Patient Video Reviews

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

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I am one hundred percent cent satisfied with my surgery and all prior and post services. Dr. Gentile spent more time than any other doctor has, answering all of my questions and concerns. He even spent time looking at x rays and my mri from another injury. Then he gave me options and the names of five other doctors that could assist me with this problem. I have now had three surgeries at Professional Orthopedics. Each was a success and a great experience. ”

  • “I had knee pain for many years, but chose to ignore it due to the fact I was very overweight. I assumed any doctor would just look at me and say, "lose weight and you will feel better." Well, I lost over 120 lbs. and still had pain. So I finally sought treatment. I knew a few people Dr. Foos helped and he was highly recommended. After meeting with him, it was decided I needed surgery to repair a torn meniscus and a hole in my cartilage. I was pain free for the first time for as long as I can remember. Fast-forward 2 years, I re-tore the same knee and went back to see Dr. Foos. This time we elected to try a shot of synvisc. It was successful, and I was able to return to my very active lifestyle. I highly recommend Dr. Foos!”

  • “After seeing two other orthopedics, Dr. Gentile was the only one who gave a correct diagnosis. I highly recommend it. Staff is wonderful.”

    – Christina S.

  • “I have nothing to say but great things. Great care and concern, and I would not go anywhere else.”

    – Fortunate S.

  • “Dear Dr. Bade, I wanted to thank you from my heart in regards to seeing me and having an MRI done this past Monday. I am happy with the positive news that surgery is not necessary. If I had to get surgery, I thought at least, I’d get the really cool Harry Bade “HB” magic marker signature on my knee like my son did. Thank you for your outstanding skill and kindness. ”

    – M B.

  • “Dear Doctor Gentile: Thank you for all of your help in my accident recovery efforts. I am happy with my treatments at the POA, and am grateful you performed my surgery. Your understanding of both my accident & surgery recovery processes is appreciated and has undoubtedly contributed to my progress. Many thanks for your professionalism and expertise during this challenging time for me.”

    – Robert M.

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I can't say enough about the experience my son and I had with Dr. Gabisan and the entire staff. My son came in as an emergency and ended up needing surgery that same evening. From the front desk with their warm welcome and efficient demeanor, to the X-ray staff, handling my son with care and respect. This was all new to me, and Dr. Gabisan's surgical coordinator, Rosanne, walked me through it all, with recommendations and patience. I can't say enough about the doctor himself. He explained all options, let me know what he considered the best course of action, and was able to keep us both calm in the process. My son is recovering beautifully, and the surgery was a resounding success!  ”
