Patient Reviews

“I am a 49 year old ex-professional hockey player who had MAKO knee surgery with Dr. Bade and Dr. Gesell.  Prior to the surgery, I could barely walk. The pain in my knee was overwhelming to the point that I was having a hard time performing the more physical aspects of my job (I am a hockey director and coach) and I was unable to participate in my favorite past-time activity, golf. I had a partial knee replacement via MAKO surgery the morning of January 30, 2015, and by the same afternoon, I was up and taking steps with a walker. I had very little discomfort even directly after the procedure; I never even filled the pain medication prescription I was given, I just used over-the-counter ibuprofren, which controlled any discomfort. I followed the recommended course of physical therapy and quickly progressed to normal function. In early March (five weeks post-surgery), I was back on the ice, skating. Two months post surgery, I was back on the golf course. Today, I am three months post surgery and I feel great. I have no limitations and I am functioning at full capacity. I would highly recommend these doctors and this procedure to anyone who is a candidate for it. Dr. Bade and Dr. Gesell are outstanding surgeons and I am grateful for their meticulous care.”

“Dear Dr. Gabison, I would be re-mill if I didnt express my deepest appreciation for all youve done and the very patient and professional way you dealt with me and my frustrations with the healing process. It was far longer than I expected but I am back to tennis 3x/week - no swelling! Yeah! I am also walking with no pain and no swelling. Im back and very grateful. Thank you so much!”

“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.”

“This has been my third procedure with Dr. Torpey. He has done work on both of my knees with great success. This summer after experiencing an accident in the gym I needed more urgent attention to my injured shoulder. I initially attempted to contact a surgeon that I had previously used for another shoulder injury. His office was not very helpful under the circumstances. I then contacted your office. I spoke with Dr. Torpey's staff explained my situation. They got me in to see him that Wednesday. I had surgery the following week and have since recovered very well. I have recommended Dr. Torpey in the past and will continue in the future.”

“Perfect. No other doctor will I see. Been a patient for over ten years. Will go to no other doctor.”

“My experience with this doctor and staff was just outstanding. They are true professionals yet caring and helpful! ”

“Dr. Giliberti was very thorough - listened, asked questions, and explained the plan of treatment. ”

“Excellent communication, great experience, great team, great results! Hiking six weeks after my total knee with Dr. Foos. Thank you.”

“I am one hundred percent cent satisfied with my surgery and all prior and post services. Dr. Gentile spent more time than any other doctor has, answering all of my questions and concerns. He even spent time looking at x rays and my mri from another injury. Then he gave me options and the names of five other doctors that could assist me with this problem. I have now had three surgeries at Professional Orthopedics. Each was a success and a great experience. ”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Gabisan professionally and as a patient. I have the ultimate respect and admiration for him and his staff. They are indeed the dream team of orthopedics. My result has been fabulous and I could not be more pleased.”
