I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience l had at UOA. Professional staff that are experienced and friendly. From booking appointments to taking care of insurance needs at the front desk to the ease I felt with my physical therapist Michael. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions in depth, he was such a nice friendly person. Everyone at the Morganville office was excellent and l highly recommend this office for your needs from Doctors to PT.

In April of 2023, I made an appointment with Dr. Verma who specializes in back and neck. He suggested lower lumbar fusion. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, and what to expect as my physician. I felt like he was talking to me as a friend, not as a doctor. I could not feel more comfortable with the decision to go through with the surgery. I was laid up for 3 1/2 months within that time to get me back up and going. He suggested Michael Phelan for physical therapy. Michael knew I was in construction and knew exactly what needed to be done and got me back on my feet. Let’s not forget Tara and Donna at the Morganville office; all the people that I mentioned felt like family, not just a regular doctor’s office. I could not speak any more highly of the professionalism at the Morganville office.
I went to the University Orthopaedic Associates for physical therapy. My therapist Joesph Abadir was very knowledgeable and helped me get back to my everyday living. The staff are super friendly and you feel welcome from the minute you walk in the door. After the 6 weeks, I was able to get back to my daily activities. I am so happy and would 100% recommend them knowing how important they treat each patient knowing the need to improve and recover.

After spraining my ankle and having the pain for almost a year, UOA was the best therapy place I have found. I’m so happy that after a year my ankle is much better and I’m able to do things such as Pilates, hiking and yoga. Thank you to Michael Phelan, Mateo and all the staff at UOA for taking care of me.
After knee replacement surgery, I started to see Lindsey at the Woodbridge location. Lindsey was great! She listened to my needs and helped me get back to my life. I set a goal and she did everything to help me achieve it and beyond. Everyone at UOA was friendly and caring. Judy, Lindesy’s aide, became someone I looked forward to seeing each visit. She was energetic and engaging with every aspect of her job. Now that my time is over with them, I will continue to use the exercises and techniques they taught me. Thank you everyone for getting me back on my feet!
The staff at the Center for Rehabilitation and Sports Excellence in Somerset are some the most knowledgeable, experienced, empathetic, and kind professionals I have ever worked with. In particular, Anne and Megan, worked with me after full knee replacement surgery to increase my range of motion and build up my strength in this leg. By the time I was finished, they had me walking without any issues in this leg. Everyone on staff is extremely aware of what you have just gone through with your surgery and the entire team works to get you fully mobile again. The best physical therapy facility I have ever worked with.
UOA Woodbridge are rockstars! From their Staff and Doctors to their Physical Therapists, they made my personal injury easy to recover from. Their modern technology and office space bring you a natural calm that you’re in good hands. I saw Dr. Schafer and physical therapist Megan Varela for my badly sprained ankle. As this was my first time ever being traumatized by pain, they both put me at ease with a program that I was comfortable with. UOA is a one-stop shop for all orthopedic needs! I highly recommend UOA and if I do have any more injuries in my future they will be my first call.

I could not have asked for a better experience. It started with Dr. Fleming. He did my ankle replacement surgery. Then PT with Michael Phelan in Morganville. The whole experience was amazing. I now have no pain and can go back to a normal life. I could not be more happy with the care I received. And let’s not forget the staff. Very pleasant and accommodating. Thanks UOA!!
I had a left total knee replaced by Dr. Kayiaros. I waited about four months to have my surgery done by him, because I was told he was the best. Well, he certainly is!! I never had to take any of the pain medications that were prescribed prior to surgery. When I got home the day of the surgery, I was able to walk up 15 steps! Daily phone calls from the Somerset Surgical Center answered any concerns I had. The next two weeks were filled with physical therapists coming to my home and working with me so I was able to return to normal everyday living.
I started my outpatient physical therapy three weeks after my surgery in UOA Avenel. My therapist was Ben Glider. His reviews, posted by others, were so positive that I was excited to start. I have to say that working with Ben was a great experience. He was very professional, knowledgeable, understanding and caring. He also made my sessions enjoyable with his sense of humor. I highly recommend Ben, and the rest of the staff in Avenel, for anyone requiring physical therapy. I am now walking without assistance from any device and pain-free less than two months after my surgery. University Orthopaedic Associates are the best!!
