I am 64 yrs old and Dr. McDonnell performed a decompression and fusion surgery Dec 1st. I can’t praise him enough as this is the first time since childhood I am 99% pain free! I feel I have a new lease on life. Besides being a skilled surgeon he has a caring manner. I know I can look ahead to an active retirement.

Lou DeRoma was lifting his customary weight bar when he suddenly went numb from the neck down. As his symptoms remained, he was left with the question: What if I don’t get better? Then, he found Dr. Gino Chiappetta at UOA, who in a one-day surgical procedure at UCAScured DeRoma of a potentially life-threatening condition. “I’m able to hold my children again and feel them in my arms. That’s a great feeling,” concludes DeRoma. Listen to his dramatic story.
…That’s how Dr. Jeffrey R. Bechler of UOA describes his role as head orthopaedic consultant for Princeton University’s football team. And that’s exactly what happened during Mike Zeuli’s freshman year game. When the pile on top of Zeuli dismantled, Bechler could see the player’s leg bent at an unnatural 90-degree angle from all the way across the field. Watch the story of Zeuli, who with Bechler’s help, went on to become the 2014 Ivy League Co-Defensive Player of the Year and then later sign a rookie minicamp deal with the NFL Philadelphia Eagles in 2015…
I had been in pain for over 2 years and had many shots and have taken many medications. It wasn’t until I was referred to Dr.McDonnell by my pain management Dr. that I finally found hope for relief of the pain I was feeling in my neck and arm. I saw Dr McDonnell and as soon as he saw my MRI he knew I needed surgery ASAP to get any real relief from the pain I was having. His office scheduled my surgery two weeks from the day I met with him.
Today is day 3 after surgery I have some soreness but the pain in my arm is gone! Dr McDonnell is the best if you have pain please don’t wait and call his office to get a appt. With him he will make you feel like yourself again. HE IS THE BEST AND ONE OF THE BEST CHOICES I EVER MADE WAS TO MEET WITH HIM. THANK YOU DR MCDONNELL!
I first saw him when he came to me in the emergency room. He exuded energy, positivity and warmth. Dr. Polonet was very concerned with my pain level. He made sure that I was comfortable. He’s very sincere with his smile. A God-fearing man. God sent him to me. I was afraid and he reassured me and a made me feel comfortable. I felt confident in what he was going to do. In about 8 to 10 weeks, I was healed by his hand and God’s hand. Had it not been for Dr. Polonet, I would not have healed. I could not have asked for a better doctor. If I ever fall again, wherever he is, he has to come to me.
The week of Thanksgiving, 2015, Dr. Stephen Kayiaros performed my bilateral anterior total hip replacement (those are my new hips in the X-ray). I chose him for his impressive background and his experience, as well as his caring and compassionate nature.
I had been in excruciating pain for ages and was walking slowly with a cane. I felt like a miserable, enfeebled old woman. I was confident that Dr. Kayiaros and this surgery were right for me.
It wasn’t long after the procedure that I was pain free and walking unaided! Dr. Kayiaros gave me my life back, and I feel like he restored my youth! I can once again enjoy exploring outdoors and dancing, and I’m finally able to be a very active volunteer at Monkey’s House, a Dog Hospice and Sanctuary (www.monkeyshouse.org)! Anything seems possible now!
Hip-hip-hooray, thank you, Dr. K.!
My experience with UOA has been more than positive. Interactions with staff members signify integrity and caring.
My experience with UOA PT was very positive. The atmosphere is very calming and peaceful. Facility, clean and new. Jess was very professional and attentive. Kendall was very efficient and very kind and both were very nice people. Both very flexible with accommodating my schedule. Always love one-on-one attention and no wait.
