This was my first time having to do PT. I was a bit uneasy about what would be required of me. Dean and his staff put me at ease. Dean explained “everything” to me and gave me guidance and support with each exercise and machine. Many thanks to Billy and Brian for watching over and setting up my exercises to the right level. They were always around and making sure I did the exercise right. Also thank you to the front staff who made scheduling a snap! My entire experience was so positive!
I sincerely appreciated the personal attention I received from the entire staff. My appointments were on time, which was important to me. The therapy I received was intense but it was so rewarding. I’ve had therapy with another center but UOA cannot be matched! UOA will definitely be my referral to others.
p.s Dino is an awesome therapist, thank you!
In 1979 I had major surgery (MacKay Section) on my knee. Following Physical Therapy I was only able to bend my knee approximately 90 degrees. Well 37 years later and after only 8 sessions with Dean I was able to bend it 105 degrees. Dean was patient, knowledgable and a master of these metal torture devices (Gaston Technique) that he used to break up scar tissue. He used massage therapy, stretching, manual manipulation and traditional weight resistance. But Through his persistance, hard work and deligence I now have less pain and a greater range of motion…..Thanks Deano….
Before coming to UOA I was treated at 2 other facilities unsuccessfully. I was then referred to UOA, specifically to Dino Pinciotti., PT, the director of the PT department. I gave him a complete history of what was going on and the treatment I had received. He said he was sure he could help me and he did. I told my P.A. at Pain Management to send other people without hesitation.
My outpatient therapy for knee replacement lasted two months with UOA.
It was sometimes demanding and exhausting but I made steady progress in a friendly patient atmosphere. Thank you Dino.
My experience with UOA was positive from its inception to completion. The expertise and care I received from Dr. Harwood and Robert Wood began my journey toward good health. Dino Pinciotti with his knowledge, care and patience left me with a quality of life I had not experienced in many years. Each day my functioning improves. Kudos to the therapy center. Thank you all.
My orthopedist recommended physical therapy for my knee problem. I was greeted with a smile and a handshake, by Dino Pinciotti, PT. This immediately put me at ease. Following an evaluation, we discussed a program to bring me to a point where I can function with minimal discomfort. He also gave me a detailed exercise program to do at home. He answered my questions and concerns. Everyone was friendly, yet professional. This was a very positive experience and I highly recommend UOA-PT, without hesitation. 4/30/17
I want to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to UOA and specifically Dino Pinciotti. Dino is extremely knowledgeable in his field and explained every detail of my injury (left shoulder rotation) and the course of treatment he was recommending. He comes across very passionate in what he does and seems to enjoy it. It is Dino’s “bedside manners” that makes you feel so at ease and comfortable when he treats you. He’s funny and takes pride in understanding your injury. I would highly recommend Dino/UOA to others who require PT.
Dean (Dino) was very helpful and professional. He worked me very hard (which was appropriate) and I usually called him my physical tyrant instead of my physical therapist.
I would recommend him highly.
I want to take a moment and tell you about my experience at University Orthopedic Associates in Somerset. My issue was not as serious as many patients that depend on the doctors and physical therapy at UOA but even so Doctor McDonnell took the time and care to examine every possibility that was causing my difficulties. We decided that I should work with the PT staff. When you visit the facilities you are welcomed by informative and friendly girls at the front desk. From my first visit with Lynn and then two months working Kevin I am able to go about life as usual. The professionalism and care that everyone receives here is exceptional. It was interesting to watch each therapist focus on their patients’    requirements as well as interact with each other and communicate ideas. They worked very effectively as a team. The ability to work with patients under stress and provide care with an upbeat attitude is key to anyone’s recovery.  Thank you especially to Kevin, and to Billy who always had the equipment set up correctly for me.
