Primary Care
We participate with many local and national insurance plans. However insurance coverage is a contract between you and your insurance carrier. It is your responsibility to understand whether your insurance has limitations on; coverage, the doctors you can see, or the services you may receive. Be sure to call your carrier, prior to your visit, to verify your benefits and to determine if you need a referral from your primary care physician.

Orthopedics
We are pleased that you have chosen Washington Circle Orthopaedic Associates for treatment of your injuries or pain in bones, muscles, joints or ligaments. Our physicians are board certified in general orthopedics and each has additional training and expertise in one or more sub-specialty areas.
Arthroscopy
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is the most common injury in patients seeking medical attention for elbow pain. It’s estimated that at some point, tennis elbow affects nearly half of those who play racquet sports – but can also be seen in patients performing repetitive gripping or typing activities. Exactly what causes tennis elbow is unknown, but it is thought to be due to small tears of the tendons that attach forearm muscles to the arm bone at the elbow joint. The inflammation that results from this injury can prevent someone from hitting a tennis ball or gripping without pain. For a tennis player, tennis elbow can be career-ending. While surgery is rarely needed, treatment can involve special therapy and exercises that extend to six months or more. Physical and occupational play a significant role in the non-surgical treatment of upper extremity injuries, as success with therapy eliminates the need for surgical intervention. Ultimately, if resolution of the symptoms cannot be achieved with conservative management, a simple 10-15 minute elbow arthroscopy has a 95% chance of achieving a pain-free elbow.
Joint Replacement
Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic or ceramic device called a prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate the movement of a normal, healthy joint.

He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the George Washington University Medical Center and a fellowship in Sports Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Hip Replacement
During this procedure, your damaged hip joint is replaced with implants that recreate the ball and socket of a healthy hip. This can reduce pain and restore your hip function.
Knee Replacement
This procedure restores function to a severely damaged knee. Most commonly, it is used to repair a knee that has been damaged by arthritis. During the procedure, the surgeon replaces the damaged portions of the knee with artificial parts. These parts consist of a metal femoral component, a metal tibial component and a plastic spacer. A small plastic patellar component may also be used.
Reconstructive Surgery
Upper extremity problems that affect the shoulder and elbow are very common. Patients can develop problems as a result of traumatic injuries, sports activities, work injuries and occupational disorders, and aging and degenerative conditions. These include rotator cuff tears and impingement, shoulder and elbow arthritis, fractures of the clavicle, scapula, humerus and elbow, neurologic problems. A full spectrum of non-operative treatments including physical therapy and injections are used to treat many of these problems. Surgical treatments include the latest in arthroscopic surgery, reconstructive and revision surgery, total joint replacement, fracture fixation, muscle and tendon transfers, nerve decompression, and reconstructive surgery for brachial plexus injuries.
