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.

Dr. James Monica performed emergency surgery to address a femur fracture. I first met Dr. Monica in the hospital where he briefly explained the surgical procedure and why he believed it was my best option. The surgery went very well and within 3 months I am now walking unaided. I still need to strengthen my leg muscles and Dr. Monica provided written exercises for my leg, emphasizing which exercises were most beneficial for me. I met with Dr. Monica several times following the surgery and he always conducted himself in a calming manner while answering any questions in a clear and concise way. He was also accommodating with requests, such as my request for a temporary parking placard. Overall, my experience with Dr. Monica had been very positive and I highly recommend him as an orthopedic surgeon.
During my year long hurdle, I am so grateful to have had outstanding medical care from Dr. Doumas and Kristen, hand therapist.
It was very difficult to foresee recovery from a disabling injury of bilateral radial and ulna fractures. Dr. Doumas was always encouraging and patient, answering questions and offering alternative strategies and expectations to my long term recovery. His treatment plan always left me with a positive perspective on outcome.
Kristen’s attention to detail explaining exercises, altering and making supportive braces, encouraged me to feel like “you could do this”. while empathetically acknowledging my limitations, she always turned a negative into a positive trying to find solutions to my loss of function. I never thought I would have use of my right hand again. Thank you Kristen, I am eternally grateful for all your knowledge, caring and support that enabled me to get this far.
 I would like to thank everyone who worked along side during my recovery. Jessica, also for your attentive care and friendly conversations. The nurses and all the x-ray techs were so patient and understanding, extending themselves in any way to enable the difficult positions necessary for evaluation. The front desk–Doreen’s friendly morning greetings and accommodating appointment changes!
I am coming to an end with treatment and feel like I’m leaving a caring family who over this challenging year helped me regain function and independence. Thank you all at UOA!

Congratulations to Dr. Doumas. I know he truly deserves the recognition of the Select Surgeon’s Joint and Bone Award. I am so grateful for all he did for me by replacing both my shoulders. Wishing him all the best in the future as he continues to heal us. He is the best.

I fractured my elbow on 9/1/23, and was depressed, and in pain. Dr. Abdelfattah, and Joseph Johnson, my therapist were phenomenal. Joseph was passionate, and caring never rushing me, and helped me regain the use of my wrist and arm. He made rehab fun even though it is very serious work. Thanks to the UOA team for all you have done to rebuild me again.
I know GOD sent me to Dr. Lu for a reason! I had a horrific accident at work that shattered my humerus, and believe me it was far from funny! I was scared, nervous, apprehensive and the last thing I ever wanted was surgery. Dr. Lu was so compassionate, caring, informative, supportive and ALWAYS listened to my thoughts and concerns. I was never rushed and he always legitimately cared for my well being, not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well. He treated me for over 15 months and I wish I could just go and sit and talk with him now! The entire staff was just wonderful as well. They wore smiles every minute! If I could give them all 100 stars I would!!

Dr. Monica is an excellent doctor. I have been to him a few times in the past. He is extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what my problem was and treated it accordingly and with great results. In addition, his interpersonal skills are great. I felt comfortable and well cared for. I would recommend him highly.
