Read what our patients are saying about Professional Orthopaedic Associates.
“I have had two surgeries on my foot to repair damage from a vase that fell and severed nerves and tendons making it impossible for me to walk any distance without pain or discomfort. The first surgery was actually to repair what had been done by a previous surgery and the second was to remove numerous neuromas and provide pain relief. I can't say enough about the expert care and kindness shown by Dr. Gabisan I have referred friends to his practice as well.”

Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“My story has two parts. First, approximately 27 years ago, I was involved in an accident that required knee surgery. Dr. Bade performed surgery to reattach my ACL using two screws. While attending physical therapy, I was informed while the surgery was a huge success; I would be somewhat limited with use and range of motion in the future. I was to be out of work for six months, and I was further disappointed as I am also an avid weight lifter, and this would surely damper my workouts. How wrong the physical therapist was. I returned to work after two months, and to this day, I have full range of motion. I can do any leg exercise from squats to leg press with as much weight as I want, including several hundred pounds, I HAVE NO LIMITATIONS. Now at the age of 46, I have encountered another injury requiring surgery to my left shoulder. I had a bone spur, and tears to my labrum and rotator cuff. Another huge disappointment, as I have finally reached my life goal of bench-pressing 400 pounds. I live in upstate New York, so traveling to New Jersey for a doctor is a bit of an inconvenience, however, how could I not use the doctor that performed a miracle on my knee 27 years ago. Dr. Bade performed the surgery on my shoulder in April of this year, and once again, I was informed that heavy weight lifting would be out of the question. Once again, they were WRONG. After a lot of hard work, I was able to bench press 400 pounds in September of this same year and feel incredible. Dr. Bade is a miracle worker!”

Treating Doctor:“I've been a patient of Dr. Gentile since he opened his first practice in Toms River. Through the years, he's diagnosed & treated various ailments as well as done two surgical procedures on me. He once diagnosed broken bones in my leg that 2 emergency rooms couldn't find after being X-rayed. Dr. Gentile is a rarity in the world of medicine today. He never acts rushed or makes me feel like he's pressed for time. He actually listens with undivided attention! I've recommended Dr. Gentile to others & will continue to do so. Thank you, Dr. Gentile for your compassion & for helping me out of many painful situations!”

Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“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. ”
