“Dr. Parker was kind. He listened to my concerns, and I greatly appreciated him walking me through every step of an injection I received. I felt confident with his treatment plan and would highly recommend him to other patients.”

“My husband was injured while on vacation and needed to see an orthopedic specialist as soon as he returned. I couldn’t get an appointment right away with other offices. A friend recommended Dr. Torpey. Not only was he seen that day, but the staff called and got approval within minutes from my insurance for an MRI. He had the MRI five minutes later. My husband was back in the office in two days to discuss the MRI findings and treatment. I have never experienced such professionalism and genuine concern from an office staff. Dr. Torpey spent a lot of time with us during the exams and made sure we understood every facet of the surgical procedure my husband needed. He has a warm and genuine bedside manner. I knew my husband was in good hands. I highly recommend Professional Orthopedics and will always be grateful for the wonderful medical care my husband received.”

“Dr. Bade first repaired my right shoulder. With extensive PT I was able to get almost 100% usage. This time the damage to the same joint was much more extensive, but after Dr. Bade's surgery in August and ongoing PT, I hope to get back to personal construction projects shortly.”

“Dr. Torpey has treated me and members of my family for many many years. There is one word to describe him as a physician.......amazing. Well maybe some additional words....incredible caring supportive awesome compassionate professional physician. He listens, he evaluates, he recommends and guides. What more can anyone want in a physician? His surgery and aftercare is 5 star. He is the best.”

“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.”
