“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! ”

“Dear Dr. Gesell, I have been very pleased to work with Dr. Sheela Iyer during my physical therapy sessions in May and June. She is very knowledgeable and an amazing advocate. Further, she tailored my sessions to optimize my progress. I realize all the above represent her job responsibilities yet I felt she went above and beyond each session. I am so grateful I chose Professional Orthopaedics Physical Therapy during my recovery. Also, thank you very much for my successful hip replacement surgery as well as the at-home after-care associated with the VNA. My hip is pain-free and I am thrilled.”

“Dr. Cohen and his staff are great and he did an exceptional job on my neck 2.5 years ago and my lower back in November. He's getting me back together piece by piece and I'll be back in to see him again soon.”

“My foot surgery went well. Dr. Gabisan had explained the surgical procedure and recovery time to me during the last office visit. Dr. Gabisan was very reassuring. I also found that Rosanne, the scheduler for surgeries, was very helpful. I saw Dr. Gabisan before my surgery on 2/20/17, and he went over the surgical procedure with me. Dr. Gabisan saw both my husband and myself after the surgery and discussed the initial phase of my recovery. Dr. Gabisan was very thorough, and I had a good understanding regarding this surgery.”

“I had been experiencing pain in my left knee for quite some time which was hampering me from enjoying my daily and athletic activities. Dr. Foos diagnosed my problem & began with the least invasive treatment. When this did not relieve my knee pain, he ordered an MRI which showed that I was a candidate for knee replacement surgery. I appreciate that Dr. Foos was very conservative in his diagnosis and gave me plenty of time to consider all of my options. I chose knee replacement surgery as I am a 72-year-old woman who is looking forward to maintaining a very active and athletic lifestyle. It has been two weeks since my surgery. I am attending physical therapy 3 times a week and feel that I am making good progress. I am looking forward to a full recovery. Thank you, Dr. Foos!!”
