“Dear Dr. Torpey, Thank you for all that you did for Max. His shoulder is as good as new - even better! Thank you, too, for the information you provided to the Army for the medical waiver process. With that - we wanted to be sure to tell you the good news - Max got his appointment to West Point a few days before Christmas. Needless to say he was (is) thrilled - it was the best gift he could have wished for. Thank you again for everything & Happy New Year!”

Treating Doctor:“Dr. Chris Johnson is a wonderful doctor and person. When I had my bi-lateral carpal tunnel surgery and trigger finger surgery he called me himself to see how I was doing. He is a very caring, compassionate, individual. Also, when I had problems with my shoulder he gave me a steroid injection he was very honest with me before administering the injection and very caring as well. I will always see Dr. Johnson if I have further needs with my hands, fingers or shoulders. Thank you.”

“Dr. Gentile, Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to experience what the field of orthopaedics is really like. I am very grateful that you allowed me to work with you for the past eight weeks. You explained so much and really included me during the appointments. I was able to absorb information and have experiences that I could never get from a classroom. You were truly a great mentor! Thank you of accommodating my schedule. I appreciate the efforts you made to allow me to accompany you into surgery. It was something I really wanted to see! I'm glad my memories of my first surgeries will have been with you. I had a lot of fun, and I will take this experience with me into my future. I believe that there will be a day in my career that I'll be working with a patient and remember something that I learned from you. Thank you again! This really meant so much to me.”
