At POA We Value Our Patients
Professionalism with a personal touch – this is the most direct way I would summarize my experience with Dr. Gecha and team. From the initial visit to the prognosis and discussing my treatment and surgical options, Dr. Gecha clearly articulated the full scope of my surgery and the recovery. The surgery itself went incredibly smooth and effortless. I can also report that my knee feels like it did when I was 20 years younger. I can honestly say that the experience with Dr. Gecha and the full POA team is by far the most rewarding medical process I have ever encountered. I would recommend POA to everyone!

Dr. Gecha is the very best. I am a 19-year-old varsity college swimmer who slipped leaving the pool, fell down a flight of stairs, and severely hurt my knee. After over 9 months of physical therapy, two MRI’s and having seen two orthopaedic sport medicine doctors I was still constantly in severe pain they all said there was nothing wrong with my knee and it was all in my head. I finally went to see Dr. Gecha. He took a very long time examining me and reviewing all of my records including the two MRI scans both showing nothing of concern. He was very understanding and really understood what was going on with my knee. He also understood the stress of being a collegiate athlete and the pressure put on by coaches pressing for me to get back to competing.
Together we put into place a plan which includes very special physical therapy by one of the great therapists at Princeton Orthopaedic, Sue. That prepared me for the surgery by Dr. Gecha on Tuesday. On Sunday I drove back to school. Within a week I was feeling better and within two weeks I was completely pain-free. I am still doing extremely well and hope to return to competitive swimming shortly after Thanksgiving.
I could not have done this without the knowledge and excellent care given by Dr. Gecha and his knowledgeable and caring staff. Thank you all.

Dr. Abrams really is the gold standard for orthopedics – he has a great bedside manner and he is an excellent technician. He has been my orthopedist for over 20 years and I have recommended him to family and friends. I have trusted him over the years to make the best decisions for my orthopedic care. He has always been realistic in his explanations as to what to expect and, actually, I have always managed to heal much faster/better than anticipated. If I were to rate him I would give him an A+!

I went to see Dr. Song because of his excellent reputation. He was highly recommended by my trainer and other physicians. I was really impressed with his manner. He took the time and thoroughly explained what was wrong and exactly what he could do for me and then gave me the space to think about it and come to my own decision. My down-time after the procedure went in-line with what he said it would be and I was well prepared coming into the surgery. I followed his instructions exactly. On my follow up visit he again took the time to explain exactly what he had done and answered all of my questions. I am very happy to be back to Pilates and weight-bearing exercises!

Dr. Song was absolutely wonderful. He is very "real". He worked with my goals: I am very active: Zumba 4 days a week/skiing. He never pushed me towards surgery – we tried other conservative options first. Then he explained exactly what to expect at surgery and for my recovery. He called me that night to see how I was doing! Everything went exactly as planned – no "surprises" and I'm happy to report that I'm back to all my activities.

Dr. Song is wonderful in every way. He is positive and professional. He managed my expectations every step of the way. I never waited long in the waiting room to see him. He is respectful to his patients and towards his staff. He was very encouraging and attentive even during my visits after the surgery. This is a practice where everyone is so kind and every detail is thought through! I'll say again, the encouragement that I received were an integral part of the surgical experience. Dr. Song is not your typical rushed, cold surgeon but rather, very warm and caring--and, of course, very skillful. I never felt rushed and was able to get respectful answers to all my questions. I also noticed that in my PT setting, many shoulder or knee patients had been to Dr. Song and I heard only good things. Regarding my experience with Dr. Song and his wonderful staff, I wanted to add that the specially-fitted sling and the ice pack that I was given in my pre surgery appointment were also an important part of my recovery.

I would like to say a HUGE “thank you” to Dr. Song. He performed torn rotary surgery on me 9 months ago and I was able to ride my horse again within 6 months. He did an amazing job! I saw the doctor regularly for 6 months after my surgery. At every appointment, the doctor patiently answered all of my questions and never acted as if he had to hurry to the next patient. Dr. Song is the type of physician every patient deserves.
His assistant, Ashley, was always prompt at returning phone calls and addressing my concerns. I still do the exercises Ashley took the time to review with me.
And last, but not least, Dr. Song’s office staff operates like a well-oiled machine. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and know how to schedule appointments. My appointments were always on time, which is quite a feat!
Thanks again to an incredible surgeon and those who provide support to him.

Dr. Bezwada spent as much time as I needed in his office discussing my hip replacement. He had me walking the next day. Three days later I was driving with little pain. The procedure was so much easier than I thought. Other doctors I talked to earlier scared me into waiting 3 years with great pain till I met Dr. B. Everything he told me was right on. His office is great. He is caring and I had very little downtime. I may need my other hip replaced. This time, I am not waiting at all.

My first hip replacement surgery was done in Philadelphia in 2005. When it was time to have my other hip replaced, I chose Dr. Bezwada & Capital Health in Hopewell, NJ. Dr. Bezwada is one of the few doctors that performs this surgery through the front instead of the back. This means there are no movement restrictions, which reduces rehabilitation time and pain. The pre-surgery consultation and orientation at Capitol Health were excellent. They informed me of the entire process from pre-admission testing to discharge. Dr. Bezwada phoned me the evening before the surgery to assure me that everything was going to go well. After surgery, I woke up in recovery and was soon taken to my private room. The nurses at Capital Health were professional and polite. Because of Dr. Bezwada, I am able to coach soccer again pain-free. I recommended Dr. Bezwada to my mother-in-law and at age 83 also came through the surgery pain-free.

Scheduling – surgery & follow-up appointments were a breeze? Wait time – “none”. I have my life back! Within 2 weeks I threw away my walker/cane. Three months later I walk 90 minutes a day – at least! I did at-home exercises post-surgery but did not need any formal physical therapy my prior constant back, knee, hip, and groin pain disappeared immediately. Dr. Bezwada’s beside manner is perfect. He is very calm and conveys that to his patients! I feel unstoppable!
