“Came to see Dr. Bade after an incident that happened over a year prior where I experienced a pain like no other while trying to lift heavy dresses over my head after picking up their hangers from behind. After a thorough exam it was determined that there was nothing seriously wrong (whew!) and that some light exercise would help. While other doctors might have gone for more expensive tests or physical therapy or prescription medication, Dr. Bade always takes the time to listen to me, ask additional questions, and do a thorough hands-on examination. I know I'm in good hands (literally).”

“I came to Dr. Bade for a second opinion about a shoulder problem. He took the time to educate me about my condition and lay out a plan to proceed with treatment. Dr. Bade’s vast experience and knowledge set me on the right path to recovering. I’m so thankful for him. ”

“Dear Dr. Dave, Just a quick note to thank you for assisting with my knee replacement. After your wonderful care for the past 12 years, I was just so appreciative to see your smiling face prior to going to the O.R. that morning. Tom and I knew from the beginning that you didn’t do the replacements, but you kept your word when you told me you’d do your best to help the surgeon. Dr. Gesell was a great recommendation…thank you for that as well. I feel like I’ve gotten the best of both worlds…two great surgeons and functional results! Now I have two surgeons to walk me into the future (one I consider a dear friend). Thank you again.”

“I have been a patient at Professional Orthopaedic Associates since the beginning. I was an original patient of Dr. Bade in the Long Branch office. Dr. Bade has performed three of the five surgeries on my left knee. The other two were performed out of state. Dr. Bade was consulted on both surgeries and both were performed by physicians based on his recommendations. Dr. Jason Cohen performed a C Spine disectomy on me in 2005. Over the years and various other injuries or follow-ups on existing injuries or surgeries, I have been seen by the other doctors in the group and have been very satisfied with all of them.”
