All Testimonials

After having a Total Hip Replacement by Dr. Kayiaros on February 27, 2017, I went for physical therapy at U.O.A for six weeks starting in March 14th. My physical therapist was “Dino” and I can’t say enough good things about him. He was professional and had a wonderful bedside manner, he was very encouraging. I also saw other physical therapists who were just as professional and wonderful to work with even though I was not their primary patient. No matter why you need physical therapy, I highly recommend U.O.A.

The staff at UOA PT was very professional and provided me with an excellent program that was encouraging and interesting. The ladies at the front desk always greeted me with a smile and Billy, the physical therapy assistant was friendly, helpful and accommodating. I especially want to thank Kevin for his attentiveness, patience and caring demeanor. No matter how busy he was, he treated me as if I was his only patient at the time. He always made sure to review the exercises with me and to take his time and engage in friendly conversation when working with me. My knee pain has greatly improved as a result.  I have been through many physical therapy programs, but none were as professional and effective as UOA PT. I would gladly recommend them to anyone I know.

Dino was very helpful and professional. It was a pleasure to have him as my physical therapist. I am feeling much better now and I am grateful and thankful for his help. I will do my best to keep up with the exercises he has designed for me.

My orthopedist recommended physical therapy for my knee problem. I was greeted with a smile and a handshake, by Dino Pinciotti, PT. This immediately put me at ease. Following an evaluation, we discussed a program to bring me to a point where I can function with minimal discomfort. He also gave me a detailed exercise program to do at home. He answered my questions and concerns. Everyone was friendly, yet professional. This was a very positive experience and I highly recommend UOA-PT, without hesitation. 4/30/17

Dr. Kayiaros is one of the best. Honest, explains it all, is quick, professional and one of the nicest doctors that I have come across. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a surgeon.

Had a hip replacement done in June of 2016.  Dr. Kayiaros was my surgeon and he was great.  I never had a bit of pain after the surgery because of his use of the Anterior approach to the operation.  Have spoken with friends and acquaintances who had the surgery done in the older posterior way who had pain throughout the recovery.

At the time, it didn’t seem like such a bad fall. I was able to quickly get back to my feet. The pain in my elbow was really bad and the swollen nature if the dislocation was such that I didn’t even notice the pain in my hip. Over the next week or so, as treatment on the elbow had begun, I begin to notice more and more pain in my right hip and had developed a significant limp.

The initial diagnosis of the hip was a minor fracture of the acetabulum. Physical therapy was the prescribed treatment. After months of PT, it was not getting any better. In fact, the pain was increasing and motion was becoming more restricted. Injections of the hip did not produce any better results. Eventually, the diagnosis came back that the injury to the hip produced a significant onset on existing Osteoarthritis. Before the injury, I never knew the arthritis was present. A total hip replacement was the only answer.

The doctor I was seeing was very good. However, he only did posterior surgery. From what I was able to learn, the anterior approach was the much better way to go. “Everyone” was recommending I travel to Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in NYC. Not being a fan of dealing with travel into the city, not to mention the cost of a trip, I searched for a doctor in my area (Somerset, NJ).

My search led me to Dr. Stephen Kayiaros at University Orthopaedic Associates, right in my town. The fact he had trained at HSS led me to call for an appointment immediately. At my first appointment he confirmed the diagnosis and determined I was a good candidate for outpatient surgery. I must say that I was completely impressed by his knowledge and how he carried himself (despite his very youthful appearance, he knows his stuff!).

The day of the surgery came. I was in surgery at 7:30am and back in my own home by noon. The incision was minimal. The recovery went extremely well. Very quickly I was back to my pre-injury self. My range of motion with the right hip is great. To be able to do the “little things” like putting on my shoes and socks without pain or effort is wonderful.

It’s only been six months but I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Kayiaros and all the staff have been great! From the receptionist when you first walk in the door, to his Physician’s Assistant, to the nurses, to the x-ray technicians, to the insurance specialist, to his assistant who scheduled my surgery, all the way to the final desk… everyone was pleasant and great to deal with, I am very pleased with them all and highly recommend them.

I want to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to UOA and specifically Dino Pinciotti. Dino is extremely knowledgeable in his field and explained every detail of my injury (left shoulder rotation) and the course of treatment he was recommending. He comes across very passionate in what he does and seems to enjoy it. It is Dino’s “bedside manners” that makes you feel so at ease and comfortable when he treats you. He’s funny and takes pride in understanding your injury. I would highly recommend Dino/UOA to others who require PT.

My name is Janette Brindle and I had IT Band Release surgery November 10 2016 with Dr. Swan.  I was seeing him in his Wall office.  I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank him for changing my life. I am successfully back to running.  Prior to meeting Dr. Swan, I was out of the game for a year and a half because of severe iliotibial band pain.  Now, I am pain-free and as happy as ever.  I am including some pictures for Dr. Swan.  After resuming running in January, I started training for the NYC half marathon, which I completed on March 19.  A week later, I ran the 17.75K in Dumfries, VA, which granted me access to the 42nd Marine Corps Marathon in Arlington Virginia on October 22. 2017!  I can’t thank him enough.  Without him, none of these achievements would be possible! You should be proud
