Read what our patients are saying about Professional Orthopaedic Associates.
“I have also treated with Dr. Gentile and Dr. Gesell. Not only are these doctors knowledgable they are all very caring doctors. If there was ever a question you always were able to discuss it with them. They were always available to discuss an issue or resolve a problem or just to give you a hug. They are not only doctors but all are very caring people which now a days is very rare. Thank you, Dr. Gentile, Dr. Cohen and Dr. Gesell for your help in treating me with my problems but also being there at some of my darkest times. Also I like to say thank you to the staff who are also professional caring and compassionate people but always returned your call or followed up with any questions. They are truly an asset to this facility. Thank you all for always making your patients feel kind they are human beings.”

Treating Doctor:“I was delighted with every step of the process. All pre-op questions got answered clearly and patiently. The operation went flawlessly, and I walked around my block two days after the procedure. Post-operative pain was minimal, and I was soon able to do things I hadn't done in years. It felt like I'd gotten a big part of my life back. This experience was pretty much identical to the one I'd had the previous year with Dr. Gesell when he replaced my other knee. Thank you so much, Dr. Gesell.”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Torpey, I have not heard from you in a few years. I hope you are doing well, my parents tell me you have not changed one bit. I wanted to reach out and thank you very sincerely for the care you have given my mom while she has been dealing with her injury. On a weekly basis she has had nothing but spectacular things to say about you and your bedside manner. You inspired me to become a surgeon years ago, and you continue to impress and give me the drive to become better with each patient that I see. I cannot thank you enough for the attention you have paid my family, we are lucky to have you caring for us. Happy holidays! Sincerely, Anthony”

Treating Doctor:“Had debilitating leg pain due to a ruptured disk in L4/L5 region. As a tennis professional and recreational runner, my life as I knew it was over. Dr. Cohen performed surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve causing the leg and foot pain. I was able to resume running within a few weeks and actually ran a 2:58 at the Chicago Marathon later that year, along with a personal best of 2:55 at Boston a few months after. Thank you Dr. Cohen. Without you, my running days would have been over!”
