Patient Reviews

“Timely and courteous! Suggested how to proceed to help remedy my discomfort. Reassuring! ”

“Dear Dr. Johnson, Thank you so much for getting me back up and running (literally) and for teaching me about the meaning of patience. I had a great race in Lake Placid and appreciated all the support you’ve given me. ”

“2 1/2 months after a multi-level, 4 vertebrae spinal fusion, I was swinging a golf club at 50% and playing golf. 5 months after surgery I was swinging 100% and playing two times a week. It has been 7 months since surgery and I am doing everything that a healthy 49 year old can do and then some. Thanks to Dr. Cohen. Life is good once again!”

“Searching for a great doctor and surgeon is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make in your life. I have been a patient of yours for over 15 years and not only do I feel part of a medical family, one you will never find anywhere else, but I am more comfortable in my life in your very capable hands. You are a surgeon like no other and someone who is overly compassionate, has the best bedside manner you will ever experience, and a level of care that gives you a level of calm like no other. I have had 3 operations, two cervical fusions and one back anterior/posterior fusion to date and couldn't be happier with the results. My life has been changing for the better and I can't even put into words how I feel about someone that has so much care, understanding, and patience into "fixing" my body to a point where the bionic woman couldn't even compare. You and your staff are people who not only make you feel like the most important person in the room, but also make sure you are comfortable and calm every step of the way. They should be highly commended for their efforts, hard work, and professionalism. I thank you again and again for everything you have done and continue to do for me. I have seen so much in the medical field that I am actually making a career change, when I get back to work, and taking my computer skills to the medical industry. Thank you again for everything you do!”

“As I stated in the survey I completed, Dr. Gesell is a beautiful doctor. He listens to what you are trying to communicate and explains his answers and any options available clearly. As a patient, you do not feel rushed or that he is not interested in your issue. I would most definitely use Dr. Gesell if I required further treatment. ”

“Been relying on Dr. Foos and the POA staff for over 20 years. Would recommend any other practice. Thank you again. ”

“Dr. Nicholson thoroughly explained everything about the potential surgery. He was my second opinion, and I immediately switched to having him do my surgery. He made me completely comfortable with the decision to proceed. It was the best experience I’ve had with a doctor in a long time. I highly recommend him.”

“Dr. Cohen was Great. He took the time to understand my problem and seemed to want to try and help me. ”

“Great bunch of guys. Motorcycle accident injury. They treated me and found no operation needed, just physical therapy. What a relief not to go under the knife. Thanks, guys!”

“My daughter Kate had to undergo surgery on her knee for a rare condition known as Osteochondritis Dissecans. Dr. Foos not only successfully diagnosed her condition but also performed surgery on her. While there are no guarantees for any surgical procedures, Dr. Foos has been extremely forthcoming with recovery and managing expectations of a very active 14 year old athlete. Dr. Foos is extremely thorough, easy to talk to and makes each patient feel important. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Foos as a surgeon and physician.”
