MedStar Health Orthopedics at Chevy Chase

"The Orthopaedics Department at MedStar is stellar. I have seen two different doctors for different issues and both have been great at explaining my condition, giving me options and recommendations. My surgery for one issue was a success. I couldn't be happier with the care I've received each and every time."

"Very well organized and efficient medical practice. My surgeon, Dr Brent Wiesel, was excellent. He performed a rotator cuff repair surgery on my right shoulder. The team around him was nice and prompt to respond to my questions. The whole process was great."

"Dr. Portney is great. He listened carefully, addressed all my concerns & I didn't feel rushed. The staff is professional and friendly & the x-ray tech is competent and caring."

"This was the best medical appointment I've had (of many appointments) all year. This is from calling to schedule the appointment, checking in at the front desk, getting x-rays, going to switch into the exam gown, going to the exam room, getting evaluated and treated by Dr. Wiesel, and checking out at the front desk. I appreciate Dr. Wiesel letting me know the cause of the pain I am experiencing - explaining how to deal with it if the pain increases. Everyone was super friendly and capable. It will be nice if I don't need further treatment, but if I do, I'm glad I know about this practice."

"Treated for Jones Fracture of left foot. follow up included an 'ankle brace' which also wrapped around foot but was almost impossible to put on without assistance, cost me $50 and seemed to me replaceable by an Ace bandage. treatment otherwise fine, doctor answered my questions and was pleasant to deal with."

"I feel like this visit could've been a phone call. We traveled 2hrs roundtrip for disappointment yet again. My son has been passed down from one Orthopedic doctor to the next. We're mentally and physically exhausted and we just need definite answers regarding his hip replacement surgery. If it wasn't for the professionalism and diligence from Charron and her colleagues at the front desk, I would write off Medstar Orthopedics team permanently. Thank you front desk for getting him scheduled with the Chief of Orthopedics!"

"Excellent facilities. Appears well-equipped for therapy assistance and patients were getting a great deal of help. I would love to return and make use of these great facilities! Time with the doctor was too brief, but he definitely seemed very knowledgeable."

"Just attended my annual follow-up from spinal surgery two years ago. Easy, nice team and it is always a pleasure to see my excellent spine surgeon, Dr Kalantar, who saved the quality of my life (literally) . In addition to being the best surgeon, he is also communicative and kind."
