“Enjoyable experience with Dr. Bade. His professional and caring staff. Hip surgery went very well because of this great team. Thank you.”

Treating Doctor:“ Dr. Bade is simply the best. He explains every detail of my surgery and answers every question I might have. Dr. Bade never rushes to leave the examining room. He is everything a doctor should be and more. ”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Nicholson was great. He was available for questions, usually got back to me within the hour, was excellent at communicating what I needed to do post-surgery, and recommended an extremely qualified therapist.”
– Larry T.
Treating Doctor:“Even though I came into the office in a lot of pain, my experience was awesome. Doctor Nicholson was very knowledgeable of my injury, which made me feel very comfortable.”
– Keith G.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Cohen did my back surgery. I had a pinched nerve and some disc problems which was causing extreme pain to my left leg. Surgery went very well! Shortly after back surgery, while recovering at home, I fell and broke my wrist. Dr. Johnson did my wrist surgery. Surgery went very well! Happy to say I am back to life as normal with no pain.”
– Linda H.
Treating Doctor:“My daughter Angela is a high school soccer player. She injured both ACLs (plus her meniscus and MCL) in a nine-month span. We, as a family, were so distraught after her first injury. Angela was assured by Dr. Torpey that she would be back on the playing field, but I don't think she really believed it would happen. Sure enough she had a remarkable recovery and was back practicing within five months! But after her second injury, she didn't even want to think about playing soccer again. Dr. Torpey made her feel confident from her visit with him that everything would be okay. He just has a calming, yet "upbeat" way about him. As parents we were so scared at the thought of Angela needing surgery and complications that could accompany it. Dr. Torpey gained our trust and confidence in no time. We were not intimidated discussing our smallest concerns. We never at any moment felt like we were being rushed out of the office because he had other patients to attend to. We often feel like that with other practices. The few times we had to call during off hours, we immediately received a return phone call. We also received phone calls from Dr. Torpey himself just to see how she was doing. We felt like we knew him for a very long time. Anytime someone gets hurt, "Go see Dr. Torpey" are the first words out of Angelas mouth, followed by "He is amazing."”
– M. Colletti
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gesell is a great doctor. His competence and professionalism are the reason my surgery was so successful, and my recovery was so easy and quick. I would recommend him to others without hesitation.”
– Gloria E.
Treating Doctor:“I just recently had full hip replacement surgery. Before the surgery, all pre-surgery visits were thorough and professional. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the office is pleasantly decorated.”
– Kathy B.
Treating Doctor:“Everyone did a great job. Staff was pleasant and informative. I would highly recommend it.”
– Victor P.
Treating Doctor:“I had gone to another physician before seeing Dr. Gabisan, and he told me right away that I would most likely have to go for surgery before even seeing the MRI. Dr. Gabisan said I did not have to have surgery after seeing the MRI and just had me wear a boot and within about 5 months I was healed. He was a very calming and relaxed doctor which made me feel very comfortable.”
