Robert Sterling, MD, FAAOS, FAOA

"Recently suffered a very painful comminuted femur fracture. I was immediately put into traction over night and prepped for surgery the next morning. Dr. Sterling and his team did an amazing job right the first time. Even fixing a preexisting condition which would have needed surgery in the future. I am very grateful for the care that was given to ensure a successful recovery."

"After a successful procedure for full replacement of my left hip, Dr. Sterling recently replaced the right hip, too. The results exceeded my highest hopes and expectations! I can now walk without the aid of supporting devices; I can even go up the steps in my home step-over-step, something I did not dare hope I would ever be able to do again. Dr.Sterling's team was in close, effective communication at every point throughout the cases, which came off smoothly, without complications of any kind. My experience was absolutely ideal: Dr. Sterling's office and his surgical team at George Washington Hospital provide the finest possible care, from diagnosis through postoperative physical therapy. Patients who turn to them can anticipate receiving the best possible care."

"Dr. Sterling and his staff are phenomenal. He has great bedside manners, he takes his time and genuinely listens to you, he also takes his time explaining why he does things and recommends certain things to his residents and students. I am extremely grateful that he is my surgeon."

"Dr. Sterling performed hip surgery on me and ALL the details he outlined before surgery were right on point after surgery. Dr. Sterling is an EXCELLENT surgeon and performed a SUCCESSFUL hip replacement surgery. I am so grateful to Dr. Sterling for his meticulous care of me as a patient. The ENTIRE TEAM OF DR. Sterling was magnificent, the OT, the PT, the Pain management doctor and the nursing staff at GW cared for me in a 5 star way. Thanks GW, LOVE YOU ALL, GOD BLESS."

"Dr. Sterling is wonderful. He is kind and patient and very gentle. His blond assistant wasn't friendly and I regret more than I can say allowing her to assist him. Please go with your instinct patients and let the real professional work his magic. Dr. Sterling is amazing and his touch is golden. He's a noce man and even better doctor. Have him do all of your prcedures. Stay in the care of a professional who has empathy and is sensitive. That is who Dr. Sterling is."

"Dr. Sterling enjoys a well-deserved reputation for comprehensive excellence as a surgeon and as a medical educator. His work on my hips has literally taken me out of a wheelchair and restored me to mobility on my own two feet. The GW staff that attends to the management of his Orthopaedic Surgery division has been unfailingly efficient, communicative, and humane. Taking the elevator up to the fifth floor is like stepping into a better world. Words do not suffice to express my gratitude."

"I have been going to George Washington HOSPITAL for years, and I have came across great doctors, listening is important and understanding what the patient needs with there health, I do appreciate the doctors that I have and hope they're taking care of them selves also because u are important to. So that there be able to keep doing the things they love to do and that's taking care of patients, people. I (SALUTE) you and all of your coworkers. THANK YOU"

"Knowledgeable and experienced; friendly staff, Dr. Sterling explained clearly what my surgery would entail, and explained the risks involved; he listened to and answered "all" my questions before and after my surgery, and any questions I asked on the "MyChart" app were answered in a timely manner as well; I would, and have recommended Dr. Sterling to those who are considering or have been told hip replacement surgery is necessary."
