“Dear Dr. Bade, I don't know whether the greater factor in what you have done for me is your incredible generosity or your wonderful surgical skills. To suffice it to say, no one has ever given so much of themselves for me. You truly implemented as well as motivated me to change my life physically. My appreciation for all you have done will never be underestimated or forgotten. Harry, you are one of the good guys. It is truly a blessing in my life to have you in it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Treating Doctor:“I was very impressed with Dr. Foos. I was confident in his ability to perform a knee replacement surgery on me. It went well and I am on my way to a full recovery. I would highly recommend him.”
– Gail W.
Treating Doctor:“Highly recommend. The entire team is excellent. They’re professionals as the experience from start to finish was flawless. It’s a rare find when you know they care and go the extra mile to help. Doctor Nicholson is a league of his own. He took time to explain and walk me thru the next steps and timeframe. Kathy in finance is amazing. I’ve been thru a number of surgeries and health issues. I’ve never been treated so well. ”

Treating Doctor:“I actually damaged my shoulder several years ago, but aggravated the injury in November 2014. Dr. Bade looked at my shoulder, ordered X-rays, and an MRI, after which he sat with both my wife and me (spending an hour with us discussing options). He advised that I must perform physical therapy before he would even consider surgery (he did not jump at the chance to do surgery). I went through the PT, and unmistakably, my shoulder felt so much better. I felt so good, that I did not intend to request surgery, but unfortunately I injured the shoulder again while lifting my 95 year old mother after she had fallen. I will need to see Dr. Bade once again . . . and look for his expert advise before jumping to any 'surgery' conclusions.”
– Martin P.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Foos has been just fantastic! From scoping my knees to injections, and eventually to bilateral knee replacement it has been just awesome! He is not quick to jump to surgery but somewhat steady and methodical approach to getting me moving again. My husband and son have both been patients of Professional Orthopaedic Associates with the same outstanding results!”
