Patient Reviews: Dr. Glenn Gabisan

“My first visit to Professional Orthopaedic Associates was a pleasant one.  Prompt and professional.  I did not expect such quick service, but glad I chose this practice over others in network.  Thank you.”

“I'm pleasantly surprised and I say pleasantly because I did not expect the level of satisfaction I got from this office. I'm now retired from the corporate world and I find myself complaining how offices are terribly run and how, nowadays, people just don't care-most of them want to do the minimum required and could care less if client satisfaction is being provided.  A couple of years ago, I needed a shoulder specialist and by pure luck I decided to have Dr. David Gentile look at my shoulder.  Dr. Gentile took his time to explain in details what he was going to do to solve my problem.  He operated on my right shoulder and as he predicted, my shoulder was fixed.  A year later, while teaching soccer in the community, a kid ran into me and because my bad knee did not provide me the right balance, I feel and my other shoulder now needed to be repaired.  Dr. Gentile performed the operation and again he fixed it.  I decided to have a full knee replacement and to my regret, I did not call Dr. Gentile; I let my therapist convince me to see another surgeon- a mistake I regret and I'll never forget.  I found this new office to be rude; not to care about their patients and worse yet, I found the doctor to take the "I could care less attitude."  My knee replacement was a complete failure.  The insurance company gave me the permission to see a different doctor for a second opinion and at the same time they told me a revision was being negated.  I was not going to make the same mistake and this time I called Dr. Gentile for his recommendation - he recommended Dr. Mark Gesell.  On June 24, my revision took place.  While waiting for June 24, a family member got hurt.  I asked, once again, Dr. Gentile for his advice.  He recommended Dr. Glenn Gabisan and with no hesitation we went to him.  She got her procedure done and we are both in the recovery stage.  Dr. Gentile is now a key person for me - any problems I go to him and thanks to Dr. Mark Gesell, for the first time, I feel confident my knee will be fine.   Doctors, thank you very much; thanks to all of you I feel I'll be able to enjoy a normal life.”

“Dear Dr. Gabisan, I wanted to let you know that I did make it through my granddaughter's graduation from Seton Hall on Monday. There was an enormous amount of walking to get into the IZOD center, but that was OK. Thanks for making this day possible for me! As you know, before I met you, I had surgery on my ruptured Achilles tendon and a subsequent infection. I went to FOUR other doctors that failed to diagnose and treat my problem correctly. You cleared up my condition immediately. Then you performed a miracle on my knee arthritis. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Dear Dr. Gabisan, Thank you so much for all the patience you have shown me through the painful recovery of my ankle injury. I am scared, and have a lot of questions and you have been great at putting my mind at ease. It is so nice to finally have a doctor who listens and cares about his patients. Thank you. Thank you. Hope to get to 100% soon. With appreciation.”

“Dear Dr. Gabison, I would be re-mill if I didnt express my deepest appreciation for all youve done and the very patient and professional way you dealt with me and my frustrations with the healing process. It was far longer than I expected but I am back to tennis 3x/week - no swelling! Yeah! I am also walking with no pain and no swelling. Im back and very grateful. Thank you so much!”

“Dear Dr. Gabison, I was referred to you buy the trainer at TRHS South. I have had nothing but genuine care and concern in the treatment of my daughter, Katie. Your office has been extremely professional and extremely generous, in that your group is out of network, yet you continue to work with us financially. Roseanne and John are assets there in your office as I see it!”

“Life sometimes has a funny way of teaching us or showing us things. In my case, an injury such as mine certainly made me realize how important and how blessed we are to have our health and the ability to get around. It also brought me into contact with you! While Im sure there are other doctors out there who could do the job, I have no doubt that there is only one of you- only one who not only possesses the skill and knowledge but also has the compassion and understanding to see his patients for who they are, each one unique in person as well as circumstances! Youre a great doctor and a great man! Thank you truly from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me! Like the song says you're simply the best, better than all the rest.”

“Dear Dr. Gabison, I would be re-mill if I didnt express my deepest appreciation for all youve done and the very patient and professional way you dealt with me and my frustrations with the healing process. It was far longer than I expected but I am back to tennis 3x/week - no swelling! Yeah! I am also walking with no pain and no swelling. Im back and very grateful. Thank you so much!”

“I had a fusion of my left ankle on Oct. 21, 2013. I was in a non-weight bearing cast for 6 weeks, then a weight bearing cast for 6 weeks. After that, I was able to walk with the aid of a walker, a cane, and now I do not have to use anything. I have been in physical therapy for 8 weeks. I am doing well and very happy to be without that terrible pain. I am just amazed I can peddle a bike, walk down a hill without pain, and am getting ready to dance again. I am very thankful to Dr. Gabisan and all the office people, especially Nicole and Rose Ann.”

“Professional Orthopaedic Associates and Dr. Glenn Gabisan in particular, represent what an orthopaedic practice and physician should be. He diagnosed my knee problem after reviewing x-rays and a MRI that were conveniently performed in the same building at the Tinton Falls office. The practice's policy is to use surgery as a last resort, which I truly appreciate. They try to see each patient within a reasonable time frame of the appointment, and they do not seem to overbook. The office staff and the technicians are extremely competent as well. I have recommended several other patients, including my gymnast granddaughter to this practice, and they were treated by other physicians of the practice in the same professional manor. In the future, if I or any friend or relative need orthopaedic attention, this is the practice I will use and recommend.”

“Could not believe that I broke my foot, nonetheless in three places. Dr. Gabisan took excellent care of me, and I would recommend his services to anyone. It was an absolute positive experience. Well, as good as it could be when one is casted!!”

“Excellent care and a very knowledgable physician.”

“I was experiencing considerable pain and discomfort between the 3rd and 4th toe on my left foot. I thought that I might have suffered a fracture in one of the bones in the toe or possibly the metatarsals. Upon examination, my concerns relating to a fracture were relieved, and I was made aware that I had Morton's neuroma. Dr. Gabisan explained the condition and treatment procedures. The condition took about a month to subside and I'm back to running and power walking again.”

“After about 10 years of suffering with a bad ankle and having been told by 3 doctors, specialists in the field, that nothing can be done about the fact that my leg bone sat on top of the ankle bone instead of in its socket, I found Dr. Gabisan. He performed an operation November 2013, and now I can walk without pain. Also, for the past 3 days *(beginning March 10), I have only needed 1 cane to walk instead of a walker. Thanks Dr. Gabisan and staff.  I hope you enjoyed the basket of fruit I sent to your office on Thanksgiving.”

“These guys are fantastic! Faced with a knee issue in both knees, they both took conservative measures that have bought me time from surgery. Exercise will help, and a watchful eye makes me confident that my torn meniscus will be repaired when required.”
