Dr. Harwood gave me back my scuba diving. Thanks to the 2 knee replacements that Dr. Harwood did for me over the last couple of years, this past August I was able to go scuba diving with sea lions in the Sea of Cortez.

Yesterday I underwent my second full hip replacement by Dr. Stephen Kayiaros. This was my first at the UOA in-house surgical facility. It was a great experience with everyone involved ensuring I was comfortable and informed throughout the process. Special mention goes to Abby in pre-op prep and Lauren in post-op care. Both were excellent and I’m grateful for their efforts. Many thanks to Dr. Stephen Kayiaros for performing my second full hip replacement. As a pioneer of the anterior approach he provided a very good experience with minimal discomfort. All pre- and post-operative activities are thoroughly organized and the information process is excellent. Thank you!

When I went into University Orthopaedics, I had no quality of life. I was using 2 canes to walk and a scooter if I had to go any kind of a distance. Thanks to Doctor Baione I got my life back. My 2 new knees have given me the quality of life that I had been missing for many years since my knees became arthritic. The doctors and nurses and physician assistants in the practice were very kind very considerate and very caring for the patient. I definitely recommend all the doctors and professionals in this office for any of your joint replacement needs.

My husband and I both had bilateral knee replacement by Dr Stephen Kayiaros a few years ago. What a blessing. We have our lives back and are enjoying taking our dog on long walks. The surgery was uneventful and pain management was the best. With extensive PT we were up and about in a few short days actually climbing stairs the day we were discharged. Only issue is we were sorry we waited so long to do this replacement. Dr Kayiaros is the best. He has a kind heart.

I had problems with a knee replacement for five years. I decided to go to Doctor Baione in Wall. He took X-rays and knew right away what was wrong. He replaced the problem knee and I couldn’t be happier. He explained everything thoroughly and I was able to do everything by myself after two days. The staples came out two weeks later and I’m able to drive and get my walker in the car by myself. Thank God for doctors like Dr. Baione. I highly recommend him. The entire staff is wonderful. The communication with the staff from my initial visit to the surgery and follow up has exceeded all of my expectations.
I am a bilateral hip replacement patient. I was on crutches for four years prior to surgery due to my own stubbornness and fear. I had Dr. Baione as my surgeon and he is outstanding. I am so pleased to have met him and his team. They are the best. I have true confidence in him. That’s what you have to have in a surgeon, trust. I am also so beyond pleased with the Morganville PT and their staff. My PT is Alexis Greenberg and I would like to let everyone know she is truly the best. She made me feel welcome and comfortable. I have had great success in my rehab journey because of Alexis. She is caring and knows what I need. I look forward to going each time. She is awesome and I highly recommend her to anybody who needs rehab to really think about using Alexis for their wellness journey. It makes a difference, she made a difference to me.

Six weeks out from total knee replacement and I already feel better than I have in years. I’m finally getting my life back. I highly recommend Dr. Baione and his whole team.
In 2022 I had my left knee replaced and in 2023 I had my right knee replaced. Both replacements were done by Dr. Baione. My Physical Therapists were Vincent Petracco and John Keegan. Everyone there is amazing. Every workout is custom fit to each patient. Every time I left I was one step closer to recovery. It’s a very calming, laid-back and friendly atmosphere. After just a few visits, you feel like family. I would recommend this office to friends, family, and even someone I didn’t know. The whole staff is incredible. I feel like I made friends. Thank you for all the help and encouragement.

I want to thank the whole staff at UOA. After replacing both my knees, they have given me my life back. The whole office from doctors to physician assistants and to everyone else who worked there were kind and caring and just made the whole experience so much easier than I expected. Once again thank you all for giving me my life back.

The staff at the Center for Rehabilitation and Sports Excellence in Somerset are some the most knowledgeable, experienced, empathetic, and kind professionals I have ever worked with. In particular, Anne and Megan, worked with me after full knee replacement surgery to increase my range of motion and build up my strength in this leg. By the time I was finished, they had me walking without any issues in this leg. Everyone on staff is extremely aware of what you have just gone through with your surgery and the entire team works to get you fully mobile again. The best physical therapy facility I have ever worked with.
