Patient Reviews

“This past February I started to develop pain in the back of my shoulder that just wouldn't go away. well, after several visits to the Chiropractor with no results and now numbness and pain setting in on my arm and fingers it was suggested that I might have a neck problem which was clearly evident in the MRI. I had a severe herniation of the disc between C6 and C7. After meeting with Dr. Cohen it became clear that the surgery was a real possibility to eliminate my chronic symptoms. we tried two epidural injections that unfortunately didn't work so surgery became the solution on July 15th. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. in the past, I've had a few minor orthopedic surgeries and never gave it a thought but when you're dealing with the spinal cord, neck and nerves, you start to think. Dr. Cohen took the time to explain the procedure in great detail with all the options available and after much consideration chose a procedure know as ACDF. I remember waking up in the recovery room after surgery completely pain free in my arm and hand with very little discomfort relating to the surgery. I was home within 24 hours and walking outside within a day, walking 4 miles per day within two weeks. I'm now going on my third week back to doing things I never thought would be possible so soon after surgery. I can thank Dr. Cohen and his staff for providing the best attention, care and treatment. It really made the difference and I will always be grateful to Dr. Cohen for his personal attention and outstanding bedside manner.”

“Just a quick note to thank you and your "hands" for the expert injections last week! My right knee feels very good and my miserable left knee is good enough to let me go on vacation. Thank you.  ”

“Dr. Chris Johnson is a wonderful doctor and person. When I had my bi-lateral carpal tunnel surgery and trigger finger surgery he called me himself to see how I was doing. He is a very caring, compassionate, individual. Also, when I had problems with my shoulder he gave me a steroid injection he was very honest with me before administering the injection and very caring as well. I will always see Dr. Johnson if I have further needs with my hands, fingers or shoulders. Thank you.”

“Very personable and able to diagnose quickly.”

“Had been to another doctor from a huge local practice a few days prior. What a world of difference! Dr. Gabisan actually greeted me and asked me questions re: how I had  broken both of my ankles. Then, amazingly enough, he actually touched my foot and also asked me if I could wiggle my toes! He explained that I would have more bleeding and not to be concerned. He also told me to take aspirin to lessen the possibility of blood clots. I couldn't have been more pleased with his professionalism and his excellent care. The previous doctor couldn't get out of the room quickly enough!”

“Dr. Plyler gave me confidence in his diagnosis and treatment by listening, looking at x-rays, and clear directness.”

“Excellent care!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Gabisan professionally and as a patient. I have the ultimate respect and admiration for him and his staff. They are indeed the dream team of orthopedics. My result has been fabulous and I could not be more pleased.”

“Had TKR and from A - Z things were top notch. I have been a patient of Dr. Bade since 1983 he has performed several surgeries on me, and I have never been unsatisfied with him and his entire team. ”

“I have been coming to Professional Orthopaedic Associates for several years and have had a great experience with every doctor I have worked with, especially Dr. Torpey. They are very professional, cordial, and make every experience a great one. They always explain what procedure will be done, and how everything will play out to follow, making me very comfortable with the environment and situations.”
