Patient Reviews: Dr. Christopher Johnson

“Dr. Johnson was quick to accommodate scheduling an emergency consultation and surgery for a badly injured finger, and was very forthcoming with what was his opinion and what was fact in terms of what treatment my finger required to heal as fully as possible. Although I did opt for the full treatment, he admitted that the finger would be perfectly healthy if he did a less extensive (and expensive) treatment, but it would not be nearly as aesthetically pleasing, and I appreciated his recognition of this information. Also, I was leaving the area only a week after my surgery was scheduled, yet Dr. Johnson was fully willing and capable of accommodating me and giving me all of the information I needed to be okay to travel with the injury and last until I could visit a doctor in the location I was moving to. He even knew of a good doctor in the new area that he sent my patient documents straight to so that checking in at this new doctor's office was far more painless than it would have otherwise been. Great guy and a great doctor!”

“Dr. Bade is the best Orthopedic Dr my family has ever used. His skills are amazing and his bedside manner couldn't be any better. He takes the time to explain in language I can understand. I refer everyone and anyone who is looking for an orthopedic doctor.”

“I've been a patient of Dr. Gentile for a few different issues over the years and feel that I've always received the best care available anywhere. Dr. Gentile is an excellent doctor and has always been very personable (as are the rest of the staff there). There were times where I required surgery and I'm better than I was even prior to my injuries. Friends that have had the same or similar surgeries have not done as well as I have and I attribute that to Dr. Gentile. I can't imagine ever going anywhere else if the need arises again in the future. The convenience of having X-rays and MRI's done on site is also a bonus. Many thanks to Dr. Gentile and Professional Orthopaedic Associates for the care you've provided.”

“Came to see Dr. Bade after an incident that happened over a year prior where I experienced a pain like no other while trying to lift heavy dresses over my head after picking up their hangers from behind. After a thorough exam it was determined that there was nothing seriously wrong (whew!) and that some light exercise would help.  While other doctors might have gone for more expensive tests or physical therapy or prescription medication, Dr. Bade always takes the time to listen to me, ask additional questions, and do a thorough hands-on examination. I know I'm in good hands (literally).”

“I had a fantastic experience, my knees are well again and I was treated like a family member. Dr. Johnson, you are the best!”

“I had been experiencing pain in my left knee for quite some time which was hampering me from enjoying my daily and athletic activities. Dr. Foos diagnosed my problem & began with the least invasive treatment. When this did not relieve my knee pain, he ordered an MRI which showed that I was a candidate for knee replacement surgery. I appreciate that Dr. Foos was very conservative in his diagnosis and gave me plenty of time to consider all of my options. I chose knee replacement surgery as I am a 72-year-old woman who is looking forward to maintaining a very active and athletic lifestyle. It has been two weeks since my surgery. I am attending physical therapy 3 times a week and feel that I am making good progress. I am looking forward to a full recovery. Thank you, Dr. Foos!!”

“It was a pleasant experience all around the staff explained everything and took great care.”

“My son cut his foot and fractured his toe while riding his bike. We went to the ER for treatment and followed up with Dr. Johnson. Following Dr. Johnson's instructions, He was able to continue football practice!  Thank you, Dr. Johnson!”

“Dr. Gabisan is very professional, knowledgeable and highly experienced. He is very kind and attentive to his patients' needs. I would highly recommend this fellowship trained doctor if you are considering a foot or ankle surgery.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Foos for 10 years. So far he has taken very good care of me and helped solve many of my pain issues. I will continue to see Dr. Foos in the near future.”

“Had knee replacement 4 years ago Dr. Foos told it me exactly what was gong to happen from beginning to end and boy was he right went from loving him to hating him to loving him again..... he was wonderful.... bedside manner excellent..... recommend him whenever I can he is an excellent doctor.”

“Staff delightful! Not always the case! Doctor was extremely thorough... Have sung his pauses... Saw another doctor day of injury who bordered on incompetence. Dr. G. was highly praised by a nurse friend of mine and I was most pleased!”

“This office is run the most efficient I have seen. The staff is nice, professional and courteous. I work in an office so I know how hard it is to manage and maintain this. Dr. Gesell is on the top of my list as far as doctors go. He is nice,professional and listens. He did my hip two years ago and I had no problems after surgery at all. He will be doing my knee when I decide to have it done.”

“Dr. Torpey has treated me and members of  my family for many many years. There is one word to describe him as a physician.......amazing. Well maybe some additional words....incredible caring supportive awesome compassionate professional physician. He listens, he evaluates, he recommends and guides. What more can anyone want in a physician? His surgery and aftercare is 5 star. He is the best.”

“Dr. Torpey had operated on my two daughters many years ago. When I realized that I needed knee surgery, I wanted the best orthopaedic surgeon to perform my surgery. My surgery was very successful and I had full recovery. My knee feels great. I want to thank Dr. Torpey and his staff for the outstanding and professional service I experienced.”

“Excellent physician, staff, and facility! I would highly recommend this practice!!!”

“Always very informative and listens.”

“I have been a patient since1997 when I was injured at school. I needed three surgeries, including a spinal fusion, so I have sent several doctors in the practice. The doctors are all wonderful and caring and try varied approaches to avoid surgery unless absolutely necessary. The staff is exceptional and always ready to assist. I recommend this group to everyone and sing their praises to all who listen.”

“Dr. Bade is the best!! He has helped me with his operating skills and advice over the years and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be walking without help. I totally trust him and thank him!”

“I've seen Dr. Johnson on two different occasions. He is attentive and knowledgeable. I was made to feel comfortable by Dr. Johnson and his staff. I will definitely continue to use and trust Dr. Johnson!!”

“I find Dr. Gesell to be very caring, professional, and listens to and answers all of my questions. He doesn't rush me out of the office. I am a very happy patient. Highly recommend him.”

“I've been coming here for years and have had 3 spinal surgeries and 1 wrist (Dr. Gentile who is equally amazing). The front office staff is so friendly, supportive and helpful (in all offices). Treatment team (radiology, nurses and surgical coordinators) are so efficient. They treat you like you're a celebrity. Doctors are so approachable, friendly and of course professional and very talented. When I went for a second opinion at a major teaching hospital, they wouldn't touch my back, saying that they respected Dr. Cohen's technique and wouldn't do anything different.”

“I've seen Dr. Johnson twice for the same issue. He's very conservative in treating the issue and advised further treatment as needed. I like this conservative method and am very happy with his style. He's an excellent physician and takes the time needed to evaluate his patients. I'm very satisfied!”

“Dr. Foos has performed surgery on me several times for my knee and shoulder. He and his staff have been great. If it wasn't for Dr. Foos I would not be getting ready for another season of college football.”

“Dr. Gabison and his entire team are excellent. We didn't have to wait to be seen. Dr. Gabison is so kind. His front office team as well as scheduler and insurance (Roz and Lorraine) were helpful pleasant and patient.”
