Mesfin A. Lemma, MD

"I had the distinct pleasure of meeting with Dr. Mesfin Lemma at the MedStar Orthopedic Institute at MUMH Spine Ctr. In Baltimore and it was an exceptional visit. I have had back issues for several years and needed a consult to find out why my pain management injections were no longer effective. I was informed that I had a hip issue and after taking time to educate me further where my pain was originating he promptly referred me to a well known hip and knee specialist of which my husband and I were extremely grateful. I came to see Dr Lemma because of his exceptional CV/ resume and because he is one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the US. So if you have spine issues and live in the Baltimore, MD or Dc area please read his bio and schedule your appointment to meet with him. He is a very patient, professional, calm, and knowledgeable surgeon who is patient focused and will answer all questions with the goal of helping you understand what is going on and a potential solution. We left there pleased and knowing if my spine does take a turn I will be back to see him! Thanks again Dr Lemma for your time, consideration, expertise and referral. Please thank Dr H I said thanks for sharing a few names within the Potomac Valley Ortho system in the Columbia area. Take care of yourself and thanks again for excelling in all you do and being a nice guy :) Sincerely, Mel"

"Dr. Lemma accompanied my neurosurgeon with my emergency spinal fusion. I met him for the first time in the hospital, and I have to admit, he scared me by telling me how high risk I was. But, you know what he touched my heart. He gave me drive to be a healthier person, loose some weight, and change habits. My surgery was a success, and I was up walking the next day after weeks of pain, limping, and gait disturbance.
