I would also look into dr annunziata at commonwealth ortho. He has a great reputation and is known to be one of the best. And he is so so kind.

Thanks everyone. This is very helpful.

Lefton at commonwealth orthopedics did both of my mom's knees.

OP - looks like there is a call to commonwealth in your future! Had DCUM ever agreed on anything!?

Aguier at Commonwealth Orthopedics did my mom's knee surgery, and has dealt with my knees for years. He's excellent.

Lots of pain, swelling and range of motion issues with knees.

madden, in commonwealth's reston office, is also great with older patients. check out their website c-o-r.com to get bios and specialty areas of their docs.

Know a great hand doc -- Dr. Scott at Commonwealth Orthopedics in the Fairfax (Merrifield) office. He was fabulous with my dad.

Could you specify the problem?

Need a good orthopedic surgeon. Ideally, someone who is patient with an elderly parent.
