I wanted to take the time to write this testimonial because I felt it was the very least I could do to thank Dr. Kayiaros and his PA, Lauren Stull, for all they did for me! I will be forever grateful to them for giving me my mobility back. In early October 2017, I had the anterior approach left hip replacement surgery.
Five years earlier, I had the posterior approach on my right hip by a different doctor (now retired) and what a difference in my pain level, my recovery and my immediate mobility because of the anterior approach and Dr. K’s skill.
I would suggest the anterior approach to anyone for whom it’s viable! I was discharged from the hospital the next day after the surgery and was a little tentative but I was able to walk to my bedroom, that night, to the second floor! In home P.T. started the following day and lasted two weeks until outpatient PT. Even still, I was able to get around in my home very well and the pain was very tolerable. I do have a high tolerance for pain but this was SO much less pain than with the posterior approach.
From the moment, my wife and I went to UOA, we really loved it. You will notice a huge difference like we did. The entire process of paperwork, scheduling of appointments, pre-surgery paperwork, the surgery, etc., is managed SO well. It’s really unlike any other doctor’s office I’ve been to. Of course, having surgery and preparing for it, can be very stressful. UOA took that stress away.
In addition, we had a few questions prior to the surgery and ALWAYS received a prompt call back from Dr. K’s efficient PAA (who’s name escapes me right now but she was wonderful too). This office is a well-oiled machine!!
It is now three months past my surgery and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I am so glad that I found such a wonderful surgeon to relief all the pain I was suffering with. I’m back to being out and about and able to enjoy life and walking without pain any more.
Lauren was also very compassionate and kind. She gives you all the time needed to ask/answer questions and you don’t feel rushed in any way while in their offices.
I am so pleased with my outcome and it’s my pleasure to recommend and suggest that you contact Dr. Kayiaros’ office if needed!!
