    Dr. O'Brien Testimonial

    Late last year, I was told I would need knee surgery. I visited Dr. O’Brien, and he examined the MRI and concluded that all I needed was PT. He was right! I had one steroid injection and PT and now walk 5 miles with no knee problems. THANK YOU for your good advice and a conservative approach. You are seriously good!

    Physical Therapy Testimonial

    My post op PT for a total knee replacement has been excellent. My physical therapist has put together a targeted plan that works with each stage of the healing process. Highly recommended.

    Dr. Schluntz Testimonial

    This is probably the best doctor to see in the DC area if you have any joint injury. I am a very critical person relatively speaking, so this review should mean a lot to anyone reading it who knows me. P.S. I injured my knee during a soccer game. I saw this doctor on April 26, 2019.

    Dr. Schluntz Testimonial

    Just completed a 63 mile bike tour through West Virginia with my new knee. Glad to report that new knee worked better than the old knee, and that I completed the tour in a record time. Hats off to Dr. Schluntz and the rehab unit. Leg is as strong as it has ever been! I have recommended Dr. Schluntz to others and would gladly have…

    Dr. Schluntz Testimonial

    Dr. Schluntz is exactly what you want your doctor to be! I had my full knee replacement 9 days ago and I am walking on my own without any devises! Of course, I am still taking pain killers… Dr. Schluntz is a magician and definitely the best orthopedic surgeon in this area. Just follow his orders and you will understand how knowlegible and experienced he…

    Dr. Cannova Testimonial

    I cannot praise this clinic enough.  I had my initial knee replacement operation in 2002 in Virginia.  I decided to have my revision in 2019 in this clinic when I heard of the phenomenal work of Dr. Christopher Cannova. I was NOT disappointed!  The surgery was a great success, and the intervention above and beyond replacement was exemplary.  Diagnosed with osteolysis particle disease, I was…

    Dr. Bhattacharyya Testimonial

    I sing praises to DR. TIMOTHY BHATTACHARYYA, who has shown my elderly mother caring and compassion, as well as his highly regarded medical expertise as she suffered significant issues with her hip, knees and ankle over the last four months. Dr. Bhattacharyya is not only top in his field medically, he is second to none at reading our faces and taking pause to ensure we…
