Patient Reviews

“Major pain issues, Dr. Gesell, helped explain my situation and treatment options. He helped put my mind at ease.”

“Dr. Gentile first saw me a few days after my fall and explained through your what XRAYs and testing showed. He explained fully the option of the surgery to reattach the quad to the knee. After the surgery he was very patient and understanding throughout the recovery period to date. WILL CONTINUE THERAPY AND BE BACK IN 6 WEEKS .”

“The whole process went flawlessly, from diagnosis, to day-of-surgery, to follow-up visits with Dr. Gentile. Overall, very happy with my experience.”

“Professional exceptional medical advice.”

“I had been having problems with my knees, which in turn held me back from enjoying the retirement years that I was so much looking forward to. I decided to see Dr. Torpey at Professional Orthopaedic Associates to find out if there was anything that he could do to reverse the condition and associated pain. The examination was done along with x-rays and the results were that my knees were in bad condition, my right knee worse than the left. After exploring the options to remedy the situation, I choose to have my right knee treated with the Synvisc treatment. Before I had even completed the three-week treatment period, my knee felt great with no more pain and excellent mobility. To my benefit, the treatment lasted longer than projected, but then my knee started to fail again. I went back to Dr. Torpey, an examination was done again, and the result was that the only option was a knee replacement. I agreed and the wheels were set in motion for the operation. Dr. Torpey performed the successful operation in 2009. After a period of physical therapy, I have been pain free and active ever since. If ever I have to have my left knee operated on, you can be sure that Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Torpey will be involved. Thank you Dr. Torpey.”

“My story has two parts. First, approximately 27 years ago, I was involved in an accident that required knee surgery. Dr. Bade performed surgery to reattach my ACL using two screws. While attending physical therapy, I was informed while the surgery was a huge success; I would be somewhat limited with use and range of motion in the future. I was to be out of work for six months, and I was further disappointed as I am also an avid weight lifter, and this would surely damper my workouts. How wrong the physical therapist was. I returned to work after two months, and to this day, I have full range of motion. I can do any leg exercise from squats to leg press with as much weight as I want, including several hundred pounds, I HAVE NO LIMITATIONS. Now at the age of 46, I have encountered another injury requiring surgery to my left shoulder. I had a bone spur, and tears to my labrum and rotator cuff. Another huge disappointment, as I have finally reached my life goal of bench-pressing 400 pounds.  I live in upstate New York, so traveling to New Jersey for a doctor is a bit of an inconvenience, however, how could I not use the doctor that performed a miracle on my knee 27 years ago. Dr. Bade performed the surgery on my shoulder in April of this year, and once again, I was informed that heavy weight lifting would be out of the question. Once again, they were WRONG. After a lot of hard work, I was able to bench press 400 pounds in September of this same year and feel incredible. Dr. Bade is a miracle worker!”

“Very professional & caring.”

“Dr. Bade performed an arthroscopic surgery on my knee after I suffered cartilage damage. It had been nearly 20 years since my last surgery, which took place during my 4 years as a D1, basketball player. The results were so good that I was able to go back, against Dr. Bade's recommendation mind you, to playing basketball weekly, running long distances and hiking. I have recommended Dr. Bade many times for his excellent work and results, professionalism, and great candor.”

“Dr. Foos has been an absolute caring physician since my knee surgery. He takes his time with explaining the procedure, post-op, and office visits. I am very pleased with his services, and have referred several of my friends to him. They were completely satisfied as I was.”

“Hi Jason, I extend my thanks and appreciation to you for reaching out and discussing my shoulder problem with me. I know you are a busy guy and only know of me through Chris, but nevertheless you took the time to talk to me on three occasions without reservation. It is comforting to me that your interpretation of my shoulder situation is the same as the surgeon down here in Vero Beach. I have pretty much decided to go ahead with the reverse replacement. I know it's a big deal and I have anxiety about it but the thought of living the rest of my life as compromised as I am directs me on only one path. Again, thank you for your input. I look forward to meeting you next time I am in NJ.”
