“Mom knows best - Following my Rotator Cuff injury - my first phone call was to my Mom - a career rehabilitation nurse who works on catastrophic case files - the only name she gave me was Dr. Gentile at Professional Orthopaedic Associates - I'm soo glad I listened - following a successful surgery and successful physical therapy - I was back to playing golf and maintaining my 4 handicap in only 5 months - Thank you Dr. Gentile.”

“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 had hip replacement surgery with Dr. Gesell a year and a half ago. I can't tell you how much it has meant to me. I am "as good as new," and I can do everything I was always accustomed to do, leading an active life. The surgery took about twenty years off my age! I am so grateful.”

“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.”

“Dear Dolores, (Dr. Bade's Billing Specialist) Thank you very much for your courtesies and patience. Please tell Dr. Bade that the arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder was very successful and my golf game has improved. Though I do not get as much distance, I am much more accurate and my game is one of course management and my score is lower. Again, thank you very much to you and all of the pleasant and friendly staff in your office.”

“This office is run the most efficient I have seen. The staff is nice, professional and courteous. I work in an office so I know how hard it is to manage and maintain this. Dr. Gesell is on the top of my list as far as doctors go. He is nice,professional and listens. He did my hip two years ago and I had no problems after surgery at all. He will be doing my knee when I decide to have it done.”

“I want to thank Dr. Jason Cohen and the staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates for the care and support that I received throughout my procedure. From the time of my first phone call for my initial visit, to the most recent post-surgery check-up, I never felt as a “number,” but as someone as important as a family member. Dr. Cohen was very compassionate to the pain I was feeling as well as making me feel more at ease with the surgical procedure that was inevitable. The pain from the collapsed disc was so unbearable, that whenever I would cough or laugh, the pain would bring me to tears. As instructed by Dr. Cohen, the physical therapy made the recovery from the removing of the disc and the fusion of the two vertebrae very fast. It has now been over 2 years after the surgery, and I’ve never felt better. My husband reminds me that the scar from the incision is virtually invisible. Once again, thank you to a wonderful doctor and staff!!”
