I suffered multiple fractures in a bicycling accident and was highly traumatized as a result. From my initial treatment by Dr. Sagebien at RWJ I felt I was in good and caring hands. My subsequent follow up at UOANJ further confirmed my impression and my confidence in the care I was receiving. I felt like i was being cared for both as a patient and as a person.
I want to particularly single out nurse practitioner Patricia Seuffert for her expert care and great kindness. One becomes very fragile when one suffers great trauma. At such times the warmth and kindness of your caregivers is especially important. Nurse Seuffort is a gem and a tribute to the office and her profession.
Dr. David Polonet was featured in an article in the Meridian Health magazine about how he helped a women get back to life after a motorcycle accident.
100 better! I don’t have any kind of leg pain and my memory is back completely. I feel like it never even happened.
It takes an entire team to save a life, and Dr. Carlos Sagebien and Dr. Timothy Leddy of UOA were recently part of such a team. Jerry Bartolotti was helicoptered into the Level 1 Trauma Center at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in November 2010. Bartolotti suffered severe chest and arm injuries while attempting to make sure his unmanned rolling truck avoided injuring others. After being pinned between a tree and the truck, it was initially believed Bartolotti had little chance of survival.

“I’ll take that (UOA) staff over the ER any day!” exclaims Stephen Russell, a 71-year-old from Somerset, New Jersey. That’s exactly what Russell was thinking during the painful 24-hour period after a fall that broke his hip.

I injured my shoulder on September 22, 2012 as a result of falling off my mountain bike and I needed surgery on September 23, 2012 to repair my fractured collarbone. I started therapy with another company in November 2012. On February 5th, 2013 I needed a second surgery to remove the plate and pins in my shoulder. I went back to the same therapist but it just wasn’t working. I wasn’t getting better. I decided I needed a change and decided to switch therapists. Based on a recommendation I called UOA and requested Lynn. During my first visit with Lynn I knew right away I made the right decision. She completely changed my program. There was an immediate improvement. She also gave me the confidence to work hard and if I stuck to the program and did my home exercises I would get better and I did. I would highly recommend UOA and Lynn.
