Patient Reviews

“Excellent surgery, follow-up, and continued guidance. Very efficient office. Thanks everyone!”

“I broke my thumb from baseball, and it required surgery to repair. I am now fully healed and have no pain or discomfort.”

“The staff is polite both at Freehold and Tinton Falls. Scheduled appointments are met at a reasonable time. Dr. Torpey was wonderful.”

“Dear Dr. Bade, Too often in today's world all of us are quick to complain. I would feel remiss if I personally did not say "thank-you" for the two hip replacements that you performed on me over the past three years and most recently in Jan of this year. To say the least the success of these two total hip replacement operations has improved my quality of life. In addition I would like to say "thank-you" to the entire staff at Professional Orthopedic Associates for the way they treated me. This includes the front office staff, the X-ray technicians, the business personnel and a special "thank-you" to Patty Orlando. All personnel have treated me in the most professional standards and I as one have always appreciated this. Have a good day, keep the faith, and keep smiling. Sincerely, ~ A totally "hip" patient.”

“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. ”

“From the time I walked in the door I felt as though everyone was there to help me---a relaxed atmosphere and a complete sense of professionalism....the entire staff was there to be of assistance. a great experience.”

“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. ”

“It was a pleasure to be a patient of Dr. Johnson.  I was a patient at the Toms River office. The staff at that office was wonderful to me. I had problems with arthritis in my left knee. After taking x-rays, Dr. Johnson gave me a shot of cortisone and prescribed physical therapy. Both the shot and the physical therapy did work really well for me at the time. Dr. Johnson is a wonderful, caring doctor. Thank you.”

“Dr. Parker was kind. He listened to my concerns, and I greatly appreciated him walking me through every step of an injection I received. I felt confident with his treatment plan and would highly recommend him to other patients.”

“I have been a patient at Professional Orthopaedic Associates since the beginning. I was an original patient of Dr. Bade in the Long Branch office. Dr. Bade has performed three of the five surgeries on my left knee. The other two were performed out of state. Dr. Bade was consulted on both surgeries and both were performed by physicians based on his recommendations. Dr. Jason Cohen performed a C Spine disectomy on me in 2005. Over the years and various other injuries or follow-ups on existing injuries or surgeries, I have been seen by the other doctors in the group and have been very satisfied with all of them.”
