I do not have enough space to say all the good things to say about UOA! From the friendly front desk staff to the amazing Aides! Every moment I felt the staff was on top of everyone’s care. Maggie is one of the kindest humans I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and I know that I would not have recovered as quickly as I did without her. Her encouragement and attentive care showed each time I showed up! 10 out of 10!
I had a partial left hip replacement and went to UOA in Somerset and had Maggie for my physical therapist and considered myself very fortunate to have had her. She worked wonders for me each week, knowing when to push and when to pull back. I am finished with my therapy there, but Maggie gave me some exercises to do at home and I am improving each day and walking without a cane. I have told my friends about UOA and said if they needed therapy that was the place to go and to ask for Maggie. So many thanks again Maggie for your great care!
Maggie Turek is a fantastic therapist! She provided me with all the necessary exercises and tools to recover/rehab from my left Achilles tear. She is very friendly and easy to work with. I enjoyed my time working with her and I am confident that I will recover and get my left Achilles back to normal. Thank you for all your help Maggie!
The entire staff is remarkable. From the moment you enter until you leave. Everyone goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The therapy works! First my ankle and then my knee replacement and now I am walking again. Your program is tailored to your needs. You are treated as a person, not a body part! Highly recommend!!
Lindsey Balint was my physical therapist following knee replacement surgery. I have had many challenges including selling my home and moving and in the middle of all of it, Lindsey helped me through all of these challenges that include balance, lack of strength and pain in the other knee. She was always proactive, addressing every issue and trying to find a solution. She was patient and encouraging and always upbeat!
Thank you Lindsey for all the help you did with my arm. I want to thank you for all the different exercises you showed me and I appreciate the time you took with me. Your assistants there were genuinely nice people and kind.
I am pleased to express my gratitude to everyone who worked with me at UOA. In particular, the PT who was assigned to my case was well informed of my existing condition and she respected my issues. She was competent, efficient, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Also the personnel that assisted her, namely, Jeff and Hannah were wonderful!
Ryan was instrumental in helping me get my strength and range of motion back. Ryan always “listened” and would adjust the treatment and program therapy for the day as needed. I also observed what a great mentor he is to the “therapists” in training – especially with Eric!
I spent about 14 months in physical therapy at University Orthopaedic Associates. I started a couple of months before the decision to have surgery on both shoulders, four months apart, with the first one in November 2020. My twice-a-week routine was always pleasant. From the ladies at the reception desk, to the many assistants that helped me along the way. They should all be commended for such consistency in customer care and support.Â
As for my specific Therapist, Ryan Kay, I can’t say enough about him. I am one who seeks to understand my medical diagnosis and prognosis; (in detail). Not once did Ryan ever hesitate to explain things to me using one of the shoulder models or merely take the time to point out specific causes of pain and areas that required further development. He’d correct my form from way across the room, always ensuring that I avoid further damage. Although I progressed consistently over the past year, a turning point occurred when Ryan realized I backed off my strength training at home (for fear of re-injury) and was only stretching. This was during a period of “rollercoaster” levels of pain, from one day to the next. That’s when he emphasized the need to balance my home efforts to be disciplined in both areas of my development. My recovery for the next three months thereafter was drastic. The pinnacle was November 2nd, when Ryan insisted that I grab my tennis racquet from my car, to hit some serves in the back room. Having grown up on the tennis court and completed at the Division II collegiate level, I was truly overjoyed at the outcome. He actually believed in me more than I did. We ended up filming it to show my family and friends. Mission accomplished. I’m back on the court!
Lastly, (and importantly). I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge Ryan’s care and conscientiousness in tending to other patients beyond just me. Furthermore, his professionalism and warm personality when dealing with other patients, the assistants, students, and the front desk staff did not go unnoticed.Â
All staff were supportive, friendly and knowledgeable, but I must say that all aspects of Ryan’s leadership contributed significantly to my recovery. I couldn’t be more pleased!
Having physical therapy at UOA was a rewarding experience. It also helped alleviate the pain I was experiencing. All the staff were friendly and helpful. In the beginning of therapy, I saw Ben Glider who then introduced me to Ryan Kay before Ben left for the Avenel Office. I completed my sessions with Ryan who was cordial and very professional. He was always concerned that I was not in any pain while doing the exercises and always asked if I was alright. Ryan is an asset to UOA and should I need therapy again I would definitely request him to be my therapist!
