Patient Reviews: Dr. Mark Gesell

“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 ”

“Dear Dr. Gabisan, Thank you for all the wonderful ways you bring health into our lives. Thank you again for all of your care for my foot and knee problems. Warm regards”

“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.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Foos for years and find him and the entire office staff to be above board, professional and courteous. ”

“Excellent- Dr. Foos was very understanding of my hip pain and able to explain possible causes. I appreciate his thorough yet cautionary approach to treatment. ”

“Dr. Johnson is just a consummate professional. He is knowledgeable and shows how much he cares. I’m happy my daughter was in his care. ”

“Everyone from Dr. Cohen to his entire staff is nothing but the best! Caring and compassionate and very professional. Could never go to anyone else for care for myself or my family.”

“Dr. Bade is one of the best doctors I’ve known. He takes his time and explains in detail the course of action. He’s helped my son from his hip to thigh problems. I wish I would have known Dr. Bade sooner.”

“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.”

“ Excellent staff Dr. Cohen is a very understanding right to the point type of doctor and a great person. ”

“Recently completed two carpel tunnel surgery's, both went well, and recovery was as described — similar experience with Dr. Saleh who repaired my torn quad previously. Very satisfied with the practice as a whole and have recommended them to family and friends.”

“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. ”

“Dr. Johnson has performed two surgery's on my hands. In conjunction with the related visits for these procedures, he has referred me for additional care. He is an outstanding physician and a great person. I am fortunate to have been under his care. I love the guy! ”

“I highly recommend Professional Orthopaedic Associates. The staff is accommodating, friendly and polite, and I never had to wait more than ten minutes from the time I signed to see my doctor. The doctor that treated me was Dr. Brian Torpey. He answered any questions I had about my condition and returned phone calls very promptly. ”

“Very caring and helpful staff. All was friendly. Dr. Johnson is very knowledgeable and thorough. He checked everything and gave different options for treatment. Excellent doctor!”

“We are finding out that our son had a torn ACL and a fully torn meniscus due to a football injury was quite difficult to hear. We had many questions. Dr. Bade amazing and spent quality time with us at each visit, especially after his first surgery. Dr. Bade is such a perfectionist, and the first surgery took a long time due to the meniscus continually tearing upon repair. We were tense/nervous/exhausted and he sat with us at 9:30 at night to meticulously detail the entire surgery. Post op appointment Dr. Bade showed us all the photos and again explained the whole procedure. The staff was accommodating. Fast forward to the next year - Senior year football captain - and tragedy still — the second injury just like the first. We had the same nurturing and caring experience the first go round. We are thankful that Dr. Bade was our son's surgeon.”

“Dr. Gesell put me at ease from the start. He was not pushy but very factual. The hospital was excellent, and the whole experience went well. I would recommend him (and have) highly.”

“Dr. Torpey provided me with excellent care. He diagnosed with the problem and prescribed physical therapy. My visits to Dr. Torpey have always been positive.”

“Dr. Foos was thorough in his exam, and he answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable talking to him. ”

“Dr. Torpey is a beautiful doctor. His kind and compassionate manner plus his expertise in treatment recommendations are unsurpassed. ”

“I thought Dr. Johnson was friendly and had a proper bedside manner. He took the time to explain my medical issue which required surgery. He also addressed non-surgical other problems related to my hand and made appropriate recommendations for treatment outside of his area of practice. I would highly recommend Dr. Johnson as well as his Occupational Therapist, Ila.”

“Dr. Gesell replaced both my knees. The results were fabulous-after years of discomfort, and limited mobility-I am moving pain-free.”

“As the title indicates, the Doctor and staff were extremely professional!”

“My provider explained everything in terms that I could understand. The whole experience was positive.”

“Dr. Foos has been just fantastic! From scoping my knees to injections, and eventually to bilateral knee replacement it has been just awesome! He is not quick to jump to surgery but somewhat steady and methodical approach to getting me moving again. My husband and son have both been patients of Professional Orthopaedic Associates with the same outstanding results!”
