I had a great experience with UOA! Arthritic knees are never fun, but I received great care from both Dr. Patel and from Maggie Turek, who was my physical therapist. Dr. Patel was great at discussing options and providing context for the choices I needed to make relative to my care. And Maggie helped me feel better and be more mobile without pain. She is a talented and compassionate therapist and a terrific listener. She kept my therapy and exercise plan lined up to how I was feeling and provided many suggestions for things I should (and should NOT) do to feel better. And it’s great to always be greeted with a smile and a positive attitude at each visit. I’m feeling better than I have in quite a while and am very grateful for the care I received at UOA!

A few weeks ago on Sunday May the 3rd I participated in the 5 Boro Bike Tour which was a 40 mile bike ride. I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Harwood because this was something that I could not have done before my hip surgeries in January and May of 2025. It was such an amazing feeling to conquer this feat with no pain and I look forward to crushing other challenges that I could not because of being hampered by my arthritis.

I just want to start by saying the entire staff at UOA has been wonderful. I arrived in a wheelchair, unable to walk, and with the work done by Lucas Suydam, I started walking out on my own two feet. Lucas did an amazing job and was tough but very patient. A complete professional but keeping a lighthearted atmosphere. Also, a shoutout to his assistants, Kya and Antonio. A-plus all around. 100% recommend to anyone

I recently received a survey regarding my right shoulder post rotator cuff surgery. There really wasn’t an area to express how completely satisfied I am with the care I received from Dr. Monica. So here goes. I have had trigger finger, carpal tunnel, and rotator cuff surgeries all performed by Dr. Monica. He is an EXCELLLENT Doctor. I don’t ever think about my previous injuries except to realize that I am whole without restrictions and without pain. He is an amazing surgeon. I will always be grateful for the outstanding care I have received from Dr. Monica. He gets 5 stars or A+++. 100% my first choice if I need further care.
I honestly don’t know where to begin. When I first arrived at UOA I could not lift my right arm at all. Not even half way. Well today I have graduated and my right arm and shoulder couldn’t feel better. I have full extension and I can throw a ball again. Had a catch with my son even. The Man the Myth the Legend of all physical Therapists Lucas Suydam got my shoulder back to 100%. Seriously he is great at what he does. Thanks again Lucas. Arm and shoulder couldn’t be better and it’s all because of you. One more thing. Here’s the best part. I’m 69 years old. And my shoulder feels 29 years old. UOA. BEST AROUND 4 SURE

I went to Lindsay with a unique pain radiating through my entire left side. I’d been to several specialists as well as other physical therapists. Through working with her, my DO, (and doing assigned homework), I’ve made a lot of progress. Lindsay was able to work with me and not only help but work to make things tougher on me with amplifications of exercises when I needed it. She also carefully read through notes my DO would put into the portal to ensure they were working together on my goals. I feel better than I have in almost a year.
Steve is such a great therapist. I got plantar fasciitis; he worked very hard to get me back in shape. Walking is much better. I recommend him; if you need a good therapist. Great job Steve👍🏻

KUDOS to Michael, Dana and entire staff at UOA, Morganville, NJ for a job well done!!
You both knew exactly what type of physical therapy I needed to get my shoulder back to health, after having a shoulder arthroplasty. You’ve given me back my independence!! I’m truly grateful!

After struggling with my hip for six months—and dealing with complications from a surgery in Berlin—( I was running the Berlin Marathon and at mile 18 that’s when it happened. I had 2 surgeries in Berlin. 1st to repair the fracture, 2nd to fix the fracture that they caused.)
I finally found Dr. Kayiaros. From the very first visit, I knew I was in the right hands. Before I could even ask my questions, he had already addressed every concern that had been weighing on my mind.
He looked at my situation with confidence and said, “I can fix this.” That moment alone lifted such a heavy weight off my shoulders. For the first time in months, I felt hopeful.
On the day of surgery, everything went exactly as he explained. What truly amazed me was that I was up and walking just a few hours after surgery. That moment meant everything to me.
Dr. Kayiaros is not only highly skilled, but he genuinely cares. He gave me my confidence back and put me on the path to walking again. I am beyond grateful and would recommend him without hesitation.
