Patient Reviews

“Dr. Gesell and his staff were professional and patiently answered all of my questions. I am 115 days post surgery with and I am pleased with the results. I am able to walk downstairs without taking them one at a time. Dr. Gesell operated with a robot assist and used glue instead of staples on closing the surgical wound which made for a simple, tasteful scar. I was nervous about the surgery but my fears were put to rest and I'm happy that I decided to have it. Luckily I only needed one knee replaced but I would definitely use Dr. Gesell again should I need to replace the other knee in the future. The staff at the group is warm and efficient and I never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be seen. Overall this was a positive experience and I would recommend Dr. Gesell to anyone in need of a new knee. ”

“Dr. Gesell is just great. He took the time to carefully explain why the surgery was needed and how it would be done. Expected outcomes were also discussed. The pre-surgery program and the pre-surgery testing done at Monmouth Hospital were first rates preparing the day of surgery very easy and less stressful. Through diligent pre-surgery exercises and post-surgery physical therapy, I have had a successful outcome. I would recommend and have approved, Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Gesell to anyone in need of their services. ”

“The proof is in the video of me skiing- spinal fusion works! Dr. Cohen, thank you so much! In June, I couldn't walk, then I had my surgery. In July I rode my bike 20 miles after spinal surgery. By Labor day, I jogged a half mile. In September I was able to jog to a run at least two miles and I was swimming every other day. I started back skiing in December and I was able to be aggressive right from the get-go, powder skiing most of the winter, then onto being aggressive in the bumps, but slow! The biggest believer out there is me!!”

“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!”

“Words cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Jason Cohen. I was in excruciating back pain because of a herniated disc and very nervous about getting surgery. The only thing I could do without pain was lie flat or stand straight. Any sitting , bending, sneezing, etc was intense pain. Dr. Cohen got me in right away, his team got me an MRI that same day and he explained the procedure to me and told me that he could get me out of pain. I trusted him and his team and they did just that! In a very short time frame, I was back to paddleboarding, yardwork, yoga and beach volleyball. NO Restrictions!! I got my life back, pain free!! The other HUGE component was that his team verified my insurance for me (something you really don't feel like doing when you are in that much pain) and there was very little out of pocket expense! Life is too short to be in pain when you have a surgeon like Dr. Cohen around. He's the best!!! Feel so blessed. Thanks again Dr. Cohen!!!”

“I found your office to be the most organized and well managed medical facility I have ever experienced.”

“Had been to another doctor from a huge local practice a few days prior. What a world of difference! Dr. Gabisan actually greeted me and asked me questions re: how I had  broken both of my ankles. Then, amazingly enough, he actually touched my foot and also asked me if I could wiggle my toes! He explained that I would have more bleeding and not to be concerned. He also told me to take aspirin to lessen the possibility of blood clots. I couldn't have been more pleased with his professionalism and his excellent care. The previous doctor couldn't get out of the room quickly enough!”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Bade since 1982 when he did a carpal tunnel operation on my right wrist. That I have been his patient for 33 years, says something about the doctor. I have also seen Dr. Johnson, who I also like.”

“When I first moved here from northern NJ, I had to find an orthopedic doctor. I googled "orthopedic doctors in Ocean County," and read patient reviews. I selected POA due to the discussions and T.R. location. Dr. Bade has been my doctor since then. He is a kind, careful, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and takes his time to explain all to me and gives excellent advice too — one of my favorite doctors since moving.”

“All staff and Dr. Gabisan are the best.”
