Patient Reviews

“Mom knows best - Following my Rotator Cuff injury - my first phone call was to my Mom - a career rehabilitation nurse who works on catastrophic case files - the only name she gave me was Dr. Gentile at Professional Orthopaedic Associates - I'm soo glad I listened - following a successful surgery and successful physical therapy - I was back to playing golf and maintaining my 4 handicap in only 5 months - Thank you Dr. Gentile.”

“Dr. Torpey, I would like to take this time to thank you for the care and treatment you provided for my daughter, Carly. I appreciate the quick and accurate diagnosis, especially since Carly had been "shopping" around for ten months hoping someone would correctly diagnosis her problem. It was extremely frustrating for her to continually explain her symptoms and have spent over four months in PT without any improvement. Also, thank you for moving up her second surgery. There is never a good time for surgery, but as a parent, knowing her medical insurance expired the end of August made things a little uneasy. (After her first surgery, and before knowing you were able to move up her second procedure, I extended her insurance until the end of October). In addition, I knew her time in New Jersey was probably limited. As you have seen, she is doing fantastic during her recovery and rehab is going absolutely great! Hopefully she'll land a job and get back to her running soon!”

“My foot surgery went well. Dr. Gabisan had explained the surgical procedure and recovery time to me during the last office visit. Dr. Gabisan was very reassuring. I also found that Rosanne, the scheduler for surgeries, was very helpful. I saw Dr. Gabisan before my surgery on 2/20/17, and he went over the surgical procedure with me. Dr. Gabisan saw both my husband and myself after the surgery and discussed the initial phase of my recovery. Dr. Gabisan was very thorough, and I had a good understanding regarding this surgery.”

“Dr. Parker is very professional. It was an overall positive experience.”

“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.”

“Short wait times and everything is explained in terms understand. Very clean and professional.”

“I came to see Dr. Gentile with two hand problems, right thumb and left middle finger. My first appointment was a shot to see if the problem would resolve. My second appointment was to decide if I needed the middle finger surgically fixed. Dr. Gentile made the decision easy for me, explained the procedure thoroughly and assured me the outcome would be a fixed finger. The scheduling was smooth, the nursing staff was great, and the office help were efficient. They remembered my name, which was essential to me. All in all, a very positive experience. ”

“Everything with Dr. Nicholson was great.”

“My experience with Professional Orthopaedic Associates, and Dr. Brian Torpey, has been outstanding in every phase. The initial visit and diagnosis was thorough, thoughtful, and presented with a plan that gave me confidence in all phases to come. The surgery, and follow up care has followed the same pattern. My recovery has been progressing superbly under Dr. Nancy Allario, and the follow-up visits to Dr. Torpey have given me an outlook to a full return to my sporting interests. The staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates has been warm and helpful through all of the phases of my time interacting with them. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone seeking the knowledge and expertise necessary in dealing with issues related to this type of practice. Thank you to all of you for helping me.”

“Dr. Cohen is a great doctor and always takes the time to listen to you and address any issues. I would and have highly recommended him and this office to people.”
