Dr. Kayiaros is not only highly skilled, but he genuinely cares.

After struggling with my hip for six months—and dealing with complications from a surgery in Berlin—( I was running the Berlin Marathon and at mile 18 that’s when it happened. I had 2 surgeries in Berlin. 1st to repair the fracture, 2nd to fix the fracture that they caused.)
I finally found Dr. Kayiaros. From the very first visit, I knew I was in the right hands. Before I could even ask my questions, he had already addressed every concern that had been weighing on my mind.

He looked at my situation with confidence and said, “I can fix this.” That moment alone lifted such a heavy weight off my shoulders. For the first time in months, I felt hopeful.

On the day of surgery, everything went exactly as he explained. What truly amazed me was that I was up and walking just a few hours after surgery. That moment meant everything to me.

Dr. Kayiaros is not only highly skilled, but he genuinely cares. He gave me my confidence back and put me on the path to walking again. I am beyond grateful and would recommend him without hesitation.

All the Doctors & staff at UOA are wonderful & I highly recommend!

I’m so happy to have found Dr. Kayiaros to do my left hip replacement in 2022 & right in 2026. No longer in pain, even my knee is pain free. Very little pain after surgery & recovery was a breeze, even PT. All the Doctors & staff at UOA are wonderful & I highly recommend! Thanks Dr K

I was fortunate to receive Dr. Brzezinski as my surgeon

Efficient & informative. The Somerset building is beautiful. By the will of God I was fortunate to receive Dr. Brzezinski as my surgeon the night after my fall & admittance to OAN Old Bridge Hospital. He seems to have done an excellent job restoring my hip joint & knee. I’m still healing and using a walker, but am on the road to full recovery.

I highly recommend UOA to everyone.

My experience at UOA was excellent. My surgeon Dr. Brzezinski was amazing. His care and concern for my well being was outstanding. My hip replacement was a success. My recovery experience was excellent due to the wonderful PT’s Maggie and Megan. Together they walked alongside me and helped me and brought me to where I am today. I highly recommend UOA to everyone.

Couldn’t have been happier with the whole process!

I have been thoroughly pleased with my whole experience with UOA. Dr. Kayiaros did a wonderful job on my knee replacement. Lauren Stull and the entire nursing staff were always there to support me and answer any questions that I had. Lastly, Lucas Suydam did a great job as my physical therapist getting my new knee to where I needed it to be. Couldn’t have been happier with the whole process!

Everyone Was Very Professional and Caring

I would like to thank Dr. Baione and his team for taking the time to explain the hip surgery that I was going to have and putting my mind at ease as to how the procedure would go and what to expect after the surgery. It went flawlessly from my admission check-in, to surgery, through recovery. Everyone was very professional and caring.

After the surgery, I signed up for physical therapy at The Center for Rehabilitation & Sports Excellence, where I met Dr. Alexis Greenberg. Dr. Greenberg set up a program of Physical Therapy and exercise, which she and her team put me through twice a week for several weeks. I want to say thank you to Dr. Alexis and her team for helping me get back to my normal, healthy lifestyle. I know that with their help, my recovery was much quicker and easier working with the whole team. Thank you all.

Perfect in Every Way

It’s not often you find a physicians’ group that is perfect in every way. I feel so lucky to have found University Orthopaedics, especially Dr Baione. As a nurse, I searched for a long while and spoke with many people before I settled on this group. The office staff, physicians’ assistants, physical therapists and PT assistants were all top-notch and encouraging throughout my rehab! Special thanks to Jessica Spivey, who was always encouraging throughout my recovery! Thank you UOA!!!

Gave Me My Life Back

I wanna start up by saying that I would like to thank the entire UOA staff, and especially Dr. William Baione gave me my life back after right hip replacement surgery. They are truly a great healthcare organization. I would like to thank Michael, Dana, Staciey and the rest of the PT staff for all their help and getting me back on my feet. They are truly an inspiration and care a lot. I would not have liked to have my hip issue treated by any other organization, except UOA! Thank you again for all that you do and God bless!

No Knee Pain

Thank you Dr. Harwood, Maggie Turek, and Megan Kress. It was difficult and painful walking. Now, there is no knee pain, only healing. The physical therapy is an important part of recovery. Thanks Maggie and Megan for bringing me through a difficult process.
