I had a total knee joint replacement performed by Dr. Harwood, followed by physical therapy with Mohammed and Lynn. I can’t say enough about the wonderful care I received from start to finish from all of the people at UOA. Mohammed and Lynn were my physical therapists and they were very encouraging, professional, and knowledgeable. My surgery was 12 weeks ago and I feel like a new person with a new life ahead of me. I highly recommend the UOA physical therapists for those who are recovering from total knee joint replacement.
The week of Thanksgiving, 2015, Dr. Stephen Kayiaros performed my bilateral anterior total hip replacement (those are my new hips in the X-ray). I chose him for his impressive background and his experience, as well as his caring and compassionate nature.
I had been in excruciating pain for ages and was walking slowly with a cane. I felt like a miserable, enfeebled old woman. I was confident that Dr. Kayiaros and this surgery were right for me.
It wasn’t long after the procedure that I was pain free and walking unaided! Dr. Kayiaros gave me my life back, and I feel like he restored my youth! I can once again enjoy exploring outdoors and dancing, and I’m finally able to be a very active volunteer at Monkey’s House, a Dog Hospice and Sanctuary (www.monkeyshouse.org)! Anything seems possible now!
Hip-hip-hooray, thank you, Dr. K.!
I have seen over the past years, Dr. Doumas for my elbow injury, and Dr. Chiappetta for back and neck. I am now seeing Dr. Swan for my knee. All are excellent and I highly recommend this group of doctors.
Dr. Swan takes time explaining all procedures and is attentive to all of my problems. I am not an “easy” patient to deal with, but he is very understanding and puts my mind at ease. With Dr. Swan, I feel three is no need for another opinion. I have total confidence in his ability .
Dr. Bechler repaired my right shoulder in 2003 and Dr. Monica repaired my left shoulder in March 2015. Dr. Monica got me healed up and ready to continue my weekend warrior fun of mud races and softball. I was playing ball again in mid-July and did my first mud run (the easy one) the Rugged Maniac (a 5k run with 18 obstacles) in late July. I then prepared for the Tough Mudder that I completed last weekend which was a 10 mile run with 22 obstacles).
2016 I will find my next tough mudder in October but also try my first Spartan Beast which is 12-14 miles, 30-35 obstacles (I may need a doctors note from you so my wife will let me do it)- thanks Dr. Monica !!
Lynn, my therapist was professional, yet caring. Her assessment and instructions were right on target and made my recovery possible in record fashion. My new hip and I deeply appreciate her skills and competency. Additionally, the office staff and physical environment made this a happy and healthy experience.
Lynn,
Thank you kindly for doing such a great job on both of my knees in such a short time. I’m doing just fine with walking and climbing the steps. I will highly recommend you again. Thanks so much!
I had a knee replacement in April. I started physical therapy in May. In July I am now able to walk, climb stairs and am able to perform my daily tasks. Kristine is a great therapist. She would always encourage me. Everyone at University Orthopaedic Associates is great.
Dr. Kayiaros is one of the best doctors in my 78-year-old medical experience. He is caring, thoughtful, and his credentials are beyond impeccable. He has a wonderful personality to go with his expertise as a doctor. He listens, explains, and wants to make sure the patient understands what will occur. I had a hip replacement and I think he is absolutely one of the best doctors i’ve ever encountered. He is so personable and has a fine sense of humor…no orthopaedic surgeon ego! Couldn’t recommend him more highly!
