Treating Doctor:“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! ”

Treating Doctor:“Dear Dr. Torpey, Sept. 21 was my one year anniversary since I had a major shoulder rotator cuff surgery. I just want to thank you for being an amazing doctor! Now, a year later, at age 41, weight 162 pounds, I’m back to crossfit and Jiu Jitsu. I couldn’t be happier with my results and I keep getting stronger and training harder than yesterday!! ”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Bade has treated me for several different issues including surgery to both shoulders; this last issue is a torn meniscus that I need to have repaired.

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.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gentile first saw me a few days after my fall and explained through your what XRAYs and testing showed. He explained fully the option of the surgery to reattach the quad to the knee. 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.
Treating Doctor:“This was my 3rd surgery with Dr. Foos. As usual, Dr. Foos was great and the whole process was quick, efficient and virtually pain-free. I was back on court playing tennis in 6 weeks.”
