“Came in with inflamed golfers elbow. Thought it would cost me the season. Dr. Johnson got me back feeling good in a month! Don't know if it was the meds, stretching and strengthening exercises, or both, but I'm back! Thank you!”

“Dr. Gesell. I am fortunate to have a great doctor like you take care of me with my full knee replacement. I was back to work and driving in three weeks! Best of all, the horrible pain I had before the operation is gone.”

“The entire "surgical process" was extremely pleasant. From meeting with you, to the staff at the facility, and the facility itself - it was all a very pleasant experience. This was the third time Dr. Gentile operated on my hands and I continue to have the utmost confidence in his skills. Please thank everyone for me!”

“Dr. Torpey, Hope all is well with you! I wanted to get in touch with you to give you a little update and let you know how I’m doing. Working with Drew and Basil has been fantastic to say the least. Turns out I had a lot of muscle imbalances that went unaddressed. They taught me so much and have helped me with the majority of my issues. It’s amazing how quickly the sensation I was feeling of an overly tight anterior capsule disappeared as my imbalances were corrected. I still have a fair amount of work to do, but finally seeing real substantial progress has me very optimistic for the future. I even started lightly working out again. My shoulders feel much more symmetrical and my exercises feel normal again. Things are finally starting to look up for me and I couldn’t be happier. I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I’m sure I drove you crazy with all my questions and concerns, but what meant the most to me is that you always listened and never once made me feel stupid for asking them. I saw many doctors for my shoulder and can honestly say none of them made me truly believe that I was in the right hands the way you did. Your bedside manner and kindness were second to none and your upstanding character is one all doctors should strive to possess. Because of you, I am finally able to start living a normal, pain-free life again for the first time in over two years and I can’t thank you enough for that. It gives me comfort knowing that there is a doctor like you out there who can help the unique cases like mine, no matter how crazy the person may come off or how many questions they ask! Thanks for always listening and for everything you’ve done for me. I hope to never run into any more problems, but if I do I’ve got your number on speed-dial! Thanks again for everything Dr. Torpey,”

“I am moved to write to you today because you have helped me in the past and certainly with my most current situation. Dr. Johnson is the “ultimate diagnostician” and I was, am and will be always confident that he can help me. Jessica was most accommodating in getting me into the office. The staff has always been most professional, pleasant and welcoming to patients! (You are the face of the practice and congratulations to you all!) Thank you, thank you for helping me with two months of pain that hopefully will improve in the future. You are all very wonderful.”

“This was the best experience I have ever had dealing with a medical professional. The office was SUPER efficient and proactive in helping me get all necessary paperwork and tests prior to a short notice surgery. Dr. Bade explained everything on my initial visit and the follow up visits were informative and he spends time talking about your concerns and strategy for healing. I already recommended a coworker to this practice and I was also a referral from my marathon running/cycling in laws who only spoke highly of Dr. Bade and group.”

“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.”
– Margaret H.

“Outstanding on knee surgery. Thank you Doctor Torpey.”
– Vincent P.
Patient Rating:
“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.”
