“Dr. Gesell replaced my left knee and I couldn't be more pleased. He is thorough, kind & very competent. I was only in the hospital for one night & had no pain whatsoever. I would recommend him to my family and friends. I'm a little over 8 weeks out and doing great. I've been back to pilates since week 3 and also doing therapy 3x a week. All in all, it's been a very positive experience.”

“I was having pain and experiencing increasing difficulty walking. After a consultation with Dr. Gesell, I was found to have severe arthritis in both hips. I had my right hip replaced on March 12, 2013 and my left hip on April 30. Both surgeries went very well, and I was back to work by June 3. Dr. Gesell is an excellent surgeon, and I would recommend this practice to anyone.”

Treating Doctor:“I have had good experience with all the staff. The Doctor was more than I thought I was going to get and by that I mean you do not always have a good outcome. As of today, I'm happy with how everything is going.”

“I broke my leg at 10 PM on July 12th and taken to Monmouth Medical. X-rays were taken and confirmed it was a fractured femur. Dr. Cohen saw me very soon after the x-rays, and we discussed my options. It got decided the best course would be a partial hip replacement. Since I was on Plavix, it got done the next evening. I'm happy with the operation and care I received, as there was no pain at all in the hip and there hasn't been any since. Eight months, and I can walk without any support. Did I mention that I'm 75? I would recommend Dr. Cohen.”
