My total knee replacement was performed by Dr. David Harwood at UOA Surgical Center in Somerset on March 20, 2020. My subsequent physical therapy with Dean (Dino) Pinciotti, PT, Director of UOA Center for Rehabilitation & Sports Excellence is a bright spot in this very challenging year of 2020. I could not have asked for a better physical therapist. Kind, gentle, skilled, attentive and always made sure to push me a little harder each week to be certain that I had the opportunity to get as much flexibility and strength in my surgical leg as possible.
I would remiss if I did not mention the kindness and friendliness of Ryan, Ben, Sara and Jill.
The best P.T. I could have after my eight hip replacement surgeries. Ryan always took care of me. I was very well and carefully attended by him and the whole UOA team. My recovery was sooner than they had told me. I’ve very grateful for them – specifically Ryan.
Working with Ryan was the best physical therapy experience for me in over 10 years. His analysis was very thorough and also – who would believe that I was more capable than I believed. The exercises were simple and very effective. I am proud of my mobility and my confidence in my ability to work with less pain. In all, just treating myself was the best reward – in addition to the strength training of course!
Excellent treatment by Dino. He made you feel comfortable, relaxed. Most of all, after many years of suffering with lower back pain from scoliosis and gradually going down my right thigh, I am now able to stand from any sitting position without pain. I am now at home working for a little more relief on my own thigh.
Ryan was an excellent physical therapist. He is extremely patient, professional and knowledgeable. You can tell Ryan is a unique physical therapist because it is not only a job for him. He is passionate and genuinely cares about his work. He will not leave your questions unanswered or give you unrealistic goals to attain. Ryan simply was the best!
I had a great experience at this facility. Suddenly fracturing my left angle early November made Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s very difficult and physically challenging. Starting physical therapy with Joseph Abadir in January was a great relief. It was a very positive experience. The staff there was great, supportive, and professional. Joe was caring, efficient, patient, effective, and always professional. The exercises he provided while there and to do at home were extremely helpful. My left ankle improved very quickly due to his and the staff’s help. If God forbid, I ever need physical therapy again, this is the place that I will trust with my care again.
I received excellent care and instructions from my Physical Therapist, Joseph Abadir. I believe he aided in my recovery, both quickly and successfully. Excellent staff to assist with my needs as well.
I had a full hip replacement in November 2018. My surgeon was Dr. Harwood. It was a great experience. I tell people about this all the time. All doctors I have met here are the best. I am very happy and pleased with the services.
I had been dealing with serious back issues for many years. I’d seen several doctors and had done PT, epidurals, injections and saw no improvement. Surgery was suggested and we came to Dr. Chiappetta for a 2nd opinion. He suggested a laminectomy and spinal fusion. My recovery has been amazing. Six months post-op I was able to take a 10 mile walk!!! There has been little pain and I feel better than I have in years. Thanks to Dr. Chiappetta, RWJUH and everyone involved.
Greg is the best! The best occupational therapist I ever met. Besides being knowledgeable and being great at what he does, he has a great personality. He makes you feel welcome and comfortable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking occupational therapy. I will miss my appointments with Greg.
