“Had a broken bone in my arm for a month. Had seen another doctor who said it was arthritis. Dr. Bade scheduled surgery within two days. His gentle approach and kindness to me was very much appreciated . It was wonderful to have a professional with such sensitivity perform the surgery. His follow-up assured me that my arm and shoulder would return to normal. In my opinion Dr. Bade rates the highest grade.”

“From the first visit to the last, Dr. Foos and his staff was first class all the way. A month after my knee surgery, I was able to ski like I was 17 again. I had my other knee worked on by another practice, and the experience was far superior with Dr. Foos. Thanks doc!”

“About 3 and a half years ago my hip began hurting me. I first went to see Dr. Bade who quickly recommended that I see the hip surgeon Dr. Torpey. Unfortunately, it turned out that I had a torn labrum. In order for the pain to go away and the situation not to get any worse he recommended that I get surgery. Needless to say, it was a complete success. It's been over a year now and I feel stronger than ever. I lift heavy weights, go rock climbing, run and do what ever I like without hesitation. The whole process with Dr. Torpey was easy, clear and I felt like I was in good hands. Thank you so much!”

“Dr. Torpey came highly recommended, and for a good reason. The right mix of personable and professional, he quickly diagnosed the problem and laid out a timeline from surgery to full recovery. If I am ever in need of orthopedic surgery again, I will not hesitate to go back to Dr. Torpey for a second.”

“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.”
– Frederick S.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Cohen cares about his patients; he didn't rush through my appointment as other doctors do. He has given me the time to heal correctly also.”
