“Dr. Nicholson is capable way beyond his years. I was thoroughly impressed. I was a little nervous seeing a doctor this young, but within 2 minutes, I knew I was in good hands.”

Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“Dr Bade! How can I describe my experience with the ultimate professional? This is on doctor that actually still practices by a moral code. My problems were always addressed and Dr Bade never rushed through any of my appointments before or after shoulder surgery. I had forgotten what it was like to have such an incredible physcian. Hands on and actually palpates. My appointments were always on time and each visit was non threatening. The staff is friendly and caring and always manage to work with you should an issue arise. I can't see myself going to another Orthopaedic Doctor after being at Professional Ortho. They definitely are worthy of the name professional.”
Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“I've seen Dr. Johnson on two different occasions. He is attentive and knowledgeable. I was made to feel comfortable by Dr. Johnson and his staff. I will definitely continue to use and trust Dr. Johnson!!”

Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“My experience was as close to being a pleasure but not for the condition. My physician was outstanding, I never saw the operating room, woke up pain-free and remained so during my entire time of rehabilitation. The hospital staff treated me exceptionally well, and my two nurses kissed me good bye after my hospital stay. My hip replacement was a success, and in retrospect if I knew what I know now, I would have had it done five years ago. I cannot thank my doctor and the hospital staff enough for doing such a great, patient focused, customer caring effort.”

Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“ I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Bade and the whole orthopedic group at Toms River. I had carpal tunnel surgery and I was very nervous prior to the surgery. You all helped to make my experience a good one. You made my day!”
– Judith B.
Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“Dr. Cohen is a very experienced and competent doctor. Above all, he has great compassion for his patients. Between my wife and myself, we have had five back surgeries by Dr. Cohen. I cannot even think of going anywhere else for back surgery if either one of us needs surgery again, and it will be by Dr. Cohen. If I have a question about my treatment, Dr. Cohen or one of his staff always gets back to me. Dr. Cohen says that my wife and I are now like family and he treats us like we are. He’s a great guy and doctor.”
– Charles S.
Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“The experience I have had with Professional Orthopedics has been superb! The staff is always very welcoming & friendly! I feel like I'm visiting family when I go there. Dr. Torpey is definitely an outstanding doctor. His patient care is top notch, and I would never consider seeking a second opinion. The surgeries he has performed always resulted in my being 100%. I would highly recommend this office! Thank you for all you have done for me! I'll miss my visits, but welcome feeling great again!”
– Kim B.
Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“Dr. Cohen has done an excellent job for me. He got me scheduled for surgery when I desperately needed to get it done. I’m pleased with the results to this point. He made it very easy for me to understand what he was going to do and how it all worked out during surgery. ”
– Michael K.
Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:“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.”
– Lou & Judy V.
