Read what our patients are saying about Professional Orthopaedic Associates.
“I have been a patient since1997 when I was injured at school. I needed three surgeries, including a spinal fusion, so I have sent several doctors in the practice. The doctors are all wonderful and caring and try varied approaches to avoid surgery unless absolutely necessary. The staff is exceptional and always ready to assist. I recommend this group to everyone and sing their praises to all who listen.”

“Dr. Gesell is one of the most caring doctors I have ever seen. He did my knee replacement a year ago from a car accident and I would do it all over again with him. My knee is perfect with no pain and I can extend and flex with no problems. I can stand for a long time, when before, I could only stand for approximately an hour. He was very caring and he looked in on me in the hospital to make sure I was doing okay and making sure I was doing my exercises! If it wasn't for Dr. Gesell, I would still be in pain, still be frustrated, and I would still be limping or on crutches! Thanks to Dr. Gesell, I can walk now, even though I need a hip replacement.This is how caring he is, my hip is so bad, he referred me to Hospital for Special Surgery, which is where he did his fellowship, to a great doctor. Thanks to Dr. Gesell, I will be walking without any aids, like a cane or a walker. Thanks to Dr. Gesell and the very caring staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates, I can get straightened out! Thank you!”

“I'd like to comment the ENTIRE office staff, assistant, and Dr. Foos, for their compassion and professionalism. Dr. Foos performed rotator cuff surgery on my shoulder in May. I called with pain in my shoulder. Within ONE day, I had approval from insurance, MRI script faxed to radiologist, and an appointment the NEXT day! Everyone is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable ! I have been to THREE doctors in this practice, who came highly recommended by OTHER doctors, outside this practice. Great office!”

“I came to Dr. Bade for a second opinion about a shoulder problem. He took the time to educate me about my condition and lay out a plan to proceed with treatment. Dr. Bade’s vast experience and knowledge set me on the right path to recovering. I’m so thankful for him. ”

“Dr. Mark Gesell has helped me on several occasions. A fine, experienced physician and gentleman, he is also careful, patient and kind. He is cautious and does not advise unnecessary treatments. I have known him for years, because he was my student in high school. He comes from a fine family. Then, as now, I am pleased to recommend him without reservation and wish him all the best with his career.”

“Dr. Foos is, in my opinion, the best ortho doctor in the entire area. I live in Florida now, and I still come to NJ to see Dr. Foos if I have issues that need. He is frank, gentle, all-knowing and I trust him fully on his diagnosis of any bone pain I may have. I have been going to him for years as are my grown children and their children. Dr. Foos is my family's official "bone" doctor.”
