Patient Reviews

“Dear Dr. Johnson, Clorinda, & All the Office Staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates, I just want to say again thank you for your incredible kindness and generosity towards me and my family. You are truly the most sincere, caring, and unselfish human beings that I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I have been a patient of Professional Orthopaedic Associates for many years. Dr. Johnson, you have treated our family for at least 30 years now. From my in-laws to my children and now to me. From the moment we met, you always made me feel at peace. I will admit, I have been thrown a couple of curve balls in my time and am very fearful when it comes to doctors, but knowing that I am in your hands, has always left me so comforted. Clorinda, where do I begin. You are the best for always fitting us in for immediate appointments and helping us with paper work and insurance. Your calming presence and efficient organization has pulled this family through many procedures, from fractured bones in my son’s ankle’s, knees, and hand, to my irregular EKGs and then being sent instantly to your own cardiologist. Thank you. Having this tremendous disc pain has been torture. I had been in severe pain for approx. 7 months. My neck, back, and left arm all hurt. My pain got to the point that I could only stand. Sitting was unbearable. Dr. Johnson, you examined me and knew right away that something funny was going on. That same day, I was introduced to your associate Dr. Cohen, who confirmed I needed an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Surgery was scheduled two weeks later after all pre-testing was approved. You have gone above and beyond to help me get to where I am today. Checking on me weekly to make sure all pre-testing was on scheduled and that I was not in pain. I was very afraid as my insurance was not taken at the office and I received a call that night to say not to worry. I am a widow with three children and one still in college, so I was very scared of the finances. Insurance companies denying most everything as they do. And also worrying that the worst would happen in surgery. It is such a foreign concept to be told by your office that  “Professional Orthopedic puts their patients 1st  and not the finances." They explained they would work with my insurance company and they stood by what they said! I am so happy to say that surgery took place April 24th - one week ago. I was home the next day 100% pain free and feeling better that I have in years. I had my follow up visit with Dr. Cohen six days later and was so excited to be told all was successful. Even your front desk staff hugged and welcomed me back. YOUR KINDNESS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTON!!!! You are truly an angel. God bless you for your talent, kindness, and compassion.”

“Dr. Nicholson was very thorough and explained what was going on with my injury. He answered all my questions and was very pleasant. I did not have to wait long and did not feel rushed. ”

“I stopped doing many of the activities I enjoy due to neck pain. Now boating, hunting, and four-wheeling are all fun again. I can even look right and left when I drive. Thank you.”

“Everything explained. Options understood.”

“We love everyone at Professional Orthopedic Associates.Thank you for such wonderful care.”

“I had a cyst in the joint of my thumb that interfered with my clinical classes that I needed to take for nursing school. My podiatrist recommended I go to Professional Orthopaedic Associates, specifically the Tinton Falls office to see Dr. Johnson. After consultations with him, we decided a surgical approach would be the best for me based upon the cysts position in between nerves. Shortly after the surgery, I went to occupational therapy, and was quickly able to return to school. Thanks to Dr. Johnson, I didn't have to give up my dream of an education in the medical field.”

“My provider explained everything in terms that I could understand. The whole experience was positive.”

“My experience with Professional Orthopaedic Associates, and Dr. Brian Torpey, has been outstanding in every phase. The initial visit and diagnosis was thorough, thoughtful, and presented with a plan that gave me confidence in all phases to come. The surgery, and follow up care has followed the same pattern. My recovery has been progressing superbly under Dr. Nancy Allario, and the follow-up visits to Dr. Torpey have given me an outlook to a full return to my sporting interests. The staff at Professional Orthopaedic Associates has been warm and helpful through all of the phases of my time interacting with them. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone seeking the knowledge and expertise necessary in dealing with issues related to this type of practice. Thank you to all of you for helping me.”
