Patient Reviews: Dr. Harry Bade

“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!”

“Very personal and attentive. Seemed to completely understand my issues and concerns.”

“Dr. Bade had done my previous shoulder surgeries and I wouldn't choose anyone else for my procedure. His compassion and caring attitude add to the experience to quell any fear or concerns you may have. The office staff is wonderful and when you go in for your appointment you are always warmly received. I would highly recommend this group to my friends and family.”

“Always treated well by staff and physicians. Not a place you want to go, however, if you need to go, there's no other orthopaedic group for our family.”

“I met Dr. Bade over15 years ago when he operated on my knee. I had previously gone for a first opinion to another orthopaedic doctor. When I explained that the other doctor wanted to realign my knee, Dr.  Bade strongly disagreed and said that I should not allow anyone to do that. He explained that the knee is like a traverse rod that runs smoothly. When you realign it, it will not run as smoothly as it should. I felt comfortable with the advise he gave me and he did my surgery soon after. Well, Dr. Bade was correct. It's been at least 15 or more years since then and I haven't had any problems since then. In recent years, I have gone to him for a hip problem and more recently, a shoulder problem. His careful examinations and correct diagnosis of my problems have been the key to my successful health outcome in each case. I have recommended Dr. Bade to many of my friends and coworkers in the Manalapan school system over the years and everyone has come back to thank me for recommending him. They all feel lucky to have found such a good and honest man as well as the best orthopaedic surgeon in our area. I might add that he never rushes you during his office visits. He takes as long as necessary to complete his diagnosis and he also takes the time to chat about life in general. I like that in a doctor. Most doctors today barely give you a chance to speak and rush you out the door. Dr. Bade is not that type of doctor. He is so respectful.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Bade since 1985 when I suffered an injury to my scapula after being hit by a motor vehicle while riding my bicycle. Since that day, I have never looked to anyone but him for all my orthopaedic needs, and there have been many. Multiple knee injuries that he surgically repaired that have allowed me to continue with the type of physical work and sports that I engage in. I am currently under his care for a major shoulder injury, and I have to say that I always have and always will have trust and faith in what he recommends. I am confident that once again, he will put me back together again so I can get back to a normal, pain free life. His surgical skills are second to none and he truly cares about his patients – always taking the time to listen and addressing any and all concerns. He surrounded himself with an unbelievable staff that also makes you feel that someone really does care, and they always will go out of their way to help you with anything that you may need. Dr. Bade & Professional Orthopaedic Associates is and always will be my only choice for any orthopaedic needs.”

“I have always had a very good experience with the doctors, staff, and physical therapy staff.”

“Last year, I saw Dr. Bade because my right shoulder was bothering me. He ordered a CT scan, and after review prescribed physical therapy. The PT made a complete difference in how I felt... Dr. Bade indicated no further action was required at that time... I was very pleased that he did NOT jump on the chance to operate... it was obvious he had MY best interest in mind. Unfortunately, I damaged the shoulder further... this time I need surgery because the rotator cuff is in fact severely damaged. I have complete confidence in Dr. Bade, and look forward to getting back to my old self again.”

“He takes all the time the world to go over you problem and the options. Easy to understand. Had one surgery and went well. Now planning the second to get me knees in good shape. Thanks.”

“I had much pain in my knee. I knew it was a meniscus problem because I had been there with my other knee. My pain management doctor did a great job sending me for an MRI... and he tried to schedule me with another doctor. The appointment they gave him was to happen in 4 weeks. Four weeks of pain and using a cane... just to see a doctor really? So, I got Dr. Bade's name from a friend. I had an appointment in less than a week.... and surgery for my two tears and a shred... the very next week.   Great to find a staff and a doctor that cares.”

“Dr. Bade and Professional Othopaedics, You really went the extra mile. Thanks! Just a small thank you for all of your exceptional care over the years and especially as I went through these tough few months. We will forever be grateful for everything that you and your office have done!”

“Wonderful care! As always, friendly staff doing their best!”

“Dr. Bade is thorough and candid in sharing results and potential treatment options. The receptionists are very helpful, and the doctor sees on or about your appointment time.”

“Dr. Bade did rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder, which turned out to be quite extensive. He has been quite honest with me about the length of recovery, but all is going according to plan. It is slow, but progressing well.”

“The exam was thorough and professional. Dr. Bade explained exactly what the problem was and gave the appropriate medication to alleviate my discomfort.”

“Everyone in this practice is wonderful! From our initial call to make an appointment, to insurance department, techs all the way to Dr. Bade we were treated as if we were the only patients in the office. I appreciate the kind hand given to my daughter and would recommend this practice to everyone!”

“I have been going to Dr. Bade since the early 1980s. I think that Dr. Bade is one of the best.”

“I always find Dr. Bade to be extremely professional and listens to my problems and always offers constructive advice.”

“Dr. Harry Bade is outstanding in so many ways. Over the years, I have had several mishaps and Dr. Bade has gotten me back into the game. I appreciate all of Harry's expertise and concern with my health. I just can't thank Harry enough. I highly recommend him!”

“I can't thank Dr. Bade enough for his professionalism as well as compassion. From my first visit, diagnosis, surgery and post-op care, Dr. Bade has been amazing. His staff is also very pleasant and helpful. I will definitely recommend Dr. Bade and his associates.”

“Everyone is so sweet and helpful. They make you feel so comfortable. Very professional!!”

“We have been patients of Dr. Bade for 21 years. He has done 6 knee surgeries and 1 hand surgery on Lou and 2 hip surgeries and 1 hand surgery on Judy. Dr. Bade is just the best – his surgical skills are unsurpassed and his manner and the time he takes to explain everything is excellent. We would  highly recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent surgeon. His office assistant, John, is also very capable, friendly and helpful. We recently had the experience to meet with and confer with Dr. Gesell and were equally impressed with him. He was also very informative and highly qualified. We would not consider going to New York or anyplace else when we have the best right here.”

“I actually damaged my shoulder several years ago, but aggravated the injury in November 2014. Dr. Bade looked at my shoulder, ordered X-rays, and an MRI, after which he sat with both my wife and me (spending an hour with us discussing options). He advised that I must perform physical therapy before he would even consider surgery (he did not jump at the chance to do surgery). I went through the PT, and unmistakably, my shoulder felt so much better. I felt so good, that I did not intend to request surgery, but unfortunately I injured the shoulder again while lifting my 95 year old mother after she had fallen. I will need to see Dr. Bade once again . . . and look for his expert advise before jumping to any 'surgery' conclusions.”

“Great doctor and great staff.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Bade since 1982 when he did a carpal tunnel operation on my right wrist. That I have been his patient for 33 years, says something about the doctor. I have also seen Dr. Johnson, who I also like.”
