Patient Video Reviews

  • “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! ”

  • “Dr. Johnson: On behalf of all parties involved, I would like to thank Dr. Johnson and the rest of his staff for helping Jordan Bell, a senior baseball player at Ocean HS, make it back to a sport he loves. Jordan is 4.5 months post op from ACL surgery. After passing functional tests and baseball drills he was cleared to play. His first games back to he went 3-for-4 with 3 doubles and a stand-up steal home on a passed ball. In his second game he went 1-for-3 with a double. To say that everyone is nothing but amazed would be an understatement.”

  • “Dr. Foos has been just fantastic! From scoping my knees to injections, and eventually to bilateral knee replacement it has been just awesome! He is not quick to jump to surgery but somewhat steady and methodical approach to getting me moving again. My husband and son have both been patients of Professional Orthopaedic Associates with the same outstanding results!”

  • “Dr. Bade is a meticulous surgeon whose skills are hard to duplicate. Prior to my hand surgery his explanation of the process was so thorough and complete that he even pulled out a surgical textbook to show me illustrations of what he was going to do. I have thorough and total confidence in Dr. Bade. When the time comes for knee replacement I do not plan to consult any other surgeon. His widespread experience and calm demeanor helps in large measure to assuage patient fears. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
