In November 2025 I had a TKR. I had hurt my knee in August and was on crutches till my surgery date in November. I was not in the best shape when I had my surgery. I had complications with my surgery which delayed me having PT. By the time I went for PT at UOA in Wall, I had very limited movement. Jessica DeFrancesco worked with me Monday to Friday along with other members of the team there. All being very supportive, kind, and friendly. I really struggled with the recovery and ended up having a manual manipulation, as my range of motion was just stuck at 85%. I returned to PT the same day of the manipulation and was greeted by Jessica, who talked me through everything, explained everything that was going on in my knee and she worked out a schedule for me. She is very knowledgeable. Very patient. And when she sees you are struggling with an exercise, she works out a different way to achieve the results you need. I would Recommend 100% UOA at Wall, Jessica, and all the team there are absolutely amazing. Also I can not say enough about all the receptionists, they too go above and beyond to do everything they can to get the appointments and times that you need. I really appreciate everything that all the staff did for me in the time I was going there. I actually now miss going.
I had a great experience with UOA! Arthritic knees are never fun, but I received great care from both Dr. Patel and from Maggie Turek, who was my physical therapist. Dr. Patel was great at discussing options and providing context for the choices I needed to make relative to my care. And Maggie helped me feel better and be more mobile without pain. She is a talented and compassionate therapist and a terrific listener. She kept my therapy and exercise plan lined up to how I was feeling and provided many suggestions for things I should (and should NOT) do to feel better. And it’s great to always be greeted with a smile and a positive attitude at each visit. I’m feeling better than I have in quite a while and am very grateful for the care I received at UOA!

I just want to start by saying the entire staff at UOA has been wonderful. I arrived in a wheelchair, unable to walk, and with the work done by Lucas Suydam, I started walking out on my own two feet. Lucas did an amazing job and was tough but very patient. A complete professional but keeping a lighthearted atmosphere. Also, a shoutout to his assistants, Kya and Antonio. A-plus all around. 100% recommend to anyone

I honestly don’t know where to begin. When I first arrived at UOA I could not lift my right arm at all. Not even half way. Well today I have graduated and my right arm and shoulder couldn’t feel better. I have full extension and I can throw a ball again. Had a catch with my son even. The Man the Myth the Legend of all physical Therapists Lucas Suydam got my shoulder back to 100%. Seriously he is great at what he does. Thanks again Lucas. Arm and shoulder couldn’t be better and it’s all because of you. One more thing. Here’s the best part. I’m 69 years old. And my shoulder feels 29 years old. UOA. BEST AROUND 4 SURE

I went to Lindsay with a unique pain radiating through my entire left side. I’d been to several specialists as well as other physical therapists. Through working with her, my DO, (and doing assigned homework), I’ve made a lot of progress. Lindsay was able to work with me and not only help but work to make things tougher on me with amplifications of exercises when I needed it. She also carefully read through notes my DO would put into the portal to ensure they were working together on my goals. I feel better than I have in almost a year.
Steve is such a great therapist. I got plantar fasciitis; he worked very hard to get me back in shape. Walking is much better. I recommend him; if you need a good therapist. Great job Steve👍🏻

KUDOS to Michael, Dana and entire staff at UOA, Morganville, NJ for a job well done!!
You both knew exactly what type of physical therapy I needed to get my shoulder back to health, after having a shoulder arthroplasty. You’ve given me back my independence!! I’m truly grateful!
