Can anyone (highly) recommend their orthopedist?? Thanks in advance.

https://www.orthovirginia.com/ - I highly recommend these doctors. I don't know if they still are but they used to be the official orthopedics to the Redskins.
Knee doctor/orthopedist/etc recommendation Hi all,
I've been fighting some pain with my knee recently, and want to get a 2nd opinion from a trusted doc in the area.
Anyone have a recommendation? (particularly if they are in the Aetna network?).
I'm waiting for MRI results, but was not happy with the initial consultation I had with the doc I picked. Really short and rude.

Pretty much everyone I know who plays (adult) sports in the area goes to someone that's part of OrthoVirginia. https://www.orthovirginia.com
Does anyone in the group know of a good orthopedic/sports medicine doctor in DC/Northern Virginia that does shoulders?

I severely sprained my AC joint playing soccer a couple of years ago and in a separate skiing accident chipped my humerus near the shoulder. These guys saw me both times. Both times they deemed the injuries moderate and recomended PT over surgery. Great folks. http://www.orthovirginia.com/
Has anyone ever had physical therapy after surgery to correct a labral tear? Hi, folks! You may remember me from such reddit posts as "has anyone ever had a hip arthroscopy for a labral tear." Or you may not, and that is also fine.
Anyway, I found a surgeon and it only took like four months! I had my surgery in February and I'm ready to start physical therapy. Unfortunately my surgeon (and the therapist he recommends) is all the way out in Woodbridge, and I live in Fairfax, and I can't drive yet, so making someone drive me all the way out there 2-3 times a week is not practical.
Anyway, I know there are like a trillion physical therapists near me, but I'd really like to see someone who has experience with this kind of surgery, and that information is not readily googlable. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[OrthoVirginia](https://www.orthovirginia.com/) has offices in Fairfax and Fairoaks. I tore the labrum in my right shoulder and they repaired and then I did Pt with them. They were fantastic. I have full range of motion back and full strength back in my right shoulder. I just recently partially tore my left rotater cuff and go back on the 29 th for a follow up and possible MRI to see how bad and if surgery is needed. PT will follow of course.
