Patient Reviews

“Dr. Bade and Staff, I just wanted to express my thanks for extending such a generous courtesy. Your staff has been extremely helpful, polite, and very efficient. My daughter Alex is very fortunate and is very appreciative of your care for her ankle injury.”

“These guys are fantastic! Faced with a knee issue in both knees, they both took conservative measures that have bought me time from surgery. Exercise will help, and a watchful eye makes me confident that my torn meniscus will be repaired when required.”

“Dr. Gesell, From the time I called and made an appointment up until the time of surgery, I had felt support from Dr. Gesell and his staff, i.e.; Amanda Aversa, Lisa Vito, and Colleen Rackett. No question was too silly and they always made time to answer my questions. Dr. Gesell put me at ease at the first visit and my MRI revealed that I had a torn rotator cuff (in my shoulder). Dr. Gesell had me go to physical therapy first, but, the pain never subsided. It was my choice to have the surgery when I did. The entire experience went much better than I expected and having the surgery at the Surgical Center proved to be an excellent choice. The nurses were gracious and the anesthesiologist was impeccable. The entire procedure went smoothly. I had a nerve block put in before the surgery, which helped me to cope for the three days following the surgery. Recovery is a long process. There are good and bad pain days. I am having passive physical therapy now and see Dr. Gesell this Friday. Dr Gesell always stressed that recovery will take time...and patience is key. I would gladly recommend Dr "G" as a surgeon. He has definitely won me over with his skill as a surgeon and his ability to communicate to his patient and their family.”

“Professional exceptional medical advice.”

“I'm pleasantly surprised and I say pleasantly because I did not expect the level of satisfaction I got from this office. I'm now retired from the corporate world and I find myself complaining how offices are terribly run and how, nowadays, people just don't care-most of them want to do the minimum required and could care less if client satisfaction is being provided.  A couple of years ago, I needed a shoulder specialist and by pure luck I decided to have Dr. David Gentile look at my shoulder.  Dr. Gentile took his time to explain in details what he was going to do to solve my problem.  He operated on my right shoulder and as he predicted, my shoulder was fixed.  A year later, while teaching soccer in the community, a kid ran into me and because my bad knee did not provide me the right balance, I feel and my other shoulder now needed to be repaired.  Dr. Gentile performed the operation and again he fixed it.  I decided to have a full knee replacement and to my regret, I did not call Dr. Gentile; I let my therapist convince me to see another surgeon- a mistake I regret and I'll never forget.  I found this new office to be rude; not to care about their patients and worse yet, I found the doctor to take the "I could care less attitude."  My knee replacement was a complete failure.  The insurance company gave me the permission to see a different doctor for a second opinion and at the same time they told me a revision was being negated.  I was not going to make the same mistake and this time I called Dr. Gentile for his recommendation - he recommended Dr. Mark Gesell.  On June 24, my revision took place.  While waiting for June 24, a family member got hurt.  I asked, once again, Dr. Gentile for his advice.  He recommended Dr. Glenn Gabisan and with no hesitation we went to him.  She got her procedure done and we are both in the recovery stage.  Dr. Gentile is now a key person for me - any problems I go to him and thanks to Dr. Mark Gesell, for the first time, I feel confident my knee will be fine.   Doctors, thank you very much; thanks to all of you I feel I'll be able to enjoy a normal life.”

“Very friendly staff. Dr. Nicholson was thorough and took the time to clearly explain the issue and steps to take toward recovery. Overall a very good experience. ”

“Good and even better that my knee has healed.”

“Dr. Gesell is an excellent and kind surgeon. He takes the time to sit and talk to his patients, and that's so important. The staff is very helpful also. I am very happy that I chose professional orthopedics for my knee replacement surgery.”

“When I first met you regarding my shoulder, I thought it would be a one time fix and I would then be on my way. Little did I know I would be around for a few operations and months of figuring out what was ailing me. Your guidance and advice that I received I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. Your patience, caring and understanding of what hurts, what's changed and what can be done to fix things is more than just comforting, it's appreciated and helpful more than you can know.  I have been a patient for years now and I would follow you and the doctors in the Practice anywhere you went. Support, care, and understanding are just a few of the adjectives I can list to explain just what you experience when you walk into one of these offices.  I wanted you to know you and your staff are like none I've ever experienced anywhere else and I never hesitate to recommend Professional Orthopaedic Associates to anyone needing the best there is.  Thank you again and again Dr. Foos for your help, care, and understanding in getting me back to myself again! Keep the well oiled machine running! It compares to no other orthopaedic office anywhere! Thanks for everything!”

“The wait time was short, and Dr. Torpey was a kind understanding and professional doctor who diagnosed my problem immediately. He recommended exercises to do at home to solve my problem.”
