After much research, I chose Dr. Stephen Kayiaros as my surgeon for a total hip replacement. I feel better leaving the hospital than I felt walking in. Post surgery pain was extremely well managed. The debilitating pain I suffered from arthritis is completely gone. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kayiaros. His list of credentials is extensive. His personality is very calm and comforting. Before I had surgery, I had to rely on a walker and now, I am regaining, my life and my freedom. I never thought that I could say that a hospital stay and Surgery was wonderful, but this was. My thanks and appreciation to Dr. Kaiyaros. his staff, the hospital, the nurses and everyone that was involved in my care.

I had bilateral knee replacement with Dr. Kayiaros. Now, post-op, I’m doing wonderfully and no longer in need of my cane. I’m delighted with my experience and the treatment I received from Dr. Kayiaros, Lauren Stull and the entire UOA team! Word on the street is that Dr. Kayiaros and UOA are the very best. I can attest to this! I highly recommend them and I’m so blessed that he was able to do my surgeries.

This past Sunday, for the first time in ten years I went skiing. Without the bi-lateral hip replacement from June 2020, this wouldn’t have been remotely possible. I want to thank Dr. K and the entire staff for literally getting me back on my feet again.
P.S. I will be 68 in a month!
It was with much gratitude that I can say that Dr. Stephen Kayiaros has been my orthopaedic physician for the last 7 years, providing me with outstanding medical care. His warm and caring nature has provided me with the utmost confidence in placing myself in his care.
Dr. Kayiaros was great as usual! I am able to walk without the terrible pain that I had in my left hip. He also replaced my right hip 7 years ago and I had the same results. Pain – gone! I am 81 years old and he has definitely improved the quality of my life. Ben Glider in Physical Therapy is such a caring professional, I was glad to work with him. He stressed the importance of continuing to get stronger which I am doing.
After anterior total hip replacement by Dr. Kayiaros I did rehab at UOA. I did 10 sessions and was released. I am now walking without any pain. I am very pleased and would recommend UOA any time.
I recently underwent full hip replacement surgery using the anterior approach performed by Dr. Stephen Kayiaros of University Orthopaedic Associates. My experience from beginning to end can only be described as excellent. It’s a modern, up-to-date practice with a very friendly, professional and caring staff. The information was generous and there were always people available and happy to help with any questions or needs I had. Prep, procedure and recovery were all I could hope for and I’m delighted to again be able to walk and go about normal life pain-free. Thank you, Dr. Kayiaros and UOA, from a very happy patient!
It can be overwhelming when trying to find the “right” doctor. I prayed for guidance and was led to Dr. Kayiaros. From the moment I entered the office, I knew I made the right decision. The staff was so friendly, attentive, and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Kayiaros sets the lead for the staff as he was great….attentive, understanding, and very personable. I truly felt like I was an individual, and that he cared about my needs and issues. We decided on hip replacement surgery after he carefully educated me about all of the options. He provided details of the surgery. I really had a very good understanding of what to expect.
I also have to commend Saaby Ross, Dr. Kayiaros administrative assistant. She took care of everything. It was amazing. After contacting her and deciding on a date for the surgery, I received a packet explaining everything I needed to do as well as a very helpful FAQ. It made the whole process so easy and efficient. Every contact I had with Saaby was professional, efficient and wonderful. She is a treasure and made my experience so much less stressful.
I also would like to commend the team that was part of my surgery. The nurses, the anesthesiologist, and of course Dr. Kayiaros. The team made me comfortable and relaxed. I felt truly confident that I was in good hands. The surgery went beautifully, and recovery was amazing. I am so very happy that I made the decision to have the surgery and that I had the surgery with Dr. Kayiaros and his team. They are truly an amazing team that you want with you when going through a major surgery like hip replacement. Thank you to every person on this team for all you did to help me.
I wanted to take the time to write this testimonial because I felt it was the very least I could do to thank Dr. Kayiaros and his PA, Lauren Stull, for all they did for me! I will be forever grateful to them for giving me my mobility back. In early October 2017, I had the anterior approach left hip replacement surgery.
Five years earlier, I had the posterior approach on my right hip by a different doctor (now retired) and what a difference in my pain level, my recovery and my immediate mobility because of the anterior approach and Dr. K’s skill.
I would suggest the anterior approach to anyone for whom it’s viable! I was discharged from the hospital the next day after the surgery and was a little tentative but I was able to walk to my bedroom, that night, to the second floor! In home P.T. started the following day and lasted two weeks until outpatient PT. Even still, I was able to get around in my home very well and the pain was very tolerable. I do have a high tolerance for pain but this was SO much less pain than with the posterior approach.
From the moment, my wife and I went to UOA, we really loved it. You will notice a huge difference like we did. The entire process of paperwork, scheduling of appointments, pre-surgery paperwork, the surgery, etc., is managed SO well. It’s really unlike any other doctor’s office I’ve been to. Of course, having surgery and preparing for it, can be very stressful. UOA took that stress away.
In addition, we had a few questions prior to the surgery and ALWAYS received a prompt call back from Dr. K’s efficient PAA (who’s name escapes me right now but she was wonderful too). This office is a well-oiled machine!!
It is now three months past my surgery and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I am so glad that I found such a wonderful surgeon to relief all the pain I was suffering with. I’m back to being out and about and able to enjoy life and walking without pain any more.
Lauren was also very compassionate and kind. She gives you all the time needed to ask/answer questions and you don’t feel rushed in any way while in their offices.
I am so pleased with my outcome and it’s my pleasure to recommend and suggest that you contact Dr. Kayiaros’ office if needed!!
