SO this is an UPDATE, as of 03/2025 now my right shoulder is showing signs of wear. We talked at length about my X-Ray and Jay gave me an injections to take away the pain for a little while, or for a while. We won't know until about 3 months. I am 100 % at easy because of how Doc Kalawadia feels about our plan of attack with my shoulder. in less than 24 hours and my shoulder is already feeling better. THANK Dr. Kalawadia!

Dr. Kalawadia performed surgery on my son (16y) for a posterior labral tear from pitching. Everything with the surgery went smoothly - from consult to scheduling to day-of, and my son is making strong progress in his rehab. Dr. Kalawadia was really great about explaining the injury, the surgery, how it was tailored to his specific circumstance and goals (getting back to pitching) and what to expect over time. Very responsive to question as well. Highly recommend!

I have seen Dr. Kalawadia for two issues now; two different knee issues. The first knee issue was a bit out of the norm and he got me back on my feet doing what I love.

i really like this doctor. i truly believes he cares about my situation and my goals to stay active. i may not want to hear it but it's been the best suggestions that have driven results for me. this last time i said to myself, i'm not walking out of there without an MRI. we talked through my symptoms and he was leaning towards a shot. I hate shots BUT he asked more probing questions and once i told him the motions i was making causing the discomfort, he was like we're doing an MRI. BOOM!! he's legit. Fast forward to today as that was months ago. My surgery was today and the pre and post op staff took great care of me. Dr. Kalawadia came to see me before and after 3 weeks after the birth of a son. I believe he cares about me, what he does and why he does it. Class act all the way around.

Jay repaired my ACL 6 weeks ago. Today I have a knee cap back, quad is formed and gaining strength, basically full range of motion. 6 more months until I'm fully recovered, but I can't say enough to recommend Jay and OAA!! Great doctors!

Dr. Kalawadia answered all my questions thoroughly and without making me feel I was taking up too much of his time. The decision whether or not to have a knee replacement is huge-and Dr. Kalawadia patiently talked me through my options.

Dr. Kalawadia is an amazing surgeon, extremely professional and easy to talk to. Give this guy a pay raise, he surely deserves it! I'm trying to keep his initials that he put on my knee before surgery as a memento but unfortunately its starting to wear off.

I met with Dr Kalawadia for an issue with my right knee. My visit was well planned and executed. First stop x-ray then on to see the Doctor. After a brief discussion I received an injection in the knee. Dr Kalawadia is very professional, courteous, and explained things thoroughly.

Dr Jay Kalawadia talks to you like you have been a friend for years. He puts all or any of your fears to rest as soon as he enters the room. Some Dr's walk in and can't wait to get out of "the little room" NOT Dr J Kalawadia, The one time he sat in the seat that's for him to use while checking his patients out & you would have sworn he was sitting there with a friend! That friend WAS ME! I felt SO VERY LUCKY TO BE RIGHT WHERE I WAS! At OAA and in that "little room" talking to a friend who also happen to help me out with my shoulder issue. THANKS JAY, I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL! ~ Schwindy

Dr. Kalawadia performed my hip arthroscopy, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would highly recommend him. 9/2/2020 - Dr. Kalawadia saw my son today to take a look at his knees. Dr. Kalawadia has an amazing approach with teenagers. My son felt so comfortable and left feeling like Dr. Kalawadia was great.

Dr Kalawadia took his time to listen to me, he saw me as a whole person and connected the dots of a systemic issue I was experiencing throughout my body and not just the localized problem of my shoulder in which I went to see him for. He was able to diagnose my shoulder issue and the care plan to get it better. I would highly recommend him, he was excellent.

Dr. Kalawadia is amazing all around, from diagnosis, to surgery, and following up. He is the most genuine Doctor I have ever met. He is extremely talented and personable, kind, and compassionate.

Dr. Kalawadia demonstrates all the qualities of an excellent physician/surgeon. He is accessible to the patient and speaks with them personally regarding any of their personal questions or concerns or his own. He has excellent communication skills and provides detailed instructions and education on his individualized plan of care, demonstrates skilled surgical abilities with a life-enriching outcome & with no post operative complications and has a GENUINE vested interest regarding each individual patient as demonstrated by his desire to ensure each patient's physical and emotional needs are met by his delivery of quality care. I have been a Registered Nurse for over 40 years in the acute care setting working with surgeons most of my professional career. I have been blessed to have Dr. Kalawadia as my shoulder surgeon and evaluate him to be highest in the standard of the medical industry.

Competent, expedient positive, great bedside manner, and low-keyed (most important)--what more could one ask for in an orthopedic surgeon! Lest I forget, when advising his patients, he suggests and implements many non-invasive strategies and procedures, rather than defaulting to surgery at the outset--most helpful and appreciated!
