“I had a knee replacement with Dr. Gesell. I felt very safe in his hands. He explained everything and was compassionate with me during my surgery and recovery. I will be having another knee replacement in October. I would highly recommend Dr. Gesell to anyone. During my hospital stay and with the visits from Home Health Care and physical therapy, they all remarked about how well I was doing and how the surgery went for me. My recovery seemed to be above the normal.”

“I have been a patient since1997 when I was injured at school. I needed three surgeries, including a spinal fusion, so I have sent several doctors in the practice. The doctors are all wonderful and caring and try varied approaches to avoid surgery unless absolutely necessary. The staff is exceptional and always ready to assist. I recommend this group to everyone and sing their praises to all who listen.”

“During the past 7 years, I needed surgery on both of my shoulders. From the beginning, Dr. Gentile provided guidance and support for my injuries. Each time he performed surgery, the discomfort and pain I experienced was eliminated. Dr. Gentile explained each procedure in detail, and spent the time to show me the x-ray and MRI pictures. giving me details on why surgery was recommended. Today, I enjoy a life without shoulder pain or discomfort.”

“Dr. Torpey is an outstanding surgeon. I have RA and was very slow to heal my arthroscopic knee surgery of a meniscal repair. Dr Torpey is very understanding and is continuing to try to heal my right knee by going one step at a time. I have tremendous faith in him and his office staff. Thank you.”

“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 received a catastrophic knee injury in 1978 as a 16-year-old football player. I spent the next 29 years of my life having acute pain and 8 knee surgeries, until Dr. Bade performed a total knee replacement in 2006. The surgery was better than anything I ever hoped for. The recovery went well, quick, and 8 weeks almost to the day, I rode in the MS50, 50-mile bicycle charity event on the Jersey shore. I had over twice as long in my life with terrible knee pain and limitations that I had forgotten how to go to bed at night and fall asleep without having to take aspirin, prop my leg and have ice. I will never be able to thank Dr. Bade enough and I refer anyone who asks, "Where did you get your knee done?" to Dr Bade and Professional Orthopaedic Associates.”
