Patient Reviews

“To the Staff at POA, Professional Orthopaedics is, indeed, professional. All the way. 200% My journey of gratitude must begin with Roz Smith who was the first to listen and act on my agonizing complaints of excruciating pain. Thank you, Roz, for providing me with the immediate appointment that saved me from undergoing an extensive repair surgery. Next to Dr. Gabisan to whom I will forever by indebted. Thank you for your excellent expertise and for being so immediately attentive to the misdiagnosis I received at the hospital. Your compassionate, caring and unbelievable bedside manner is what I so proudly boast about whenever the opportunity arises. I can sing your praises forever and that will not be enough!! You never rush and you treat all of your patients with the utmost respect and dignity. My God Bless you 100 fold. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Christopher Johnson for his excellence in diagnosing two previous hand injuries. Your conservative approach and attentiveness will forever be appreciated. Next, a very special thank you to the physical therapy staff. Stephanie and Maria you are both amazing. Thank you so much for being so accommodating with all the scheduling issues. You are always so compassionate and kind. To Ila Fortuna, thank you for your unending patience in giving me back the use of my hands when I was not even able to tear open a packet of Splenda. Your calming and caring demeanor is what got me through so many difficult and frustrating days when I could barely hold a coffee cup or tear a check out of my checkbook! You are a loving and caring to your patients and I never stop singing your praises as well. God Bless you, Ila. And to physical therapists Cynthia Massagli and Sheela Iyer, what can I say other than I remain forever indebted for your fine expertise, unending patience and compassion. Thank you for teaching me how to walk and be mobile again after two months of being housebound. Thank you for the constant encouragement which has been crucial to my recovery. What a joy to be free finally of the scooter, walker, boo, etc. To the wonderful people at the front desk, the x-ray techs, the billing staff and everyone at POA…my deepest and most sincere thanks! Your office will forever be the choice of my family and friends who all share the same sentiments as I do. With sincere warmest regards.”

“Dr. Torpey provided me with excellent care. He diagnosed with the problem and prescribed physical therapy. My visits to Dr. Torpey have always been positive.”

“Always professional and caring. I’ve been seeing Dr. Gentile for over 20 years. I would not think of trusting another doctor.”

“Dr. Torpey was wonderful and caring. He treated my fractured leg and sent me to PT. I reluctantly went, but was so happy I did they helped me with walking better and balance! DR. Torpey listened to me and really helped me. I have already recommended him to 3 people. The office is professional and everyone is nice and helpful.”

“If you're looking for an Orthopedic Surgeon, look no further, Dr. Brian Torpey is simply the best. I cannot say enough about Dr. Torpey and his skillful, compassionate, and resourceful mindset. He is extremely intelligent, persistent, and considerate. His calm demeanor, detailed explanations, and bedside manners are superior. I never once felt the sense of discouragement in his voice. His staff is always courteous, kind, and attentive too, especially (but not limited to) LeeAnn, Janis & Maryanne. I experienced a serious injury to my shoulder, and after extensive surgery & treatment by Dr. Torpey, I'm on the road to recovery. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Dr. Brian Torpey to anyone who needs an Orthopedic Surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Torpey.”

“Dr. Gesell, From the time I called and made an appointment up until the time of surgery, I had felt support from Dr. Gesell and his staff, i.e.; Amanda Aversa, Lisa Vito, and Colleen Rackett. No question was too silly and they always made time to answer my questions. Dr. Gesell put me at ease at the first visit and my MRI revealed that I had a torn rotator cuff (in my shoulder). Dr. Gesell had me go to physical therapy first, but, the pain never subsided. It was my choice to have the surgery when I did. The entire experience went much better than I expected and having the surgery at the Surgical Center proved to be an excellent choice. The nurses were gracious and the anesthesiologist was impeccable. The entire procedure went smoothly. I had a nerve block put in before the surgery, which helped me to cope for the three days following the surgery. Recovery is a long process. There are good and bad pain days. I am having passive physical therapy now and see Dr. Gesell this Friday. Dr Gesell always stressed that recovery will take time...and patience is key. I would gladly recommend Dr "G" as a surgeon. He has definitely won me over with his skill as a surgeon and his ability to communicate to his patient and their family.”

“Dr. Parker gave a great explanation of my MRI knee results. Their office staff is highly efficient and timely.”

“Dr. Nicholson zeroed in on what was causing my pain and treated it with an injection during my visit. Injection provided immediate results. Dr. Nicholson took the necessary time to examine me and explain everything.”

“Dr. Torpey is the best! He didn’t rush me out of the office answered all my questions, and after only a few weeks I feel amazing! I will send all my friends and family here. Staff is helpful, super friendly and helped to make this experience a great one! Thanks, Dr. Torpey!”

“Dr. Gentile treated me for a broken wrist on an emergency basis. His scheduler Maryann fit me in immediately. The front desk staff and x-ray tech couldn't have been kinder or more efficient. Dr. Gentile was terrific, and I would recommend him highly. Top notch!”
