  • “Dear Dr. Gabisan, I write this letter to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience I received through my recent surgery on my foot. From the first day I scheduled my initial appointment to today, I have been treated by all members of your staff in the most professional, compassionate and kind manner possible. Once it was decided I was going to have surgery, Lisa Strydio took over. You truly have a gem to be treasured there! Lisa is extremely professional, efficient and personable in coordinating the numerous facets needed for a smooth experience. In addition to what a patient my expect as routine in scheduling surgery, Lisa on numerous occasions went above and beyond by placing that extra call to assure I had taken care of things I was required to do (IE pre-authorizations), confirmed I knew the facility and date and time of the procedure. She not only made me fee confident there would be no issues for surgery, she also make me feel like she personally cared about this being as painless as possible for me. I also had the pleasure of working with Roz for my Aflac paperwork. Having never filed a claim, I found the system somewhat cumbersome and Roz was quick to explain and do all she could to help smooth the process for me assuring me the benefit I received. All the women in the front office always have a smile on their face and do everything they can to make the patient’s feel welcome. There are no truer works that “the doctor is only as good as the staff that supports him/her” and clearly you have the “BEST”. Working in a customer service position myself, I can confidently say I’m sure their job is often not a “fun” one and there can be much injustice they endure. Clearly they are happy doing what they do and as such offer the most wonderful and welcoming professional office experience I have ever encountered. Please share my thanks with them! To you I say special thanks for your kind, compassionate and superior skillful talent as a surgeon! I will always refer patients and will be back myself for foot #2!!”

  • “My injuries required a tag team effort from Dr. Gabisan and Dr. Gesell. After successfully repairing my fractured fibula, broken ankle, and torn patella tendon, I am on the long road to recovery and rehab. Both doctors I and the whole staff have been incredible the entire process! Always helpful and responsive addressing any questions or concerns and making sure my needs are met. I am glad I chose Professional Orthopaedic Associates!”

  • “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.”

  • “I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bade and my experiences at both the Toms River and Tinton Falls offices to everyone who asks about my son's surgery. You and the other employees at POA have been such wonderful people to deal with. I have never seen a more professional or accommodating doctor's office. I really appreciate all that you do.”

  • “Dr. Cohen and his staff are great and he did an exceptional job on my neck 2.5 years ago and my lower back in November. He's getting me back together piece by piece and I'll be back in to see him again soon.”
