I'd like to operate on both at once". "Oh, do I have to," I asked. "No"...he said. "You you will have a much faster recovery having one done a a time". So, I had my first total knee replacement (TKR) done on my right knee. I begin to have issues in a month such as pain in right heel and right buttock. My right foot now turned out causing my right knee to turn inward especially when walking up and down stairs. I felt I could fall at any time. So on the second month visit I mentioned my problems. He then looked me straight into my eyes and sharply said, "Come back in a year"! So, I waited until after a year to see him. On that appointment I told him that I was happy to say that the pain I'd experienced in my right heel and buttock had resolved itself but that I was concerned that I might fall as my right foot continued to turn out which caused my right knee to turn inward especially when I was navigating the many stairs in my old house. Plus, now I was anxious about having my other (left ) knee replaced as I was having such problems with my new right knee (lousy balance and gait). "Well, have you noticed that you have flat feet?" ..." (I have never had flat feet) And, that the reason the foot turns out is that there is a hip problem", he continued. Then, strangely, he asked, "You don't want to have your left knee operated on and have the year long recovery.....do you"??? "Well, then, why don't you go home and think about it for a while?"? Then, he actually repeated the question several more times! "Then, if you want to go ahead I will do the surgery. Call all my surgical coordinator and have her set up an appointment"... --There was so much negativity on his part at this last visit, blaming me for the serious issues of my right foot turning out and the right knee to turn inward causing imbalance, gait and stress issues. And, can you believe he was always so friendly and attentive in many years before surgery?? I told my hb as we were leaving his office, "I don't think Dr Romness wants to operate again". And, who wants a doctor to operate again when he treats you like he could care less about you when problems arise after his surgery??? I can not under any circumstances recommend Dr Romness for total knee replacement. I do recommend that you do your research-in depth. Read read read. Ask many many questions and get many referrals from friends and acquaintances.

Really disappointing experience today with the front office staff at the Arlington and Centreville…read morelocations. In Arlington when we got there at 5:15 pm with my 13 year old son (who has a foot injury) we were told by the front desk agent that they stop taking walk-ins at 5. She encouraged us instead to go to their Centreville office, where they take walk-ins until 9 pm. So we did the long drive to Centreville, where at 7:13 pm we were told by the front desk agent at that location that (a) they are not open until 9, and (b) they were no longer taking walk-ins before they close at 7:30. So we had to turn around and go home without being seen. What a waste of a night. I'll stay away from this operation. Lesson learned.

I previously had the same surgery on my right foot with a different orthopedic surgeon, and the recovery was extremely long and painful. Because of that experience, I was honestly nervous going into this procedure. However, Dr. Schipper completely changed my expectations. I experienced minimal pain and very little swelling, and the healing process was fast and smooth. The incision work was excellent -- only three small incisions that healed beautifully. The difference in recovery compared to my prior surgery was night and day. Dr. Schipper is not only highly skilled but also very kind and reassuring. He takes time to explain everything and makes you feel prepared and comfortable before surgery. The office staff is also wonderful -- responsive, organized, and supportive throughout the entire process. You can truly tell he is very experienced in this procedure. I've even referred people I know to him, and they've had great outcomes as well. If I ever needed this surgery again, I would choose Dr. Schipper without hesitation. I highly recommend him. Terry

After months of ankle and foot pain, my PT referred me to Dr. Buchanan and after the first visit, I knew I was on the right path to healing.

I had ankle ligament reconstruction a year ago and my foot is now better than ever. The office was great to work with on scheduling appointments, the PA Jessica was fabulous, and the surgery was very straightforward. One thing I really liked was the detailed instructions for pre and post surgical care. This established realistic expectations for my recovery and something I could refer back to when needed. They are a very caring and helpful group of people and I will continue to use them for my joint care.
