Thank you!! I could never have imagined being injured as severely as I was, without a doubt, I could not have recovered without the expert therapy programs by Nevean and ALL of the staff. Neveen’s technical knowledge, adaptability and most importantly, positive personality and emotional support, kept me on track and always moving forward. Neveen kept me on track- she was aggressive with it appropriate and handle the “down” times professionally. My Family and I will never forget the treatment Neveen provided physically but more importantly the mental and emotional support she gave!
I would highly recommend University Orthopedic Associates for therapy for anyone who has to have therapy after surgery or therapy that doesn’t require surgery. I have worked with Mohammad and Erin (left knee replacement and later back); Christine (right knee replacement.) The therapists are professional, friendly and show concern for their patients. It was a pleasure working with them and LaToya, the receptionists; they always welcome you with a smile!
I told people the pain was gone. It went away one afternoon and I was able to go back to work in January 2014. I was thinking that I was never going to make it back to work…I can’t say enough good about Dr. Chiappetta. He’s the best doctor I ever had. I just think he’s great.
I’ve got to tell you, he just earns so much respect in my eyes. Sometimes all doctors want to do is cut, to get you under the knife and fix. Dr. McDonnell didn’t jump to that option, but when it came to surgery I learned he is very skilled.
Thank you to Kristine and the staff. It was a very positive experience for my daughter, Shannon. She was injured (knee) during gymnastics and the treatment, exercises and encouragement was outstanding. After 11 sessions she is stronger, pain-free and keeping up with her exercises since she has been discharged. Thanks again!
I thought the Kick Start Program was great! You put together and outstanding 10 day program. The exercises were very challenging, but you managed to make it fun, you were very motivational and we all had great results. You are a very good trainer and I know I wouldn’t have achieved the results I did without you. This program has gotten me back on track to exercising every day and really eating healthy. Thank you for all your time and your commitment to this program. I really loved it and can’t wait to exercise with you again!!!! – Kick Start Program, Fit Express Class Participant
​Blake motivated me to get healthy and in shape the right way! From his sense of humor to his “is your face” attitude there’s nothing not to love about him. I have never dieted before or kept up with a workout. He was helpful with suggesting different recipes and at home exercise ideas! He educated all of us and took time out of his busy schedule to help out! I would highly recommend him for any kind of personal training or just getting the motivation you need! – Kick Start Program, Fit Express, Ab Attack Class Participant
I started working with Blake as an alternative to a traditional physical therapy program. Blake was able to develop a fantastic program for my primary concerns as well as a comprehensive total body workout. The sessions are demanding, yet rewarding. You can really feel yourself getting stronger everyday. Overall, the sports performance program has been great and I will be coming back for any further physical therapy needs.

I strongly recommend Dr. Matthew McDonnell and University Orthopedics Associates. Due to a large herniated disc in my lower back, I was in excruciating pain and could barely walk, but immediately after surgery, I was able to walk and move on with my life free of pain. I was incredibly pleased with the professionalism and personal care I received from Dr. McDonnell throughout the entire ordeal.
Facing potential spine surgery, I oped to give physical therapy a try first, knowing very well it might not provide the results I wanted. My therapist Kristine did my evaluation and put together a program for use at UOA and at home. It was difficult at times but Kristine encouraged me to stick with it and I’m so glad I did. After 4 weeks I noticed an improvement; I had less pain doing my normal activities and so we extended the therapy to 6 more weeks. I’ve since returned to playing golf and other activities with minimal pain afterwards. I continue to use her therapy program at a local fitness center and at home. I would not hesitate to use UOA again and recommend them to anyone.
