  • “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.”

  • “Dr. Mark Gesell has helped me on several occasions. A fine, experienced physician and gentleman, he is also careful, patient and kind. He is cautious and does not advise unnecessary treatments. I have known him for years, because he was my student in high school. He comes from a fine family. Then, as now, I am pleased to recommend him without reservation and wish him all the best with his career.”

  • “Dr. Torpey is a constellation of excellence ---I saw him recently for a painful complex elbow injury. I've known him 18 years and he's still the best Orthopedic MD I know! His kind manner, patient listening & clear explanations helped me move ahead w/o fear. He treated my Mom w/hip replacement & and my brother too. I'm so grateful for all that Dr. Torpey has done for me & others and I always spread the word on how special he is. ”

  • “Dr. Lusk is very professional and was very thorough when explaining my injury and what going forward would look like. I barely had to ask a single question as she had answered them all. She definitely gave me a lot of confidence going forward that I would be taken care of very well.”

  • “My daughter Kate had to undergo surgery on her knee for a rare condition known as Osteochondritis Dissecans. Dr. Foos not only successfully diagnosed her condition but also performed surgery on her. While there are no guarantees for any surgical procedures, Dr. Foos has been extremely forthcoming with recovery and managing expectations of a very active 14 year old athlete. Dr. Foos is extremely thorough, easy to talk to and makes each patient feel important. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Foos as a surgeon and physician.”
