“Dr. Gesell is just great. He took the time to carefully explain why the surgery was needed and how it would be done. Expected outcomes were also discussed. The pre-surgery program and the pre-surgery testing done at Monmouth Hospital were first rates preparing the day of surgery very easy and less stressful. Through diligent pre-surgery exercises and post-surgery physical therapy, I have had a successful outcome. I would recommend and have approved, Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Gesell to anyone in need of their services. ”

“When I saw you for my shoulder, I thanked you for not treating me like an old lady. ou said, “You did not see an old lady, you saw a person who needed relief.” When I went to a walk-in clinic, this past Sunday, the doctor saw an old lady. She diagnosed arthritis in my knee (bone on bone) because she saw an old lady. You found little arthritis. What you found was a torn meniscus. Thank you for being the kind of doctor who is not an assembly line doctor, but one who is truly interested in each of his patients’ needs. PS: I am feeling so much better!!”

“Dr. Torpey, I have not heard from you in a few years. I hope you are doing well, my parents tell me you have not changed one bit. I wanted to reach out and thank you very sincerely for the care you have given my mom while she has been dealing with her injury. On a weekly basis she has had nothing but spectacular things to say about you and your bedside manner. You inspired me to become a surgeon years ago, and you continue to impress and give me the drive to become better with each patient that I see. I cannot thank you enough for the attention you have paid my family, we are lucky to have you caring for us. Happy holidays! Sincerely, Anthony”

“Several members of my family have had to see Dr. Johnson for a variety of injuries. He performed surgery on my hand many years ago. He recently accepted me as a patient once again after having emergency surgery on my arm while on vacation in another state. He takes his time with you, is thorough, easy to talk to and explains everything clearly. The patient's welfare always comes first. The staff is friendly and very accommodating.”

“Dear Dr. Bade, I wanted to thank you from my heart in regards to seeing me and having an MRI done this past Monday. I am happy with the positive news that surgery is not necessary. If I had to get surgery, I thought at least, I’d get the really cool Harry Bade “HB” magic marker signature on my knee like my son did. Thank you for your outstanding skill and kindness. ”

“After several months of living with pain. After seeing a chiropractor, having physical therapy, and trying acupuncture, nothing was helping. I sought care from Dr. Cohen. I couldn't look up, down, or to the side. After MRI, Dr. Cohen determined I had three herniated discs, and I could try epidural shots, but that would only be a temporary band-aid. He recommended that I needed surgery to repair three discs in my neck. He would insert a plate and screws. He took the time along with Adrienne his nurse (which seems to be his right-hand person) to explain in detail what I would experience before, during, and after surgery. Dr. Cohen explained to my husband after surgery that he couldn't believe how much pain I was tolerating. I was bone on bone. After surgery, it was a rough week; each day got better. I'm here one year later, pain-free, complete range of motion, working out five times a week and feel great. I owe all of it to Dr. Cohen. I feel like he saved me. ”

“Dr. Gesell is amazing. So competent and professional. He did a total knee replacement for me, and it went flawlessly. And he was very patient and explained everything thoroughly in our follow up visits. His expertise transformed my life from being almost crippled to walking 4 miles a day again only six weeks after surgery.”

“ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Cohen, Adrienne, and the whole staff. I walked in there the first time terrified and in a lot of pain. Dr. Cohen diagnosed my problem and explained why I needed neck surgery. He and Adrienne answered all my questions. The results after the operation were excellent and the follow-up care was great as well. I have been pain-free ever since. ”
