Testimonials Physician

This past Sunday, for the first time in ten years I went skiing. Without the bi-lateral hip replacement from June 2020, this wouldn’t have been remotely possible. I want to thank Dr. K and the entire staff for literally getting me back on my feet again.

P.S. I will be 68 in a month!

It was with much gratitude that I can say that Dr. Stephen Kayiaros has been my orthopaedic physician for the last 7 years, providing me with outstanding medical care. His warm and caring nature has provided me with the utmost confidence in placing myself in his care.

First of all I would like to thank my wonderful doctor, Dr. Jeffrey Bechler. He did an excellent job during my surgery. I’m so glad I choose University Orthopaedic Associates, LLC. to do my physical therapy. I met Kristine Kilbride as my therapist. She did a tremendous job and made me walk again. All the staff at this practice are caring people.

Your staff was great from start to finish. I had Lynn Van Ost who was great, always asking and checking to see if I was fine. No questions were ever left unanswered. I would recommend UOA to everyone.

When I started rehab two months ago, I was very apprehensive. I was in pain and had very little motion. I was very sorry that I had done the knee replacement surgery. Kristine was my therapist; she was very patient with me and told me it would take time and I would feel better each day. She was right. I started improving slowly but felt I was going to get better. I have completed my rehab and I feel happy that I know I did the right thing. Christine was wonderful, very patient, and caring. I would highly recommend her!

I suffered multiple fractures in a bicycling accident and was highly traumatized as a result. From my initial treatment by Dr. Sagebien at RWJ I felt I was in good and caring hands. My subsequent follow up at UOANJ further confirmed my impression and my confidence in the care I was receiving. I felt like i was being cared for both as a patient and as a person.   I want to particularly single out nurse practitioner Patricia Seuffert for her expert care and great kindness. One becomes very fragile when one suffers great trauma. At such times the warmth and kindness of your caregivers is especially important. Nurse Seuffort is a gem and a tribute to the office and her profession.

After cervical fusion I was back at work within 6 weeks! Dr. Chiappetta was reassuring of the procedure and the outcome. Now after 3 months I am back at work full-time, no pain or numbness and I owe it all to Dr.Chiappetta.

– J.A.

All of the staff at UOA are extremely pleasant and caring. I was impressed with the amount of time Dr. Chiappetta took to explain my condition, all of my options, and to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend UOA.

My therapist, Neveen Gabra, was very professional as well as extremely knowledgeable. She was patient and explained each exercise thoroughly. Although she pushed me past what I thought I could do, and I could feel the soreness, everything she did got me closer to my goal – walking without pain and no limp. I would recommend UOA to anyone, and specifically, Neveen Gabra, as well as Greg Roth. I have been to other therapy facilities – this is the best.
