“Love Dr. Foos, explained everything and took excellent care of me. Also, Karen was fantastic. The appointment secretary was great. I am getting ready to see Dr. Foos again soon for another issue. I recommend him everywhere. Working with my insurance also was a great plus.”

“Quick appointment time and pleasant experience with office personnel. Dr. Bade puts you at ease quickly, explains what is injured, and what he plans to do to repair and return me to normal life. I’m already in physical therapy and feel that my recovery will go well. I would send friends and family to see Dr. Bade or the rest of the group and would go back if I needed great care again.”

“Everyone in this practice is wonderful! From our initial call to make an appointment, to insurance department, techs all the way to Dr. Bade we were treated as if we were the only patients in the office. I appreciate the kind hand given to my daughter and would recommend this practice to everyone!”

“Dr. Foos is outstanding. Upon initial examination, he gives you an honest assessment along with distinct options concerning your treatment. You are advised both before and after surgery, and along with his support staff, a stressful situation is made as easy as possible. He called the day after surgery to make sure things were going well. The level of care is exceptional. He is highly recommended.”

“I've been a patient of Dr. Gentile since he opened his first practice in Toms River. Through the years, he's diagnosed & treated various ailments as well as done two surgical procedures on me. He once diagnosed broken bones in my leg that 2 emergency rooms couldn't find after being X-rayed. Dr. Gentile is a rarity in the world of medicine today. He never acts rushed or makes me feel like he's pressed for time. He actually listens with undivided attention! I've recommended Dr. Gentile to others & will continue to do so. Thank you, Dr. Gentile for your compassion & for helping me out of many painful situations!”

“Dr. Johnson was extremely professional and kind. I was in pain from arthritis and the tingling and numbness in my right arm and hand was particularly disturbing. He had sent me for a nerve test which established problems of carpal tunnel in both hands, but more of a problem in my right. Dr. Johnson operated on my right hand and I was given an injection in my left hand. My recovery is excellent and I am now able to do tasks which I had previously been unable to perform. Karen, my physical therapist is outstanding, caring, and very professional. I sincerely appreciate all the professionals who addressed my pain and arthritis. I was becoming depressed with the pain and inability to do the simplest tasks, but now the opposite is true. Thank you.”
