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.
I could not have asked for a better experience. It started with Dr. Fleming. He did my ankle replacement surgery. Then PT with Michael Phelan in Morganville. The whole experience was amazing. I now have no pain and can go back to a normal life. I could not be more happy with the care I received. And let’s not forget the staff. Very pleasant and accommodating. Thanks UOA!!
I had a left total knee replaced by Dr. Kayiaros. I waited about four months to have my surgery done by him, because I was told he was the best. Well, he certainly is!! I never had to take any of the pain medications that were prescribed prior to surgery. When I got home the day of the surgery, I was able to walk up 15 steps! Daily phone calls from the Somerset Surgical Center answered any concerns I had. The next two weeks were filled with physical therapists coming to my home and working with me so I was able to return to normal everyday living.
I started my outpatient physical therapy three weeks after my surgery in UOA Avenel. My therapist was Ben Glider. His reviews, posted by others, were so positive that I was excited to start. I have to say that working with Ben was a great experience. He was very professional, knowledgeable, understanding and caring. He also made my sessions enjoyable with his sense of humor. I highly recommend Ben, and the rest of the staff in Avenel, for anyone requiring physical therapy. I am now walking without assistance from any device and pain-free less than two months after my surgery. University Orthopaedic Associates are the best!!
Dr. Harwood and team replaced my hip and gave me my life back! After 4 weeks I attended the BottleRock Music Festival and now, about 12 weeks out, I am almost 100%
