I've had one left should surgery and one right shoulder surgery with Dr. Adams. I had great results! I am 42 and remain very active in the gym, with my kids coaching sports, and now doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I have arthritis and so am currently seeking another successful surgery with Dr. Adams for my left knee. If you are looking to remain active in your middle to late years, I strongly recommend Dr. Adams who specializes in sports-related injuries and surgeries.

Dr. Brandão is by far one of the best doctors I have seen, and I highly recommend him for any foot/ankle issues. After seeing 4 other doctors over a course of 5 years with no relief, I made an appointment with Dr. Brandão, even though his office is three hours away. I was extremely impressed by his professionalism. He gave me several options for treatment and was proactive when I opted to have surgery on my foot. His care and precision have given me excellent results. In just four weeks, I am feeling better than I have in years. Dr. Brandão's knowledge, bedside manner, and quality of care far exceeded my expectations. He and his Medical Assistant Abby were wonderful and able to answer any questions I had. Everyone in the office is friendly and welcoming.

Dr. Singh is a wonderful caring very knowledgeable specialist who goes the extra mile to make sure his patients are comfortable and that they completely understand the care that they will receive. Terrific bedside manner, patience is a virtue of his as well as his understanding of fear that patients experience when in pain. Very thorough and competent - I don't believe you will find a better Pain Management specialist anywhere. I highly recommend him. He is the best!

I would like to commend one of your physicians: Dr. Marc Lipton. I have been seeing Dr. Lipton for several years now. His patience is astounding because I'm such a difficult case. I think that Dr. Lipton is an excellent physician and he really works with me and with my feet, which can be quite challenging. He is instrumental in keeping my feet healthy. Please commend him accordingly; he is a wonderful person and physician.

I met Dr. Janz in 2016 when I had an arthritis issue with my fingers on both hands. He performed surgery and my hands look like new again. He has also operated on a pinched nerve in my husband’s hand. We now live in Hagerstown and still go to the Eldersburg office to see him. He is the only doctor for hands for us. He is a very caring person.

Thank you so much Dr. DeMarco! About 3 years ago, I was suffering from extreme sacroiliac pain. I went to see many doctors and no one could help me; that was until I saw Dr. DeMarco. He performed the initial exam/visit then scheduled me for a procedure. The procedure took about 30 minutes to complete and I have been pain free ever since, which I consider a miracle! I thank God for pointing me to Dr. DeMarco who was able to rid me of the severe and debilitating pain. I will never forget Dr. DeMarco and thank him everyday. He knows his stuff and is a true professional. I recommend him to my friends all the time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Coming to Orthopaedic Associates has improved the quality of my life over the past 14 years. First with Dr. Kinnard, then Dr. Brouillet, then Dr. Wallace - all have treated me professionally, courteously, & competently. As a result of seeing these doctors, I have learned to continue my active lifestyle despite setbacks such as rotator cuff tears & arthritis. I feel that they treat the whole me & see me as a person, not just a patient or customer. The support staff at this practice have always been courteous & proficient. From diagnosis to surgery (if needed) to follow-through, I have confidence when I go to see these doctors & have recommended friends to their practice.

Dr. Khurram Pervaiz is the ABSOLUTELY BEST DOCTOR IN THIS OFFICE! He treated me for a trigger finger and did a valve release in December 2017. From the moment he stepped into the office on my initial visit, Dr. Pervaiz was professional, caring, warm and made me feel so at ease with his bright smile. He was genuinely concerned about my pain and after explaining my test results and exam gave me the surgical resolution to my problem. Surgery was AWESOME! Dr. Pervaiz made me feel so comfortable and took away my fears. He explained everything to me prior to and during the procedure. I was amazed at how everything went so smooth and I felt exactly the way he said I would. His surgical technique and skills are superior to any other surgeon I’ve ever encountered. This was the best ever experience with a doctor over ever had. It’s been 5 wks and I’ve healed very nicely, no pain and you can’t see any scar! THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. PERVAIZ.

I feel moved to write about my MRI experience today at the Columbia office. I have had a closed MRI in the past and was thrilled to find the open MRI as an option. I was escorted back by Wendi and immediately felt comforted by her humor and positivity. I was apprehensive but thought I could handle the MRI. I was wrong. My heart started beating rapidly and I thought I needed to stop the procedure. Wendi and Pat knew just what to do. They comforted me and encouraged me through kind words of empathy. They were able to reassure me enough to continue. If it weren’t for them, I don’t think I would have been able to finish the much needed MRI. I feel strongly that these women should be recognized for outstanding job performance and just plain kindness- two exceptional women!!

This practice is the best in Howard County. We are fortunate to have Dr. Polsky and Kristin caring for our daughter. Dr. Polsky is not only an excellent surgeon, but he also has a caring and compassionate demeanor and takes the time to explain everything on a level that is very understandable. Kristin has been great, too! I also can't say enough about the physical therapy practice and we love Morgan. Everyone in the PT department is friendly and welcoming. Well done by everyone we have had the pleasure of interacting with during our daughter's diagnosis, surgery, and continued treatment. You all are simply the best! Thank you!!

Dr. Blam did both my cervical fusion (neck) and double lumbar fusion (back) in 2017. On a scale of 1 to 10, he is a 12. Surgeries were tremendously successful far exceeding expectations for success and recovery time. I am pain-free for the first time in 45 years. Flew my 86 yo dad up for a consult for his back following a car wreck. He is truly a brilliant surgeon but has limited time. Ask questions and he will answer until you are satisfied. His staff, especially the surgical staff are great.
~ Terry H.
Dr. Grosso is the best. He will put you at ease, first visit, and will do what is best for you. Always! My doctor since 2005. Tom ACL, Knee Synvisc (hyaluronate) injections for arthritis. Rotor Cuff repair. Extremely satisfied patient.
