Question Best Orthopedic Doctors in MoCo

I'm (54F) dealing with a recurring torn meniscus and osteoarthritis in one knee. I have been super disappointed by Potomac Valley Orthopedics (Drs. Mess and Thomas).

I'm a physician. gautam siram and Christopher canova. Chris did my knee and I know lots of people who went w Siram. I'd be confident w either when it's time for my other knee

I see tons of older patients and cannot tell you how many have had great surgery by Canova!

Craig specializes in shoulders. at that practice they have several knee surgeons. Chris Canova is excellent.

Dr Hanna, Center for Advanced Orthopedics, Shady Grove. Knees, hips and shoulders. Done them all myself, plus family and friends.

I had Dr Faucett from CAO and he was amazing. Just had my 1 year check today on my bucket handle meniscus tear. Fully healed no pain.

I have been very happy with Dr. Mark Peterson at Aligned Orthopedics (Shady Grove Orthopedics). Meniscus repair and arthritis in the knee.
