  • “I initially chose your practice because of your sports medicine ads. I had a severe knee injury from a skiing mishap. Dr.Torpey was excellent. I made a full recovery. I was very interested in regaining an active lifestyle, not just walking without a limp. Success! I also appreciated not hearing, "Well, you know you are getting older...." Thank you! ”

  • “Dear Dr. Gabisan, Thank you so much for all the patience you have shown me through the painful recovery of my ankle injury. I am scared, and have a lot of questions and you have been great at putting my mind at ease. It is so nice to finally have a doctor who listens and cares about his patients. Thank you. Thank you. Hope to get to 100% soon. With appreciation.”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “I have been a patient of POA for many years. This was my first experience with Dr. Plyler. I found Dr. Plyler to be great. He made me feel most comfortable. He took his time with me and answered all my questions and my wife’s, who was on a conference call due to COVID. I found him to be most compassionate and understanding of my concerns. I feel Dr. Plyler is a definite asset to the practice and will recommend him and POA to all my friends. ”

    – Samuel R.

After the surgery he was very patient and understanding throughout the recovery period to date. WILL CONTINUE THERAPY AND BE BACK IN 6 WEEKS .”

    – John R.
