Robert A. Kayal, MD, FAAOS, FAAHKS is the Founder, President, CEO, and Chairman of NY and NJ's Kayal Orthopaedic Center. Dr. Kayal considers it an honor, blessing, and privilege to help restore an active and joyful quality of life to each of his patients. He gives all his thanks to God for his talents and skills and prays his practice will always be used to honor and glorify God.

Specializing in partial and total joint replacements, sports medicine, and arthroscopy, Dr. Kayal knows the importance of staying abreast of the latest technologies. By keeping his finger on the pulse of innovation, he can provide beneficial treatments to help patients recover quickly.
“What you’ll find here isn’t just state-of-the-art facilities. It’s an entire philosophy,” says Dr. Kayal. With New Jersey locations in Franklin Lakes, Glen Rock, Westwood, Paramus, North Bergen, Wyckoff, Midland Park, Garfield, Montvale, Union City, Bayonne, Fairview, Ramsey, Kinnelon, and New York offices in Stony Point and New City, the award-winning practice prides itself on offering advanced orthopaedic treatments in a compassionate environment. As a patient, “you aren’t just a number,” says Dr. Kayal. “We’re focused on building lifelong relationships, accelerating rehabilitation, and inspiring quality of life.
Besides the Kayal Orthopaedic Center, Dr. Kayal’s practice includes the Kayal Pain & Spine Center, Kayal Rheumatology Center, Kayal Physical Therapy, Kayal Osteoporosis Center, and the Kayal Medical Imaging Center. These facilities allow him to provide a wider range of musculoskeletal treatments and therapies. “I believe our patients do their homework and choose this practice because of our training, skill, experience, and innovation,” Dr. Kayal says. “But what they also find from us is patience, compassion, and a genuine concern and commitment to each and every one of them.”

The Kayal Orthopaedic Center is also dedicated to staying abreast of the latest treatments and technologies in each specialist’s field of expertise. Years ago, Dr. Kayal and his team of orthopaedic surgeons began using the Stryker Mako robot, a sophisticated instrument that allows for greater precision and control during partial and total hip and knee replacement surgeries. This customized joint replacement technology, using the Mako robot, in combination with high-resolution cross-sectional medical CT scan imaging and Stryker's proprietary software, ensures accurate sizing, placement, fit, balance, and rotation of installed components, much akin to being fitted with a "tailor-made suit." At Kayal Orthopaedic Center, this Mako robotic technology has also been used in combination with the minimally invasive direct anterior approach (DAA) for hip replacement surgery. “You can be certain that the Kayal team has done its homework and is ready to provide our patients with the best treatment approaches available,” says Dr. Kayal.
The philosophy of Kayal Orthopaedic Center is to provide every patient with the pain-free, active lifestyle they deserve. With decades of orthopaedic surgery experience, Dr. Robert Kayal and his staff provide comprehensive care that gives patients the one-on-one attention they need. Kayal Orthopaedic Center uses a patient-focused approach that has a proven track record of success. Dr. Kayal has built his practice around highly trained surgeons and specialists, innovative treatments, and state-of-the-art equipment. “Our philosophy is that the most beneficial service is the one that offers the best outcome for each unique patient,” Dr. Kayal says. “We offer everything our patients may need under one roof,” says Dr. Kayal.
