In April, I had knee surgery for a complex meniscus tear performed by Dr. Beiro at University Orthopaedic Associates in Avenel, UOA’s Woodbridge location. Ben Glider, the experienced and skilled physical therapist at UOA’s Center for Rehabilitation and Sports Excellence, which is located right next door to UOA, helped me regain the knee strength that I had lost. From the time of my knee injury and continuing after the surgery, I had great difficulty going down steps. Thanks to Ben’s care, I now can go down steps much more easily. Ben also gave me a printed program of exercises to continue doing at home. He was personable and professional and provided encouragement when needed. I highly recommend him.
I must say, I like the fact that you can meet with your doctor and go right next-door to physical therapy -big plus. After some healing time from the surgery, I was introduced to Lindsay Balint, my physical therapist for the next six months. In the beginning, I could barely lift my arm but with Lindsey‘s funny and great attitude for recovery, I was able to achieve the goals she set forth. By understanding my personal strengths and weaknesses, I was able to walk out doing everything that I did before the accident. Thank you so much, Lindsey.
PS. Everyone in Avenel, from the secretaries to the other physical therapists and aids were all professional and friendly.
First I would like to thank Dr Michael Lu and his team for being so patient and thoughtful during this operation, especially his calls following up on my well-being. I will also like to thank Raritan Bay Medical Center and the team of nurses, especially Nurse Cruz in the operating area that attended to my every need. Everything went smoothly from parking to registration, lab and Preop/recovery to discharge. I would highly recommend Dr. Lu.
I worked with Sara in physical therapy at UOA right after I had extensive back surgery. I established a good rapport with her and had a very positive experience during my rehabilitation. When I inquired about personal training post physical therapy, I was informed about Sara’s new personal training program. I have to say I am extremely happy with this training. Sara is positive, professional and very enthusiastic about assisting me reach my fitness goals. Sara has already improved my strength, mobility, endurance, and self-esteem!

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!
Amanda has been excellent! Caring comes to her naturally. She is a good people person. She took good care and made me extremely comfortable. Her treatment is exceptional and she went the extra mile to ensure I received good care. Thank you! Keep it up!

I can’t fully express how excellent the outcome of my surgery and my occupational therapy was at UOA! I had total shoulder replacement surgery. Dr. Monica explained the procedure and answered all of my questions patiently and thoughtfully. Amanda was outstanding throughout my occupational therapy. I highly recommend her!
I had a great experience with your physical therapist, Steve Pavoni. Steve was able to take me to the level of physical therapy, sports performance. Also, he was able to help with my exercise “form” and we “tweaked” my stretching routine. Thank you to STEVE!
Stephen provided excellent PT. He challenged me when he knew I was ready. He pushed me and provided me with exercises to do at home. I would highly recommend him!
