“Dr. Parker and the staff are very professional.”
– Mary T.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gabisan is kind and very caring. He sees his patients on time and never rushes when he is with them. He truly cares about his patients.”
– Sandi B.
Treating Doctor:“Not a bad one in the bunch! I saw Dr. Gesell for knee pain. He gave me a needle which I didn't even feel a pinch. I call this my six-month lub job. Dr. Gabisan removed a bone spur above my big toe this fall. I felt like I was at a spa. I was given heated blankets and a TV in my room. The staff was excellent as was my doctor. I was back to walking my dogs in a couple of days. I didn't need pain meds but took a couple of advil. I would recommend this procedure in a heartbeat.”
– Marianne C.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gabisan is an excellent doctor. He is compassionate and takes his time with you. He explains your issues in an understanding and transparent manner. He then advises you on the best course of action, but the decision is yours to make. I have recommended a few people to him, and they have been very pleased with him. ”
– Sandra C.
Treating Doctor:“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.”
– Kathy R.
Treating Doctor:“My mom had hip surgery in 1995 with Dr. Torpey. He was wonderful and she loved him. I had elbow and shoulder surgery in 1998 and 1999. Between the extensive rehabilitation and challenges of getting back to work, Dr. Torpey was a constellation of excellence and compassion. He always took the time to listen with empathy, be supportive, and provide the best care. He is a rare find. I have referred several friends to him, and he has made them better. He is my all time favorite orthopaedic surgeon!”
– Ellen W.
Treating Doctor:“Dr Foos' care, prior to, during, and after my knee replacement surgery, was exceptional. I was a success story thanks to him. Now pain-free after years of discomfort evolving into chronic pain and instability of the point, I'm now able to resume all activities pain-free! Many thanks for the terrific care.”
– David N.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Foos performed a comfortable, successful arthroscopy on me on February 19th. My full “recovery” accomplished within less than two weeks without pain meds or crutches-immediate weight bearing and a 1-mile walk inside of two weeks. Perfect outcome!”
– David N.
Treating Doctor:“Always treated well by staff and physicians. Not a place you want to go, however, if you need to go, there's no other orthopaedic group for our family.”
– Kathi E.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gesell recommended that I have knee replacement surgery to alleviate the pain in my knee. The Office staff set up all of my appointments for me at Monmouth Medical Center. I arrived at the hospital on the morning of the surgery, and the check-in was speedy. Dr. Gesell operated using the Mako robot. The surgery went well, and I don't remember a thing until I woke up. The Nurses and Residents at the hospital were all very attentive and professional. They got me up to walk right after the surgery, and I went home the next day. My recovery was speedy, and I was walking around the house with just the aid of a cane by the end of the first week. If I had known the recovery was going to be so quick, I would have done this a long time ago. My knee is so much more stable now without that grinding pain. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gesell and his whole team! ”
