If you’re looking for a physical therapist who combines deep knowledge with genuine compassion, I highly recommend UOA and Stephen Pavoni.
From start to finish, my experience with University Orthopaedic Associates was excellent. When I first called to make my appointment, the woman who helped me was friendly, patient, and very helpful — a great first impression.
When I arrived for my visit, the front desk staff was warm and welcoming. They even thanked me for completing my paperwork online, which was a nice and thoughtful gesture.
Dr. Doumas’ nurse was also very kind and made me feel at ease. The X-ray technician was professional and efficient, and everything moved along smoothly.
Dr. Doumas was outstanding — he took the time to show me my X-rays, explain exactly what was going on with my shoulder, and performed a thorough exam. His clear communication and attention made me feel confident in the care I was receiving.
After the visit, I emailed to request access to the patient portal, and Erica Reyes, the EMR Manager, responded immediately with clear instructions. She was also friendly and professional.
Overall, the staff at University Orthopaedic Associates was far more friendly and professional than what I’ve experienced at Seaview Orthopaedics. Hopefully, I won’t need too many appointments in the future — but if I do, I’ll be more than happy to return, knowing I’ll be treated with such kindness and respect.
I had a torn meniscus that Dr. Beiro successfully addressed with surgery, but my healing journey was longer than usual because of other unforeseen medical complications. However,
the incredible physical therapy team at the Morganville office—Mike, Dana, and the rest—made all the difference. Their balanced, knowledgeable approach, knowing when to push and when not to, combined with their constant kindness and smiles, ensured proper healing and a great overall experience. I’m now well on my way to resuming my active lifestyle.
I also want to acknowledge the front office staff, who are consistently helpful and accommodating. Thank you to everyone! Today marked my “graduation” from physical therapy, and I will truly miss you all!
I want to give a shout out to the great team at the Somerset location. Everyone from the ladies at the front desk to everyone who helped me on the floor were so nice, friendly and attentive. Karin welcomed me with her warmth and expertise. I felt that she was going to do everything she could to help me. Her great advice on moving forward will stay with me always. She and all the staff that helped me were right there, helping me through my journey. I am feeling GREAT now thanks to all! Thanks again for all the support and great work of Karin and your staff. I pray I will be fine moving forward, but if by chance I ever have to return, it will be right back at the Somerset location
My therapist had a great attitude and was truly caring about my recovery. He focused on technique and was fully trained. I would not have relief from my back pain today if I didn’t have his help and guidance. He was the best!
Thank you Lucas!!

This was the second time using UOA for physical therapy. Bravo, both Ben and Lucas were exceptional. Ben provided therapy after a hip transplant and Lucas most recently for my foot. I can’t say enough about their kindness, knowledge and dedication to the patient. UOA will always be my top choice for physical therapy. Ben and Lucas go above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcomes. Thank you UOA, Ben and Lucas!

After undergoing surgery on my quadricep tendon, I began physical therapy with a lot of uncertainty and concern about my recovery. From day one, Mike—my physical therapist—was incredibly helpful, patient, encouraging, and understanding. He took the time to explain each step of the process, adjusted my treatment as needed, and motivated me through the tough days. Over the past four months, I’ve seen tremendous progress and am now fully recovered, thanks to his guidance and support. I’m truly grateful for the care I received and highly recommend this physical therapy practice to anyone in need of compassionate, knowledgeable treatment. You’ll be in great hands!
