“I was delighted with every step of the process. All pre-op questions got answered clearly and patiently. The operation went flawlessly, and I walked around my block two days after the procedure. Post-operative pain was minimal, and I was soon able to do things I hadn't done in years. It felt like I'd gotten a big part of my life back. This experience was pretty much identical to the one I'd had the previous year with Dr. Gesell when he replaced my other knee. Thank you so much, Dr. Gesell.”

“Dr. Gesell was friendly and informative and did such a fantastic job with my hip surgery that I didn’t feel like I had surgery at all after three weeks. I was completely pain-free and had full mobility without any aids.”

“Dr. Gesell recommended that I have knee replacement surgery to alleviate the pain in my knee. The Office staff set up all of my appointments for me at Monmouth Medical Center. I arrived at the hospital on the morning of the surgery, and the check-in was speedy. Dr. Gesell operated using the Mako robot. The surgery went well, and I don't remember a thing until I woke up. The Nurses and Residents at the hospital were all very attentive and professional. They got me up to walk right after the surgery, and I went home the next day. My recovery was speedy, and I was walking around the house with just the aid of a cane by the end of the first week. If I had known the recovery was going to be so quick, I would have done this a long time ago. My knee is so much more stable now without that grinding pain. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gesell and his whole team! ”

“Dr. Gesell is the best of the best! I cannot put into words how pleased I am with the outcome of my total hip replacement surgery. The pain is gone, recovery was quick and nearly pain-free, and I'm ready to schedule my 2nd total hip replacement in the next few weeks. Additionally, I can't say enough about the staff. They are professional, courteous, and work so hard to make the entire process smooth and easy. I have been coming to Professional Orthopaedics for more than 15 years, and all of the doctors and staff are always caring and provide quality service no matter how big or small your injury may be. ”

“Dr. Gesell helped me to feel confident about the surgeries that he would perform. He explained the surgical procedure and what I should expect after as far as mobility and pain levels as the healing time progressed. His demeanor made me feel sure that I had the correct doctor for each of my procedures. He first performed a total hip replacement which I had put off for much too long. I now have a well-performing hip that makes me feel like I have the bone of a 15-year-old. Dr. Gesell also fixed the tears in my right shoulder. He told me what to expect after the surgery and how long my recovery would take. Now I have a pain free shoulder. Dr. Gesell is also treating me for my right knee which has a tear and some arthritis. He has done two injections that have helped immensely, although I do know that somewhere down the line I will need a knee replacement, he has assured me that we can wait until that procedure is necessary for the quality of life which I do have at this point with the injections. Thank you, Dr. Gesell ”

“I had a complete hip replacement, and it has worked out wonderfully. I can exercise regularly and am in as good physical condition as one half my age. I am so grateful to Dr. Gesell for my new hip and the overall quality of my life.”

“Dr. Gesell was a personable and professional specialist. He administered injections to both knees that are still helping months later. He answered all questions thoroughly, and in a way, I could understand. I also attended his seminar at Monmouth Med and was very impressed with his presentation on knee surgery.”

“Dr. Gesell has treated me for a few years due to a damaged right knee. I appreciated that he would drain the fluid and inject cortisone when the pain and swelling got too bad. He never pressured me into surgery although I needed it but was not ready for the commitment. When I finally decided on a TKR, Dr. Gesell patiently guided me through the process. I had robotic surgery on April 27th and am happy with the results of my new knee and straight leg. I still have some swelling and stiffness but am much improved from the past pain and deformity. As a mother of a Physician, I expected certain professionalism from my team and was pleased with Dr. Gesell and his staff. The office is friendly and efficient, and patients aren't required to sit and wait for hours in the waiting room. I have referred many people to Dr. Gesell and hope that he continues to stay focused on positive outcomes for his patients. ”
