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.

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.

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

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.

I went back to him every 2 to 3 months for that year explaining to him that I was diligent with my physical therapy and taking the medication he told me to take, and yet the hip wasn't getting any better. But He continued to insist it was ongoing inflammation for over a year. Since he wasn't willing to consider what else it might be or offer any other solutions to help me, I went out and got a second opinion. So I saw another surgeon, and after he operated on me, he determined that I had extensive scarring inside my hip binding the hip flexor muscles to the hip capsule. After he removed all the scar tissue from my hip, it was much better and pain free. Dr. Wolff refused to consider that anything else may be going on, and so he wasn't able to help me. While a nice man, I found that he was rushed during our appointments and he wasn't always in the moment. So I don't feel he was always listening to what I had to say. Regardless, him continuing to insist my pain was due to inflammation for an entire year wasn't really him thinking about what else the problem might be or to consider other solutions.

Ok but you're Urgent Care. Anyway Patient First Clinton MD. recommended OrthoVirginia specifically the Walker Lane office. I was told they're really good and could remove the fluid. Even when I made the appointment, the representative said call OrthoVirginia Walker Lane and make sure the doctor can remove the fluid. I called the office and a staffer told me the doctor can remove the fluid. When I got there to sign in I should have known this was going to be a mess when another patient came out yelling how rude one of the staffer was to her. When the doctor came in she said she doesn't do that. If she sticks a needle in there it could get infected or may return. I wanted to say well why did a staffer say you could remove the fluid? But I was dumbfounded and speechless I just listen to what she had to say. She told me the fluid will go away on its own to buy a paddle elbow sleeve. Mind you the fluid in my elbow has collected so much that it looks like a plum on the inside of my elbow. I wasted my time and money at both Patient First in Clinton MD and OrthoVirginia Walker Lane. Paying co-pays to both places for them to do nothing but take my money. It cost me $100 to buy a $12 padded elbow sleeve. I don't recommend OrthoVirginia Walker Lane.
