I recently received PT treatment in the Avenel office after hip replacement by Dr. Brzezinski. Dr. Brzezinski is a wonderful physician and my new hip is perfect. He then recommended me for PT next door with Lucas Suydam. The treatment he gave me helped tremendously in my recovery. He focused on how I was doing and modified each session accordingly. This was the best PT therapy I have ever received.

Dear Dr. Sagebien,
I am deeply grateful to you and your entire team. Your skill and dedication not only saved my life but also significantly improved its quality and for that, I am forever thankful. With multiple fractures in a severely damaged pelvis, this is my second chance at life, and from being confined to a wheelchair to now fully walking gives me back hope that I will complete my PhD. Your expertise & compassionate care not only saved my life but also restored my hope and mobility. I will forever remember and will be eternally grateful for the second chance I got from the universe making you the vessel for my recovery.

Thank you does not say enough. I am so grateful to Dr. Leddy for his kindness and expertise. My range of motion is restored after 16 years of thinking it could not be. I am forever grateful.

I had an exceptional experience at UOA. I entered the building with intense knee pain, and to my surprise, the facility was better than any day spa I have ever seen. I did not receive the name of the lady at the front desk, however, I am titling her as the Chief for First Impressions. She was extremely kind, pleasant, and helpful. The team of Alivia and Jen made me feel so comfortable and served as great compliments to Dr. Swan. Dr. Swan is a highly trained and dedicated medical professional. I noticed his meaningful and thoughtful questions about my injury. In short, UOA is a group of highly skilled professionals, and the facility is well-equipped and modern. I highly recommend UOA in Woodbridge, NJ. Thank you all for an exceptional experience.
I wish I could have Dr. McDonnell for all my medical needs. I have never met a doctor with his kindness. He has the best bedside manners, explains everything, and took away my Sciatic pain that I have suffered with for 20 years. I was on Opiates, which was the only way I could function, and he explained to me how these would make my intense spinal surgery harder to recover from because of my brain receptors. I had been on Permanent Disability since 2005. I’m 69 and had no quality of life. Knowing he was going to help me, I went home and started detoxing from pain medication I had been taking for 20 yrs. Unfortunately, there are doctors who just keep filling your scripts without trying to help you. It wasn’t easy but with my family’s help, I did it! So on the day of surgery, I felt good, and I thanked Dr. McDonnell for this. He was a God-sent. Although the surgery was rough, I no longer have L5/S1 pain, and at 69, I see a light at the end of my tunnel. Thank you so much Dr. McDonnell for fixing me and helping me become drug-free. You are a one-of-a-kind doctor. I wish I found you sooner. Your staff at RWJ, including PAs, nurses, aids, and PTs, treated me with empathy and kindness. They were so accommodating and never made me feel uncomfortable. He can be proud of his staff at the office, and hospital.

Congrats to Dr. Butler and Dr Harwood! They totally replaced both of my knee joints on January 2, 2002. This past October, I had an appointment with Dr. Harwood to be proactive with my progress! Results were very good – Dr. Harwood said both joints are looking well! He originally said I’d have 15-20 years before possibly needing replacements. I haven’t had any trouble and Dr. Hardwood said the prognosis was very good for many more years! I am 75 now and doing great! Congratulations to all of the doctors at University Orthopaedic Associates!

When the state finals were over, Bridgewater Raritan High School senior Allison Lynch knew her high school soccer career was over, too. But she wasn’t dwelling on that. Allison, who was sidelined by a knee injury earlier in the game, was worried she wouldn’t be able to play at Rutgers in the fall as planned.
“I was going into a tackle, my leg got twisted, a girl fell on it and my knee just popped,” said Allison, 17. She headed for the bench, tried to walk it off and re-entered the game a few minutes later. She took one step sideways and her leg collapsed. That was it.
“My trainer said it wasn’t looking good, but I was stubborn,” said Allison. “I kind of knew in my head that something was wrong, but once I fell I knew for sure.”
