David W. Romness, MD

"We saw Dr. Romness for a consultation for my husband who is badly in need of a total hip replacement. He was the first of the three doctors we have seen who we felt really cared about my husband's overall health and wellbeing. He even said 'it is all connected' and understood the extensive spinal surgeries that my husband has had and how he would modify the surgery to best protect him from dislocation as well as his heart and other health issues. We liked everything about Dr. Romness and without a doubt, immediately felt he was the right surgeon to do this. You can feel that he truly cares about his patients and we need more doctors like him."

"Dr. Romness is very professional and knowledgeable and listens well to patients. I feel confident in his diagnosis and judgement and appreciate that he is conservative medically and doesn't push opioids and surgery, viewing these steps as last resorts when other options have been exhausted. Glad to have chosen him as my new orthopedist since my previous one, who put in my knee and revised my hip twice, has retired."

"Dr. Romness replaced my right hip in 2012, but I needed both knees replaced also. My BMI was too high and he could not do it because of hospital regulations at that time. So, he referred me to an excellent doctor at Georgetown Medical Hospital.and I had it done there. My hips are doing very well, but due to unforeseen medical conditions, I have not had them replaced. I have been seeing Doctor Romness for years. He's an Outstanding, professional and kind doctor. I definitely would recommend him for these surgeries. I will be returning to him knee surgeries."

"The entire dr appt moved along quickly and efficiently. I was surprised to find out my knee which was replaced 20 years ago needs to be replaced again. I was given a very complete and concise explanation about timetable to have both knees replaced. I felt complete confidence in Dr Romness' explanation."

"OrthoVirginia really makes the whole process easy. Their online appointment system is both useful and accurate (something I don't always see with medical sites). Dr. Romness really took his time to talk directly to me. He explained my options and made it clear that the path and timing were up to me. All the staff were friendly."

"I cannot recommend Dr. David Romness highly enough. From the very first consultation through my total knee replacement surgery and recovery, his professionalism, warmth, and genuine care stood out. Dr. Romness has an outstanding demeanor--calm, respectful, and reassuring. He takes the time to listen, explain, and make you feel truly seen as a patient. His approach is not only technically excellent but also deeply human. Thanks to his skill and guidance, my surgery was a success. Just 16 days later, I'm walking unaided--no cane, no walker--and I was even able to take steps on the day of the procedure. That kind of outcome speaks volumes. If you're considering joint replacement, you'll be in the best hands with Dr. Romness. He's a remarkable surgeon and a compassionate professional who sets the gold standard in patient care."

"Great surgeon when i needed it. He did an emergency hip replacement and will soon do a total knee replacement. I like and trust him."

"Great experience at OrthoVirginia with Dr. Romness for a painful right knee. Very efficient and streamlined. Highly recommend."
