This recognition validates UOA’s leadership in musculoskeletal care, reinforcing patient trust through verified clinical excellence. By highlighting peer-reviewed expertise, the honor elevates the standard of local healthcare, ensuring patients have access to nationally recognized surgeons who prioritize advanced, evidence-based treatments and long-term community health outcomes.
University Orthopaedic Associates (UOA) is proud to announce that six of its distinguished surgeons have been named 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctors.

Harwood, Dr. Timothy P. Leddy, Dr. James T. Monica, and Dr. Kenneth G. Swan, Jr. These board-certified specialists represent the pinnacle of orthopaedic excellence within New Jersey.
As integral members of OrthoNJ, these surgeons provide comprehensive musculoskeletal care, ranging from complex trauma reconstruction and robotic-assisted joint replacements to advanced spinal procedures. Their commitment to patient outcomes is further supported by UOA’s integrated facilities, including state-of-the-art diagnostics and the U.S. News & World Report-recognized University Center for Ambulatory Surgery. By combining cutting-edge technology with opioid-sparing protocols, the practice ensures that patients receive world-class care in a compassionate, professional environment.
Beyond their clinical practice, these physicians play a vital role in medical education and community health. Through academic appointments at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and service as official consultants for major universities and professional sports teams, they continue to advance the field of orthopaedics. This peer-nominated honor underscores their unwavering commitment to pioneering research, clinical excellence, and the long-term wellness of the communities they serve throughout the region.
