UOANJ of Somerset has been a very pleasant experience. Everyone was very cordial, Especially Rosaura Vega who was very pleasant on the phone and took her time to explain certain things. I highly recommend this facility.

Dr. Baione Did an absolutely fabulous job on my knee replacement I was extremely nervous going into this and my impression originally was not the greatest, but I have to say that he did an amazing fabulous job. The staff worked with everything even me being nervous about the procedure. I would highly recommend it to anybody looking to replace a joint and is nervous about it due to arthritis. Do not wait it will be the best decision you have ever made. I am only maybe four or five hours postop and I’m already moving and actually doing the physical therapy helps with my pain so I would definitely recommend this Doctor for future replacements because he does a very good job a thorough job and he came and talk to me himself so I was very much appreciated that and I very much appreciate the Care and time he took to go over things with me even when it was the same things he’s been over with me 1000 times I absolutely 100% appreciated the fact that he took the time

Lucas is worth his weight in gold!! After a TKR, I started my rehab at a (different) major NJ hospital and I was not doing well. I made some progress but I had plateaued.
On a recommendation, I started seeing Lucas 6 weeks post surgery and I could feel the difference right away. He is an amazing therapist – knowledgeable, caring, and super helpful! I truly owe my recovery to him.
I would like to add a word of gratitude to Kaya. She is the silent type and she is most kind, helpful, and super-efficient.

I’m a 71-year-old male who has dealt with a lower back problem for about 15 years. I worked predominantly with Ryan Kay Ryan led me through a program of stretching and core strengthening over about 8 visits. I found him to be very personable and knowledgeable. He and his colleagues were very motivating. His program has worked extremely well and I am feeling much better than when I started about six weeks ago. I recently injured my shoulder and will be returning to UOA for more therapy soon. I look forward to another great experience.

Hurt both my legs on different occasions, one surgery one without. They helped me get back to normal it takes time and a lot of work but just trust the doctors do the exercises and you can get better.

Lucas, I had a wonderful experience working with you during my ACL recovery. From the very beginning, he was patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. He took the time to explain the exercises clearly and always made sure I was comfortable while gradually pushing me to improve. Even during my home exercises when it felt like I cannot do this, his words from previous sessions pushed me further. Now my life feels easier again after a long battle.
I really appreciated his professionalism and the positive attitude he brought to every session. I’ve made great progress during my time with him, and I’m very grateful for all the support and guidance he provided throughout my recovery.
I would highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated physical therapist. Lucas, I told you on the very first session that you are the best and I would say that any day without a doubt. Thank you, Lucas, for everything.
Thank you again to the wonderful caring PT team at UOA. This time I was there for my foot /ankle. Anne and Dante helped me on the road to regain my strength and also made my pain go away. UOA is the best!!

Lucas Suydam is an exceptional physical therapist. His expertise, personalized approach, and effective treatment techniques significantly improved my quality of life and helped me avoid surgery. Throughout my recovery, he was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in my progress. I am incredibly grateful for his care and highly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding physical therapy.
Dr Pushilin is the best doctor. I had a spiral fracture of the tibia, fibula and broken ankle. Dr Pushilin was kind, knowledgeable, and an amazing surgeon. He explained clearly my initial injury, the surgical procedure and what my healing process would entail. The healing progressed exactly the way he said it would. Today, except for a small scar, you can’t tell my leg was ever broken and I have been able to resume all my previous activities. Thank you so much for Dr Pushilin.

I just wanted to say thank you, Dr. Polonet, for an excellent job on the surgery you did on my leg in 2008. Still good. It’s now 2026. Thank you for saving my leg. Thank you so very much.
