  • “Awesome. I have had several knee and shoulder surgeries with Dr Foos and he was great. I play college football and owe my whole carreer to him. My experience started with the front check in desk and ended with physical therapy. They were are the best each and every time. Professional Orthopedics is the only orthopedic practice I would ever use. Thank you tro all their staff.”

  • “I've been a patient of Dr. Gentile since he opened his first practice in Toms River. Through the years, he's diagnosed & treated various ailments as well as done two surgical procedures on me. He once diagnosed broken bones in my leg that 2 emergency rooms couldn't find after being X-rayed. Dr. Gentile is a rarity in the world of medicine today. He never acts rushed or makes me feel like he's pressed for time. He actually listens with undivided attention! I've recommended Dr. Gentile to others & will continue to do so. Thank you, Dr. Gentile for your compassion & for helping me out of many painful situations!”

  • “My experience with Dr. Parker was excellent. We went over all my concerns with my MRI and spent time going over the possibility of surgery. He is a very caring doctor who does not rush and spends time with his patients.”

  • “Dr. Gentile was very informative about my surgery. He was very pleasant. I was given adequate pain relief post surgery. I started physical therapy and made progress faster than I thought I would. I would definitely recommend Dr. Gentile to anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon. I also would recommend the physical therapy associated with the practice.”

  • “I am very pleased to be writing you a second letter regarding another amazing experience at Monmouth Medical Center. Previously, in April 2016, Dr. Mark Gesell replaced my arthritic hip using robotic surgery and most recently replaced my arthritic knee similarly. Again, I had a stellar experience beginning with Pre-Admission testing (Beth, Suzanne, Doreen, Herb) leading me to the day of surgery. My first memories of post-op were spent with a caring and thoughtful Recovery Room Nurse, Joyce. She stayed with me beyond her shift and I was so grateful. Finally, my journey to the 6th floor Orthopedic Wing – what a team with an apparent committed effort focusing on me, the patient. I so appreciated the care from Nicole Wilps’ 6th floor team – Ben and Angela, my evening and daytime Nurses and Robin, the Physical Therapist. As I reflect, it appeared all was possible because of the constant articulation between the Medical Center team and Dr. Gesell’s Administrative Assistant, Amanda Aversa. She was the perfect patient advocate! I always knew I had chosen a most highly regarded surgeon, Dr. Mark Gesell, and now I also know I was privileged to spend my first healing days with my new knee at Monmouth Medical Center. ”

  • “Dr. Foos is, in my opinion, the best ortho doctor in the entire area. I live in Florida now, and I still come to NJ to see Dr. Foos if I have issues that need. He is frank, gentle, all-knowing and I trust him fully on his diagnosis of any bone pain I may have. I have been going to him for years as are my grown children and their children. Dr. Foos is my family's official "bone" doctor.”
