  • “Not a bad one in the bunch! I saw Dr. Gesell for knee pain. He gave me a needle which I didn't even feel a pinch. I call this my six-month lub job. Dr. Gabisan removed a bone spur above my big toe this fall. I felt like I was at a spa. I was given heated blankets and a TV in my room. The staff was excellent as was my doctor. I was back to walking my dogs in a couple of days. I didn't need pain meds but took a couple of advil. I would recommend this procedure in a heartbeat.”

  • “I had my left knee replaced by Dr. Bade, while still working as a police officer when I was 48 years old. I retired from my job two years later and was able to maintain a good lifestyle. I was playing golf, enjoying vacations, and walking normal. Most of all pain free. Several years later, Dr. Bade replaced my right knee. Recovery was much quicker and I was able to lead, what I consider, a normal life for a man in his late 50's. Two years ago, at age 63, I had my left knee redone by Dr. Bade. A knee revision. Within four months of my revision, I drove a motorcyle from New Jersey to Sturgis, South Dakota for bike week. I am able to enjoy my lifestyle, thanks to Dr. Bade. When I go to his office, we laugh at the thickness of my folder. Due to Dr. Bade, I am able to do things not only possible for a man of my age, but better than some my age that have never had my type of injuries. If I would lose the weight that Dr. Bade has asked me to, I would be even better off than I am today. I believe that thanks to Dr. Bade, the last 17 years of my life have been made better because of his procedures.”

  • “DR. Johnson is just wonderful!  My daughter, Ana, now age 8, has been a patient of Dr. Johnson's since she was 5!  For a little one, going to the Doctor isn't always the easiest experience.  However, to sum up how awesome Dr. Johnson is, my daughter, on her own had written ( at age 5 on the table paper while waiting in the examining room), "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Dr. Johnson is awesome, and Ila is, too! ( Ila, is his amazing OT).  Thank you Professional Orthopedics for your outstanding care!”

  • “Unfortunately, at work, I injured my bicep and shoulder. Luckily, I met Dr. Bade. I am not a professional athlete but need to be able to work and supply for my family, here in NJ. After surgeries, I am pain-free and ready to return to my profession. Dr. Bade explained everything that needed to occur, and he and I made that happen. If my family or friends ever have orthopedic issues, I would insist they visit Professional Orthopaedic Associates, and request Dr. Bade.”

  • “Dr. Johnson: On behalf of all parties involved, I would like to thank Dr. Johnson and the rest of his staff for helping Jordan Bell, a senior baseball player at Ocean HS, make it back to a sport he loves. Jordan is 4.5 months post op from ACL surgery. After passing functional tests and baseball drills he was cleared to play. His first games back to he went 3-for-4 with 3 doubles and a stand-up steal home on a passed ball. In his second game he went 1-for-3 with a double. To say that everyone is nothing but amazed would be an understatement.”

    – John D.

  • “Dear Doctor Gentile: Thank you for all of your help in my accident recovery efforts. I am happy with my treatments at the POA, and am grateful you performed my surgery. Your understanding of both my accident & surgery recovery processes is appreciated and has undoubtedly contributed to my progress. Many thanks for your professionalism and expertise during this challenging time for me.”
