“I first met Dr. Gentile in the spring for a jammed finger I incurred playing volleyball with my grandson. Dr. Gentile was great, and in no time I was feeling better. A few months later I experienced shoulder pain, an entirely new problem. Appointment with Dr. Gentile, diagnosed a rotator cuff tear off to PT for awhile it was improving then it went wrong, and I could not move my arm. Surgery scheduled. I was nervous 70+ years young rotator cuff surgery could be a robust recovery. Surgery went well pretty extensive repair needed many anchors to put me back together — pain minimal back to Yoga classes before I knew it. Just two weeks ago I experienced a severe fall I landed on my elbow resulting in a fracture to my left elbow -dislocation to the radial head, pain pretty severe. Dr. Gentile explained my course to treat would have to be a replacement of the fx bone. Surgery scheduled soonest and I am currently six days post op. Dr. Gentile has Golden Hands, no postoperative pain. I know I have a way to go with PT, but with Dr Gentile in my corner I am in the best hands. Professional Orthopedics from the first phone call to discharge superior care! I am so happy every day that I found this dedicated ,talented surgeon.”

“I was delighted with every step of the process. All pre-op questions got answered clearly and patiently. The operation went flawlessly, and I walked around my block two days after the procedure. Post-operative pain was minimal, and I was soon able to do things I hadn't done in years. It felt like I'd gotten a big part of my life back. This experience was pretty much identical to the one I'd had the previous year with Dr. Gesell when he replaced my other knee. Thank you so much, Dr. Gesell.”

“Dr. Foos and his staff treated me with the personal care you sometimes do not get in the medical field any longer. Dr. Foos took the time to sit and speak to me not only about my injury but also about my medical history. He developed a plan for me and gave me all of my options for care and treatment and the choice was mine. It was not just a "lets go in and cut". I would recommend Dr. Foos as an example to all in the medical field. I feel like I have a friend when we speak and there is no fear or hesitation when going to a visit. A+A+A+”

“I fell and sprained my ankle. When I called, the staff quickly found an appointment for me later that day and were very friendly. They made me feel at ease and comfortable. Dr. Johnson explained what was wrong with my ankle, how we were going to treat it, and took time to answer all my questions. Thank you Professional Orthopaedic Associates.”

“My mom had hip surgery in 1995 with Dr. Torpey. He was wonderful and she loved him. I had elbow and shoulder surgery in 1998 and 1999. Between the extensive rehabilitation and challenges of getting back to work, Dr. Torpey was a constellation of excellence and compassion. He always took the time to listen with empathy, be supportive, and provide the best care. He is a rare find. I have referred several friends to him, and he has made them better. He is my all time favorite orthopaedic surgeon!”

Treating Doctor:“I came to see Dr. Gentile because of pain and swelling in my right thumb and wrist. He took x-rays and explained to me, in detail, that I had a bone spur at the base of my thumb that was causing inflammation. He then told his advanced treatment options to me. After being treated with medication and doing some therapeutic exercises, the swelling went down, and I had normal function of my hand and thumb. I was pleased with Dr. Gentile, his detailed explanations, and the results of treatment.”
