About Us

Orthopaedic Surgery, Sports and Performing Arts Medicine has been providing high quality care to patients with orthopaedic medical complaints for decades.

This includes sports & performing arts injuries, arthritis, aches & pains, trauma/fracture care, legal/auto claims, work injuries, and other musculoskeletal injuries. Individualized, compassionate, personal care is at the core of our treatment. Conservative and holistic measures are always given priority over any surgical recommendations. The corner stone of medical care is the doctor patient relationship. What is unique to our practice is every patient sees the doctor, every time; rather than a doctor’s assistant (medical technician, physicians assistant or nurse). Patients receive high quality care with the latest scientific procedures and techniques, combined with traditional medical values of keeping the interests of the patient foremost.

Our office accepts most medical insurances, Tricare, Medicare, Workman’s Compensation, legal, and even those who are self-pay. We are pleased to treat numerous international patients who speak a variety of languages. Our staff is fluent in Spanish and arrangements are available for non-English or hearing-impaired patients. Care is provided in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
