Dr. Baione and the entire team took excellent care of me, from the consultation phase all the way through physical therapy. Having both hips replaced at one time was a little intimidating but, I’m so glad I made that choice! At only 8 weeks post-surgery, I’m moving freely and getting stronger every day! 5 stars all day long….thanks everyone!

After 3 left knee surgeries from another orthopedic doctor and left severely disabled with no more patella tendon, Dr. Kayiaros repaired the knee with the 4th surgery. I truly believe his hands were blessed by God. I’m walking now! He also replaced my right hip a few years ago. It is perfect! Thank you Dr. Kayiaros.

After much research, I chose Dr. Stephen Kayiaros as my surgeon for a total hip replacement. I feel better leaving the hospital than I felt walking in. Post surgery pain was extremely well managed. The debilitating pain I suffered from arthritis is completely gone. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kayiaros. His list of credentials is extensive. His personality is very calm and comforting. Before I had surgery, I had to rely on a walker and now, I am regaining, my life and my freedom. I never thought that I could say that a hospital stay and Surgery was wonderful, but this was. My thanks and appreciation to Dr. Kaiyaros. his staff, the hospital, the nurses and everyone that was involved in my care.

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!

I suffered with a bad back for many years. It caused severe sciatic pain going down my entire leg. I had multiple shots in my back and I completed PT. I thought I completely recovered and the pain eventually returned.
I have lived with constant pain for many years since. I started to believe that I was going to be like this for the rest of my life. I was still working full-time at a physical job. I was taking two arthritis strength Tylenol twice a day with Aleve. By the end of the day, I couldn’t put weight on my leg and I was dragging it behind me. I was even uncomfortable when I was sitting.
I saw Dr. Ravi Verma at UOA to check my back. He took an x-ray and told me my hip was in bad shape. He directed me to Dr. William Baione.
I saw Dr. Baione and he could immediately see that I needed a hip replacement by the way I was walking. I told him how much pain I was living with. It felt good to know that someone actually knew what I was going through. He was very kind and compassionate. He told me he was going to fix me and give me my life back.
Dr. Baione performed a total anterior hip replacement. The surgery took 45 minutes. He replaced the joints through the front, which is less invasive/painful and it speeds up the recovery time. I was walking without a cane within 5 weeks. I was cleared to go back to work in two months. I’m 48 years old.
I can walk normally again without any pain. I have full range of motion again. I can put my socks on without help. I can get in my car without lifting my leg with my arm. I can also kneel, bend and squat. I mowed my lawn for the first time in years without any pain. I also no longer take any pills for pain.
I will always be very grateful to Dr. Baione for helping me. He really did give me my life back. If I described you or someone you know, see Dr. Baione. He can change your life too!
I had bilateral knee replacement with Dr. Kayiaros. Now, post-op, I’m doing wonderfully and no longer in need of my cane. I’m delighted with my experience and the treatment I received from Dr. Kayiaros, Lauren Stull and the entire UOA team! Word on the street is that Dr. Kayiaros and UOA are the very best. I can attest to this! I highly recommend them and I’m so blessed that he was able to do my surgeries.

I have never seen an office run as smoothly as Dr. Baione’s. Kim Phillips, surgical coordinator and administrative assistant went above and beyond to make sure my surgery was scheduled. Dr. Baione did a great job. I recovered quickly from hip surgery, and I am so happy with the results.
I had a full hip replacement in November 2018. My surgeon was Dr. Harwood. It was a great experience. I tell people about this all the time. All doctors I have met here are the best. I am very happy and pleased with the services.
I would like to express my appreciation to Dr. Baione. I came to Dr. Baione form a previous Orthopaedic doctor that was not handling my infection from his knee replacement promptly. Within a week, Dr. Baione had me in the hospital to remove the infected knee prosthetic and on the proper antibiotic. Dr. Baione has seen me through the most difficult health issue of my life. I can’t thank him enough for his prompt and proactive attention to me.
