I easily made an appointment and the person was polite and helpful. The check-in at the front desk was also easy and the people there were very friendly, polite and helpful. I was taken to an examination room almost immediately and the assistant was friendly and helpful. Dr. Tang came in within 5 and 10 minutes for the two appointments. He was professional and very knowledgeable. I am in ongoing treatment but am very pleased so far. Thank you for asking and taking these comments seriously. I will always choose practices that use patient feedback to make positive changes. I will also highly recommend them to my friends and neighbors.

Dr. Cook was good communicating to my son who is 17. He stressed the importance of patience and time in healing as well as following medical advisement in treating his injured ankle. However, we has b to return to the practice when our Dr was not working and I was disappointed. The Dr. On duty recommended a walking boot and remove the cast which was irritating his knee. Instead of waiting for insurance approval (which the Dr. On duty did not accept out insurance ) he said unless you pay out of pocket right now we will just recast the ankle. So my son cant walk around for the next few weeks but still has to use crutches. Ive been to this practice myself and would recommend it because their physical therapist are excellent.

The people from front desk, to Dr. Tang, to the X-Ray and cast team, and the care they provide make this practice outstanding. I greatly appreciate the extra care they took with my mother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, going so far as to let her choose her cast color, and adding glitter sparkles. I highly recommend this practice.

I have received amazing care over the years at this facility. From the front desk, to the doctors, and everyone in between, the care Ive received is top notch. My most recent experience has been no exception. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Tang with POV is the best doctor there! He is amazing and the best at what he does. My family was so blessed to have him treat my sons very close to wrist brake! We will miss seeing him for visits. Thanks again POV!

Very professional, courteous staff, Dr. Gelb explains what is going on in easy to understand language and also possible treatment possibilities. I would definitely go back for any other orthopedic issues if needed.

Every staff member I met, from the front desk, techs, X-ray techs, docs, and the extra-kind and patient woman who explained my insurance benefits to me, was kind, professional and caring. While I hope to never need their services again, I am so glad I was a patient of theirs for these past couple of months.

Arrived for my second injection in my knee. I was called back within 10 minutes and waited about 7 minutes for Dr. Tang to give me the injection. All in all I spent a total of 25 minutes at the center including any questions I had. Very happy!

My experience with Dr. Jessica Figueroa was absolutely amazing. She’s is extremely personable and professional. I had a lot of anxiety about going to a doctor for my carpal tunnel. Dr. Figueroa listened to my concerns and helped develop a course of care that she explained thoroughly. She set my mind completely at ease. My carpal tunnel surgery was the easiest to recover from of all the surgeries I’ve ever had. I wish she could be my doctor for everything. She is wonderful. Sergio, the tech who removed my stitches was very pleasant and professional as well.

I am very please with the medical treatment I receive from Dr Tang🤗 I’ve had two surgeries in the last 5 years and am very happy about them. I will be getting a full knee replacement soon. Wouldn’t consider going to any other Dr.

Ive seen a couple of great doctors here. Dr. Figueroa is so thorough. She takes the time that is needed to explain everything in detail and provides you with the information you need to make the best decision for yourself. The office is run efficiently, everyone is nice and Ive never had to wait long.

This was my second unfortunate need as I fell on the ice and broke my shoulder. Dr Mess took care of me and was very engaging and explained what my need was and how best to help it heal.Worked with him and physical therapy for 5 months and the results are excellent. While I still need to keep doing various exercises I am on the road to full recovery.Thank you Dr Mess and the Potomac Valley Orthopedic team.Ron Diegelman

You knew the doctors would be top-notch, but the whole staff is A+. A shout out to the X-ray tech Damien and the assistant Sedona.

Great experience, Dr Yeh explains everything and a joy to talk to. My appointment was at 10 AM and I was called at 10 AM. Received injection and out in 12 minutes. It a 10/10 experience.

Dr. Tang was very generous with his time in explaining the MRI results and gave me options to deal with my injury. Nice facility, friendly staff

This office staff was the most friendly I have ever seen. Dr.Gelb was great.

Dr Yeh is the best specialist that I’ve gotten treatment from. He knows or can talk about procedures or operations that I’ve had going back 15 years. His bedside manner is unparalleled. I am so glad that I am his patient.

Dr. Sathi and staff were wonderful as always. Kind, quick, friendly, clean. Everything you want from a health provider. As the mother of active kids, we are frequent flyers and always have a great experience.

Dr. Yeh is a wonderful physician. He is very knowledgeable in his field and he is very helpful and amicable. He sincerely cares about his patients and Ive enjoyed seeing him. The office staff is also very accommodating.

Awful tooth ache during the snowstorm we had. No one got back to me at a timely manner or get me in ASAP. Ajmal Dental Care called my back right away and started to diagnose my issues over the phone. They started me on antibiotics and scheduled me next available day, new patient! Other dentists were a week out. I ended up having a root canal done and will need a crown. I always had anxiety issues with dentists and they made me feel at ease. I highly recommend this practice!

Phenomenal surgical experience and follow-up with dr, pa, and radiology technician. The call center needs some work to develop their listening skills. I suspect long wait times are due to fitting in emergency case follow-ups and people fitted in to rule out possible complications. Dr. Sethi and Dr. Mess spent considerable time evaluating a potential surgical complication with a hematologist, including pushing back the surgery until everyone felt confident (including me) that they were prepared for any complications that might crop up during surgery. Communication was excellent.

Staff is extremely helpful, adjoining PT facility provided excellent treatment, and I cant thank Dr. Tang enough for helping me do things that hadnt been possible for several years before my procedure.

Dr. Gelb is amazing!! His staff is amazing!! I highly recommend this practice. Everyone is friendly and personable. I always have a great experience when I go there.

A great doctor doctor Tang was very patient and reassuring all staff members respectful. Very busy place. A little wait to see doctor. Otherwise good service.

Very professional, courteous, Dr. Gelb explained everything in a easy to understand manner. Appointments were made easily and conveniently.

This place changed my life. I was suffering from back pain due to a work-related injury. I was really in bad shape But thank to Dr. Mathur who operates surgery on my back that I feel so good now I feel 10 times better than before.Thank you Dr. Mathur.

First Off: Dr. Sanjog Mathur is an excellent spine surgeon. Repaired a severe L5/S1 injury this past year.However: The enterprise is terrible with patient and case management, from mere appointments to cross-communications between surgeons and physical therapy (e.g., Here is the Pathology, and here is the PT that heals it. As matters evolve, there is no dialogue between PT and the surgeon.Appointments: Arrived at 10:45 for a 10:50 appointment. No paperwork necessary. Taken back to exam room at 11:25; seen by doctor at 12:10 and departed facility at 12:30. Thats an hour and 40 minutes in the facility for 20 minutes with the Dr.Going back to case management, a lingering pathology from the time of the back injury was pain in my lower-right back and hip. After two MRIs on my hip, edema was shown in both MRIs; however, Dr. Mathur could not associate with the original injury. I was left to find another specialist without further assistance from PVOA. I had to identify a hip specialist informally through PT staff. Possible labral tear. This could have been diagnosed in tandem with L5/S1 recovery.

Dr. Mathur is excellent. He takes his time to answer all your questions and I had wonderful results with my spine surgery. I highly recommend him. The office is a very busy one so be ready for that. My first two appointments I was seen in 10 minutes my third post operation appointment it took 25 minutes to get back to see him.

Making an appointment was easy and I didn’t wait long once I arrived.

Dr Mathur gave me my life back!! Best Dr. ever!!! Best staff ever!!!

I arrived 20 minutes early for my 2:50 appointment, and completed my sign-in on the device by 2:45. Then, the awful wait began. They had obviously overbooked as the waiting room was overflowing into the entry foyer and they almost certainly were not complying with Covid social distancing protocols. After waiting an hour and 15 minutes I went to the desk to ask if there was an issue and how much longer I would have to wait and was told There is still a 2:45 ahead of you for Dr Mathur. This mean they were scheduling patients every 5 minutes?!?!?!?. Are they billing insurance companies for full appointments at the same time? Eventually I was seen at 4:45. I was given a neck brace that hurt more wearing than not and given a prescription that didnt actually arrive at the pharmacy til then next day. I cant wait for the bill to arrive and see what they charge me for 5 minutes of not much help. However, since I used 2 hours of PTO from work to wait for no reason (I could have left at the scheduled end of shift and still been there in time to be seen when I was) I am going to insist they deduct the value of that time from the bill. Avoid at all costs!

I love the doctors here and I trust them.

Quick sign in. Receptionist/Nurse/Doctor all very friendly and efficient. I would recommend PVOA to all my family & friends.

Anxiety was getting the best of me yet my doc was amazing from start of care to finish. Excellent in every way. Slight wait once but not every visit. This was to be expected from good care. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Tang.

I saw Dr. Yeh, the hand surgeon. He is very personable and knowledgeable.Same as above.

The doctor very professional and staff very kind. Good organization

A personal touch with professionalism, this staff assisted me for two months to the point of complete recovery. I could not be more pleased with the overall experience and the final result. I recommend this facility and the fine staff without hesitation.

If you make an appointment, but have anywhere else to go that day, forget it. Every time I come here I am forced to sit over a full hour to be seen after my appointment time. Each trip to this place turns into a half day event, and I wish I had gone somewhere else so I dont have to keep subjecting myself to these incredibly long visits.

I had a hip replaced and am quite happy with the results.

I experienced very fine care from everyone

Fast, efficient attention. I have visited the Potomac Valley Orthopaedics in Columbia several times in the last five years, and have always been satisfied with their services. I never had to wait for long; the diagnosis, prescription and treatment was delivered professionally and efficiently. Since I suffer from mild arthritis I expect to return, and I will do so confidently that will receive very good care.

Would give 0 stars if I could. If you are able to make it to see a Dr. good luck. Arrived at 945 for a 1030 appt to fill out paperwork. 11am, oh sorry theres still 1 ahead of you. Why, I had 1030apt?! We double book and sometimes things take longer. Why double book every time slot, that makes absolutely no sense, especially with 1st time patient. You dont double book 1st time patients. Avoid this place unless you want to wait 2-3 hrs.

Wont be going back to this place. Wife had a meniscus surgery here 5 years ago and things were good. They have fallen off since then. Took my stepson here for some knee pain he was having. He had a 315 appointment. We got here early as we came straight from school which is around the corner and dismissed at 250. At 425 we were still in the waiting room. I went to the desk and told the receptionist that I needed my insurance card that they had been holding on to back because I was leaving. I saw several people who came in after me taken back before. She asked if I wanted to cancel. I said if that is what no longer sitting here means. She gave me back my insurance card and my copayment and said sorry. She did ask if I wanted to reschedule and instead of being rude I simply not at this time. I hope no one goes back there. I work in the same industry and know that they purposely overbooked by the number of people in the waiting room. Find a place that truly values your time and what to take care of you not just make money off of you.

Dr. Figueroa is very nice and knowledgeable!

Great facility. Had both wrists injured on separate occasions and had them treated(Full recovery time: R: 1 Week L: 4 Weeks). Wait time wasnt more than 10 minutes after filling out the patient checklist and information. Is a friendly facility, with comfortable patient wait rooms.

Dr. Mathur did a great job with my lumbar surgery and my previous level of pain was greatly reduced soon after surgery.

My son had a 3:10 appointment, we got here at 2:50 at 4:20 I go to counter ask for my license and insurance card back and they said you have 4 people in front of you, would you like a piece of candy! Are you kidding me, no I would like to be seen at my apointment time. They also have a sign up saying wait times of min 30 min are common so if you value your time go elsewhere!

I had an appointment this morning at 10:20 AM [7/28/2016]. This appointment was made over a week in advance. I arrived 20 minutes early to fill out paperwork. At 11:10 AM there was still one person ahead of me. 50 minutes past my appointment time and 70 minutes since I arrived is unacceptable. I will find another orthopedic physician. Do not go here, they do not respect peoples time. The people at the front desk were very nice and accommodating when I requested my copay and paperwork back. In hindsight, I wish I had heeded the other reviews, but this practice was the recommendation of my primary care physician.

Very professional service. Quick and accurate diagnosis, perfect therapy plan.

After a quick x-ray, I was put in an exam room and forgotten about. Appointment was at 3:30. Wasnt seen by the doctor until 5pm, only after someone walked by and asked havent you been seen already?. Two minutes with the doctor, to show how to stretch heel. But my right knee is also a problem so the lunge hurt. He just said come back another time for the knee but no consideration for overall health. When I left exam room to make follow up, lights were off and place was empty. Weve gone to this practice several times over the years. Im done.

DO NOT COME HER Secretaries were hardly pleasant and the wait just to get put in a room is insane. I left in the middle of my appointment because Id been waiting so long I was going to miss an appointment that I had scheduled an hour and a half later. Obviously I shouldve planned a three hour window just to be seen here for 10 minutes. Plus, the Doctor just wasnt very nice, the staff are very dismissive and quick to leave which is surprising since 95% of the time here is spent waiting. Terrible place

I was seen for my first visit on 8/17/17 and I saw Dr Charles Mess he is wonderful and he explained things to me and gave me options. I did not feel rushed at all. Yes the wait was linger than I would have liked but it is a doctors office and waiting is expected at times. but all in all it was fine

No doctor is worth a 90 minute wait. This is the second time we have waited more than an hour. Obviously the office and the Drs do not manage their schedule very well. Patients are expected to be on time. We all work and all of our time and money should be respected.

I have had my finger rebuilt and also my foot healed after I went to 2 other doctors. I just saw the rating they had which I dont feel they deserve

I had been suffering with a foot injury for a little over 3 months. The first podiatrist was never able to inform me of what was going on. A classmate referred me to Dr. Cook and without any x-rays or imaging, he was able to tell me what was wrong. After completing x-rays and reviewing my MRI, it was confirmation to what he stated. I was very pleased. My only issues was that I waited for almost an hour to be seen and the office charged my insurance company and me for my boot, which I was told that I would have to pay for and my insurance company would reimburse me. Thank God that I read my explanation of benefits. I wonder how long it will take for me to get my refund.

I had a nasty fall the other day, and went to an emergency care facility. They took x-rays and determined I had a fracture. They told me to go to an orthopedic the next day, and recommended Potomac Valley. Since the damage was to my left foot, I drove to their office by 9:45 and called from my cell to see if they could take me. They said yes, at 11:30. I asked if someone could bring a wheelchair out to get me, and the call center said yes. I was parked in front of the entrance. It took them over 1 1/2 hours to walk outside and wheel me 20 feet. I was livid! Once inside, the receptionist explained that the call center should have told me it would be a long wait because they were busy. Never mind that I called 7 times, and each time I was told someone was on the way! It was very clear she was an idiot. They left me in the car, in the rain, for nearly 2 hours. Obviously, if they could not have accommodated me, they should have said so, and I would have gone elsewhere.If that wasnt bad enough, after meeting with the seemingly competent Dr. Teng, I was left with the technician to fit me with a boot. The tech didnt wait to see if I got the hang of it or if I could make it to the door. A fracture, such as mine is extremely painful, and makes it nearly impossible to walk - even with a boot. I asked someone at the departure desk if I could be wheeled out to my car. It was raining, and I could just see myself falling in the parking lot. She barely looked up at me and said, no one is available. I told her theres a wheel chair in the back, and I could roll myself out. She got up and rolled me out herself. Thank God the urgent care center sold me crutches, which Potomac never even mentioned, as I was able to use them once I got home with the boot. No one I encountered in this awful place had any caring manners whatsoever. I toltally agree with the negative reviews. I will never return to Potomac Valley Orthopaedic Associates, and will do my follow ups elsewhere. Never again, here.

The women at the front desk are so slow. They need to do better.

Really poor.Went here for knee problems in 2010 because my mother liked Dr. Cook who took care of her broken arm that year. Well, that is a simple problem. Cook seemed casual and unconcerned about figuring out my knee trouble (probably instigated by my digging holes for bushes), and never tried to give a solid answer after several visits. Worse, I asked him what my foot problem could be which happened to be crippling me for a week when I had a knee appt. there. Got an x-ray of foot but no solid answer - my dad was right, I just sprained my foot (accidentally twisted it a few days prior) and had to care for it for a while. As if doc didnt know anything! As for my knees, they gradually got better, and a few exercises helped - I think it was indeed the bushes! But doc didnt even offer that as a possibility!Worst of all is the casual, incompetent manner the staff handled me. Over several visits that summer I was left to my own devices by all the staff as well as the doctor. No one made sure I knew where to go/what to do next! Id sit in the room for a long time wondering if I was supposed to wait for someone, or walk to x-ray myself, have someone show me physical exercises, or leave for the day, etc. Never sure what I was supposed to do! Totally nonchalant and careless there! Never had such bad care service! (And believe me, I have/had MANY ailments using many doctors in the last 10 years!)I tell everyone DO NOT GO TO POTOMAC!

Dr Mathur worked on my neck and lower back. sence 12/17 Neck fixed 11/18 on themend. Neck PAIN GONE. THANKS TO DR MATHUR AND HIS GREAT TEAM.

My rating is a 5+! My daughter fractured her ankle Saturday (1/19), we scheduled an online appointment for Monday (1/21) morning at 8:45. We showed up Monday morning and the staff was AMAZING at taking care of my 24 year old baby girl! Dr. Gelb saw her, xrays were taken almost immediately, and then Dr. Gelb took time to go over what would happen next. Yesterday (1/24) my daughter had ankle surgery and couldnt have been in better hands! We feel SO fortunate that Potomac Valley Orthopedic Associates took such good AND quick care of my daughter. Shes in the recovery process now but I know Dr. Gelb is just a phone call away if we have any questions! Thank you PVOA! ~M. Peyton

I wish that I had read the reviews about the practice before I wasted 2 hours of my time to not be seen. This is unacceptable and unprofessional. Clearly, you have no interest in improving your practice because you have continued to receive the same complaints for at least 5 years.

The staff here is incredibly rude!!!!! No compassion what so ever to be working in a medical facility. Walmart greeters would be better than the staff they have at the front desk.

Professional, courteous, very helpful.

To address the reviews that had to wait, you are put in a priority queue so if you need a bandage and someone else is going to loose a limb your going to wait. If you think its a 1st come 1st served your mistaken. Ive been seen efficiently and cared for in this practice in Columbia and olney over the past 35 years and after 6 major and many minor injuries I wont go anywhere else.I understand that OP think there bo bo is the most important but get a life its not and that is why Dr get to decide what is or is not a priority, go get a sandwich or a bag of chips if you cant sit still for an hour, better yet you can have the pipe of a Syringe put in your knee and Ill take your bo bo and gladly wait 2 hrs to be told you need a motrin, stop overreacting and understand that your not the only person in the world.With companion and understanding you will be a lot happier.

Utter incompetence, carelessness, negligence, and deceptive business practices on top of all that.Having seen their staff in action, I wouldnt trust them to take my temperature, let alone advise on any kind of serious orthopedic complaint.They cant view your x-rays unless you had them done at their office, they schedule you with a doctor whos supposed to perform surgery in less than 1 hour and who has no time or inclination to see you or to consider your case so that he can advise you, then they lie to you about cost of equipment to trick you into buying it, which is when they really have you. Because once you walk out with the equipment - they will not accept returns, not even if they misrepresented the price to you. They also wont return months worth of phone calls to billing trying to resolve these...Do yourself a favor and stay away.

My experience with this practice was dreadful. My son and I waited over an hour and 45 minutes to be seen by the doctor for a follow up appointment. The appointment lasted all of four minutes. The billing practices of this office are deceptive and the charges to the patient are not explained. In addition, the office collected copays that they were not entitled to. I would strongly encourage you to seek care elsewhere.

We were sent there as a recommendation from the re after my kid fractured his leg. They treated him horribly and scared him to death by not letting me near enough to hold his hand when they put on his cast. The return visit we had someone who was a little nicer but the rude people were still present as well.(Why this was two stars instead of just one). Pick anyone else. Please?

The Almighty Lord guided us to Dr Sanjog Mathur. He is very patient and thorough. He took good care of my mummy during her procedure. He has excellent bedside manners. He made sure we understood the whole process, he answered all our questions. He even brought my mummys surgery date forward when he noticed the pain was becoming unbearable for her to wait 3 weeks for her originally scheduled date. In fact, I recommend him! My God will bless him and his generations unborn. Love you Dr Mathur!Receptionist were always very helpful. Whenever I urgently had to speak with Beverly they will assist in getting my call through.Dr Mathurs Tech (Eshan) He was sooooo nice to my mummy. My mum commented that Eshans kindness and willingness to assist her lessened her pain unlike the Tech we met on our first visit. No need to mention his name. Well I thank God for His mercies. Thank you Potomac Valley!

Awful!!One hour wait time and still haven’t been seen, and “two patients ahead of you”.Terrible customer service.Go somewhere else.

Not only incompetent, but rude as well. Nothing redeeming about this dumpster fire whatsoever. From the laughable wait times, to the abrasive and dismissive service, to the doctor who is brief, yet still manages to be rude and dismissive, I have no idea how they stay in business, its a complete and utter train-wreck.But to be fair...they were of no help for my sons ankle and we ended up seeing real doctors elsewhere.Google, really need a 0-star review to be accurate here, help me out...

DR.YEH IS VERY RUDE AND MEAN THE CARE IS horrible AND I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO THIS LOCATION. HE TREATED ME LIKE I WAS A BURDEN. AFTER SURGERY MY INJURY WAS NOT HEALING FAST ENOUGH AND HE TREATED ME LIKE IT WAS MY FAULT THAT I AM NOT HEALING FAST ENOUGH INSTEAD OF OFFERING SOLUTIONS. HE REFUSED to do a MRI SO I FEEL LIKE HE PROBABLY ASSUMED WHAT MY INJURY WAS INSTEAD OF CONFIRMING. STAY AWAY FROM POTOMAC VALLEY!!!

3:45 appt. Arrived a little early. Moved to room after 30 mins in waiting room. Continued to wait another 30 mins. This was a follow up and the appt was a 10 minute conversation to say youre doing fine come back in a month if you want toFIRST TIME REVIEW WRITER - NEED TO CLARIFYAs I am not the patient, it is not up to me to review the service provided. The wait was a bit excessive, but this was near the end of the day (to be clear). Dr. Mess has always been very good and both my wife and I would recommend him in the future and intend to continue to do so ourselves.The come back if you want to comment - - wrong context.It was agreed that she would assess in a month and would come back if she felt it necessary.LESSON: Be Clear and think before you post. Clearly - I did not.

Dr. Tang is cool dude. but everything else. Blows a huge wang

From the receptionist to the medical assistant and especially the doctor, I did not encounter one kind or caring person. The doctor said he didnt know what to do for my problem. Then he threw the X-ray CD across the room into my purse. The scheduler was unable to fit me in for a follow up appointment so Im outta there! Stay away!!

If I could reach zero it would be. I am 34 years old and I went to Potomac Valley because excruciating hip pain. I went to see dr. Sethi and January and he was convinced it was my back period sent me to an MRI for it told me that I need to get a shot. Send me to a pain management, pain management doctor advised me was not my back it was my hip got a MRI for my hip. Dr. Says he then sent me back to dr. Soudan to get an injection in my hip. The pain management for did not want to do the injection because he said I have fractures and torn labrum and bone spurs and was confident that it will not relieve my pain, budget the shot anyways her doctor said these orders. Advise dr. Sethi that I was still in pain and still hurt to rotate my leg he referred me to Charles Mess jr. I met with the doctor over 3 times didnt multiple MRIs for him to send me to an oncologist. He sent me to an oncologist without a referral and explanation. Oncologist season 2 was over an hour away and when I went to see him the ecologist was shocked and surprised that I was even there because there was no reason for me to actually be there. Dr. Charles Mess has never even done a blood test on me and advise me that blood test will not even show if I have cancer or not. To make a long story short send to Dr at least 8 times within 2 months have forever Ive had injections and never had a plan just referred me and set up my insurance. Have made formal complaints to their office manager and was told sorry and good luck to you. Its to the point now that Im believing to hire a lawyer because I believe theyre committing some sort of fraud. Got a second opinion from a different well-known orthopedic and he was shocked and appalled by these Dr period warning dont go there theyre just going to ask you to have multiple visits and exhaust your insurance . Im going to upper management was absolutely no help. Full of excuses and no answers. Oh and the second opinion that I did get within the first visit so that I had Fai a torn labrum and an e-cigarette repair that I have a fracture in my pelvis, and I have arthritis due to the traumatic injury.

When your child gets injured, this is the place to come.I agree with those who complain about the wait times, they can be beastly. BUT, the Friday when we waited several hours to be seen, they then got us into the MRI then back to the surgeon for the surgery consultation and scheduled for surgery before we left that day - which was after 6pm. On a Friday.At no time did I feel they took advantage of our distress. Dr Gelb answered our questions and allayed our fears. He made the initial diagnosis (ACL tear), then got us the MRI for verification and to see the extent of the damage. ACL reconstruction has a small window of action for the best outcome and he was well versed in that process and made sure we were scheduled accordingly.Dr Gelb performs many ACL reconstructions and knew the most current techniques. I dont think a professional athlete couldve gotten better. The anesthesiologist was very competent, which helped make me less nervous. It was comforting to have a specialized surgery center to go to -- I worried less about secondary infections.But the true value is how much better her knee is now. We are now entering our fifth month since the surgery and progress is great. The scars are barely noticeable, range of motion is terrific, very little scar tissue, and the physical therapists are working with us to build muscle groups to prevent future tears. Thats why this practice gets my five stars.

Thought it would have improved since my daughter had a wrist injury in 2008..no such luck. Still kept us waiting for over an hour despite me arriving early. Moving on to another ortho doctor...

Dr. Gelb is fantastic!! Never had an issue and I’ve been a patient for a few years now.

Potomac Valley Orthopedists suck, especially Dr. Ira Gelb who loudly announced in the hallway that he didnt want to deal with my husbands problem, so he passed him to another doctor that hes been waiting an hour for.

Appointment was 2 hours ago and still waiting as I write this. Pathetic

Two hour wait time and rude doctor and staff

Very responsive, same day appointment some times. No waits, Never a problem.

Awful incompetent rude staff. Very unprofessional!! Dr Tang was ok but I will look for another to go to

Horrible. Wait time is inexcusable. Staff is rude. We will not be using them again. No respect for a patients time.

They cut off my foot accidentally

Pathetic service!!!!

Great Doctor and staff
