Patient Reviews: Dr. Gregg Foos

“I was in pain, and Dr. Foos was great; he helps me with my anxiety and sends me to Rehab. I needed no surgery; he guided me and assured me I would get better. Four months later I am pain-free, and Dr. Foos was correct; it took a little extra time to heal, and I am all better now. The staff is excellent so happy I was able to go to POA!”

“Great experience. Friendly staff.”

“Had severe back pain due to disc herniation in my lower back couldn't walk or do much of anything for over three months. Dr. Cohen cleaned out the herniation and removed a bone spur that was on Jan. 11th. Feeling great now, I'm thrilled I had the procedure done. I feel great and am grateful for everything thanks so much!”

“Excellent as always, Dr. Torpey is the best, would go nowhere else. Thank you!”

“Great doctor and staff.”

“He was very patient and informative.”

“Only the best there is!”

“Dear Dr. Gesell, Just a short note with a huge thank you to you and all of your staff. Everything everyone said would happen, did happen, promptly and professionally. You all have changed my life for the better. Thanks again and never change what you are doing. ”

“In acute pain and without an appointment I arrived at the office the Monday after New Years Eve rather desperate for help, and gratefully, Dr. Bade saw me quickly. After an in-office X-ray, he immediately got me relief with medication and arranged an MRI and subsequent appointment with Dr. Barry Swick. Once the pain had eased I was able to go ahead with Dr. Swick who further evaluated my diagnosis with nerve testing and recommended Ron Weiss, Physical Therapist.  I am continuing with the PT, which seems to help, and will consult again with Dr. Swick for a follow-up. It is the third time I have sought help with your skilled physicians. Dr Bade surgically corrected my left, rotator cuff in 2006 (which now functions well in my busy life) and advised me how to ease a meniscus tear in 2015. In each instance I felt complete confidence in Dr. Bade's expertise and advice and thank him for his wisdom at a time I was feeling such dire stress and pain. That is when you need a hero and he came through.  So, thank you, Dr. Harry Bade and Dr. Barry Swick, for your care and professionalism, and to your kindly staff. Thank you so much.”

“Dr. Gesell helped me to feel confident about the surgeries that he would perform. He explained the surgical procedure and what I should expect after as far as mobility and pain levels as the healing time progressed. His demeanor made me feel sure that I had the correct doctor for each of my procedures. He first performed a total hip replacement which I had put off for much too long. I now have a well-performing hip that makes me feel like I have the bone of a 15-year-old. Dr. Gesell also fixed the tears in my right shoulder. He told me what to expect after the surgery and how long my recovery would take. Now I have a pain free shoulder. Dr. Gesell is also treating me for my right knee which has a tear and some arthritis. He has done two injections that have helped immensely, although I do know that somewhere down the line I will need a knee replacement, he has assured me that we can wait until that procedure is necessary for the quality of life which I do have at this point with the injections. Thank you, Dr. Gesell ”

“Dear Dr. Gabisan, Thank you for all the wonderful ways you bring health into our lives. Thank you again for all of your care for my foot and knee problems. Warm regards”

“I had a complete hip replacement, and it has worked out wonderfully. I can exercise regularly and am in as good physical condition as one half my age. I am so grateful to Dr. Gesell for my new hip and the overall quality of my life.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Foos for years and find him and the entire office staff to be above board, professional and courteous. ”

“Excellent- Dr. Foos was very understanding of my hip pain and able to explain possible causes. I appreciate his thorough yet cautionary approach to treatment. ”

“Dr. Johnson is just a consummate professional. He is knowledgeable and shows how much he cares. I’m happy my daughter was in his care. ”

“Everyone from Dr. Cohen to his entire staff is nothing but the best! Caring and compassionate and very professional. Could never go to anyone else for care for myself or my family.”

“Dr. Bade is one of the best doctors I’ve known. He takes his time and explains in detail the course of action. He’s helped my son from his hip to thigh problems. I wish I would have known Dr. Bade sooner.”

“Dr. Gesell was a personable and professional specialist. He administered injections to both knees that are still helping months later. He answered all questions thoroughly, and in a way, I could understand. I also attended his seminar at Monmouth Med and was very impressed with his presentation on knee surgery.”

“ Excellent staff Dr. Cohen is a very understanding right to the point type of doctor and a great person. ”

“Recently completed two carpel tunnel surgery's, both went well, and recovery was as described — similar experience with Dr. Saleh who repaired my torn quad previously. Very satisfied with the practice as a whole and have recommended them to family and friends.”

“Dr. Gesell has treated me for a few years due to a damaged right knee. I appreciated that he would drain the fluid and inject cortisone when the pain and swelling got too bad. He never pressured me into surgery although I needed it but was not ready for the commitment. When I finally decided on a TKR, Dr. Gesell patiently guided me through the process. I had robotic surgery on April 27th and am happy with the results of my new knee and straight leg. I still have some swelling and stiffness but am much improved from the past pain and deformity. As a mother of a Physician, I expected certain professionalism from my team and was pleased with Dr. Gesell and his staff. The office is friendly and efficient, and patients aren't required to sit and wait for hours in the waiting room. I have referred many people to Dr. Gesell and hope that he continues to stay focused on positive outcomes for his patients. ”

“Dr. Johnson has performed two surgery's on my hands. In conjunction with the related visits for these procedures, he has referred me for additional care. He is an outstanding physician and a great person. I am fortunate to have been under his care. I love the guy! ”

“I highly recommend Professional Orthopaedic Associates. The staff is accommodating, friendly and polite, and I never had to wait more than ten minutes from the time I signed to see my doctor. The doctor that treated me was Dr. Brian Torpey. He answered any questions I had about my condition and returned phone calls very promptly. ”

“Very caring and helpful staff. All was friendly. Dr. Johnson is very knowledgeable and thorough. He checked everything and gave different options for treatment. Excellent doctor!”

“We are finding out that our son had a torn ACL and a fully torn meniscus due to a football injury was quite difficult to hear. We had many questions. Dr. Bade amazing and spent quality time with us at each visit, especially after his first surgery. Dr. Bade is such a perfectionist, and the first surgery took a long time due to the meniscus continually tearing upon repair. We were tense/nervous/exhausted and he sat with us at 9:30 at night to meticulously detail the entire surgery. Post op appointment Dr. Bade showed us all the photos and again explained the whole procedure. The staff was accommodating. Fast forward to the next year - Senior year football captain - and tragedy still — the second injury just like the first. We had the same nurturing and caring experience the first go round. We are thankful that Dr. Bade was our son's surgeon.”
