after. Well, Dr. Bade was correct. It's been at least 15 or more years since then and I haven't had any problems since then. In recent years, I have gone to him for a hip problem and more recently, a shoulder problem. His careful examinations and correct diagnosis of my problems have been the key to my successful health outcome in each case. I have recommended Dr. Bade to many of my friends and coworkers in the Manalapan school system over the years and everyone has come back to thank me for recommending him. They all feel lucky to have found such a good and honest man as well as the best orthopaedic surgeon in our area. I might add that he never rushes you during his office visits. He takes as long as necessary to complete his diagnosis and he also takes the time to chat about life in general. I like that in a doctor. Most doctors today barely give you a chance to speak and rush you out the door. Dr. Bade is not that type of doctor. He is so respectful.”

    – Annabella S.

  • “Dr. Foos is the best, he has in-depth knowledge about my torn PCL, but more importantly he can explain it to a person without the same level of knowledge!”

    – Rich C.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Very friendly staff. Dr. Nicholson took the time to explain my injury and the treatment I would need. It was an overall great experience.”

    – Joann M.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Not a bad one in the bunch! I saw Dr. Gesell for knee pain. He gave me a needle which I didn't even feel a pinch. I call this my six-month lub job. Dr. Gabisan removed a bone spur above my big toe this fall. I felt like I was at a spa. I was given heated blankets and a TV in my room. The staff was excellent as was my doctor. I was back to walking my dogs in a couple of days. I didn't need pain meds but took a couple of advil. I would recommend this procedure in a heartbeat.”

    – Marianne C.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I appreciate the time Dr. Bade spent with me and his suggestions for improving my mobility. I am extremely happy with the treatment and guidance I received.”

    – Lila D.

  • “Thank you, times two!  You are more than just an extraordinary doctor, but a gracious human being too. The first thank you is for successfully treating my leg pain over the past two years.  Today I can resume my active lifestyle without stress and physical pain. The second thank you is to express my appreciation for the incredible opportunity to shadow and observe surgery with you.  Changing my role as patient to student in your world, although brief, was an experience that made it definite to pursue a career in the healthcare profession.  I look forward to more observation opportunities with you.  Enjoy the rest of your summer.  ”

    – Caitlin A.

  • “Skiing at Whistler after collar bone injury!Dear Dr. Bade, Just a short note to thank you and your staff for taking such good care of my broken collar bone and encouraging me to stick with my plans of skiing after only two months of recovery. I took it easy and had a great time. Next year it is back to the double blacks.”
