“I have been a patient of Dr. Foos for over 10 years. He performed surgery on both my shoulder and knee. I have found him to be a true professional. He has been both conservative and informative with my treatment. I will continue to see him with any other orthopaedic issues.”

– Diane H.
Treating Doctor:“"Dr. Torpey has given me back my mobility and my quality of life twice. Twenty years ago he did bilateral total hip replacement surgery. Nearly five years ago, he did bilateral total knee replacement. Both sets of surgery went extremely well. I have recommended Dr. Torpey to a number of people over the years and will continue to do so. I have always been pleased the care I received. The office staff is some of the best I have ever dealt with, they are always extremely helpful and professional." -- Karen C. ”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gesell replaced my left knee and I couldn't be more pleased. He is thorough, kind & very competent. I was only in the hospital for one night & had no pain whatsoever. I would recommend him to my family and friends. I'm a little over 8 weeks out and doing great. I've been back to pilates since week 3 and also doing therapy 3x a week. All in all, it's been a very positive experience.”
– Ann W.
Treating Doctor:“Dear Dr. Foos, Here I am with two knees, and I want to thank you for giving me back my life. When I first came to see you, I was in so much pain. Today I feel like a new person and I am finally pain-free. Through it all, you always explained things so that I knew what would happen as well as how and why. You patiently and thoughtfully answered all my questions, even those some might consider silly (zumba and zip lines). You have an incredible staff. They have always been so nice to me. Your assistant, Jennifer, is amazing. She has traveled this journey with me, answering every phone call, every question, every fear I had, always so professional and compassionate. Then there's Laurie, the first person I would see at the reception desk; Colleen, Anthony, and John, who would bring me back to one of the exam rooms or take me for x-rays; Clarinda, who I would see on my way out and make my next appointment; Justine, who gave me those reminder calls. And then, physical therapy -- Tracy is the first person I spoke with at POA PT, and she was so kind and caring; Sheela is an incredible physical therapist and did wonders. And then there is you, Dr. Foos. Thanks to your great surgical skills and knowledge and compassion, you have brought me through this journey. I never thought I would be able to walk and run without pain again, but here I am. THANK YOU!”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Torpey has performed three surgical procedures on me. I have been to many different doctors but have never been more satisfied than with him. He is always very professional. He explains the details in a manner that helps me get a better understanding of what is being done. My results have been great. I can only hope I never have to see him again, but have and will continue to recommend him as much as possible.”
– John T.
Treating Doctor:“Very professional while very personable.”
– Angela P.
