  • “I was very impressed with Dr. Foos. I was confident in his ability to perform a knee replacement surgery on me. It went well and I am on my way to a full recovery. I would highly recommend him.”

  • “Last year, I saw Dr. Bade because my right shoulder was bothering me. He ordered a CT scan, and after review prescribed physical therapy. The PT made a complete difference in how I felt... Dr. Bade indicated no further action was required at that time... I was very pleased that he did NOT jump on the chance to operate... it was obvious he had MY best interest in mind. Unfortunately, I damaged the shoulder further... this time I need surgery because the rotator cuff is in fact severely damaged. I have complete confidence in Dr. Bade, and look forward to getting back to my old self again.”

  • “Dear Dr. Gabisan, Thanks to you I was able to take the cruise and go on all of the shore excursions and climb hundreds of steps going to museums and cathedrals. My left foot, which had the tendon moved, held up very well. I wasn’t in pain at all. There was no swelling either. We had a wonderful trip. Thanks again.”

  • “I have been a patient of POA for many years. This was my first experience with Dr. Plyler. I found Dr. Plyler to be great. He made me feel most comfortable. He took his time with me and answered all my questions and my wife’s, who was on a conference call due to COVID. I found him to be most compassionate and understanding of my concerns. I feel Dr. Plyler is a definite asset to the practice and will recommend him and POA to all my friends. ”

  • “In May 2008 and we began the odyssey of repairing my horrendous spine. My neck surgery in July 2008 was a 100% success in less than three months. Seven months later my lower spine surgery was complete. By November, I was starting to have many days with no pain at all. You have given me back my life and my dignity, Dr. Cohen. You are a gift to my life and may you be blessed for making me human again. My 'thank you' seems so small compared to all youve done, but it comes from my heart.”

  • “Dr. Gesell recommended that I have knee replacement surgery to alleviate the pain in my knee. The Office staff set up all of my appointments for me at Monmouth Medical Center. I arrived at the hospital on the morning of the surgery, and the check-in was speedy. Dr. Gesell operated using the Mako robot. The surgery went well, and I don't remember a thing until I woke up. The Nurses and Residents at the hospital were all very attentive and professional. They got me up to walk right after the surgery, and I went home the next day. My recovery was speedy, and I was walking around the house with just the aid of a cane by the end of the first week. If I had known the recovery was going to be so quick, I would have done this a long time ago. My knee is so much more stable now without that grinding pain. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gesell and his whole team! ”
