I came in injured and in…read morea wheelchair, and in the initial meeting with Dr. K he instructed me that I needed a different brace and they put it on me in the meeting. Never notified me of the cost (1200$, which btw you can find the exact one on Amazon for 100$), but more importantly I never signed a form for consent. When I received the initial charge and asked to see the signature for the brace, I immediately notified the office multiple times that the signature was not mine. However the front desk would deny my calls and play it off as if I didn't want to pay the bill, nor would return my calls for months... as opposed to the serious allegation that the form was forged. Incredibly disappointing from such a highly regarded doctor, as I've never had an issue with his counterpart in the practice.

So read that stance again- this practice TAKES INSURANCE. For most people that means nothing- there's an assumption of we have insurance so a practices should take it. As an insurance accepting practice myself- that is NOT how it works. Small medical practice's (solo woman owned / mom and pop establishments etc like this one)- take a HUGE hit when accepting insurance contracts for their reimbursement. At this point many small business are getting paid HALF of what their cash only / self pay only counterparts are getting paid. Also- keep in mind, an insurance contract doesn't increase with inflation, cost of living, rising employer salaries etc.... I give the business lesson because it's only fair for people to be informed as to why a business structure is what it is for the sake of survival... Now on to the actual PRACTITIONERS- this staff is honestly saving people from surgeries, worsening conditions, and maladaptive body patterns... I've been working with them for 8-9 years and my mom now drives from VA to go to them as well. They're priceless in their cleanliness, knowledge, anatomy and functionality awareness plus FULL body attention. I cannot express how many times a DOCTOR or SURGEON has sent me in for an issue- and they've figured out it's stemming from somewhere totally different ! They also are certified to do dry needling and that's PRICELESS !!

I regret coming here. I trusted Chris because of his years of experience but this was the worst…read moreexperience I've ever had with a pt. Similar to another poster, I spent around 15 minutes with Chris per session and even less when he was late (often 10-15 min after my appt time) getting me from the waiting room. He'd juggle 3 patients at once (nobody else at the clinic did this) and even when he didn't have this many patients I was alone while he was on the other side of the clinic or he just disappeared completely. When I brought up concerns about pain (not muscle pain or soreness), he'd just brush off my concerns and rush through my questions. Older reviews mentioned how friendly the pts are but this was not my experience. Chris was nice at first but then was checked out. Most of the time he was either glued to his computer looking at restaurant menus or chatting with his friends who came to see him. The final straw was hearing him make completely inappropriate comments.

With that said, my begrudging attendance at physical therapy is not so bad here because I know my PT is focused on helping my physical issues improve. I have worked with Kira while attending sessions, and she is always guiding me to do the best exercises for my post-surgeries' ailments and weaknesses. It's always the little exercises done the right way that make a world of difference. As time has passed, she has only encouraged me to push a little harder every time. I also appreciate that the focus here depends on the patient/client needs and interests. Some PT's simply don't have the ability to do this. Here, they watch you carefully and cautiously and record everything possible. They make you so Home exercises and emphasize the importance. They change weekly and daily sessions' exercises and therapy as needed, and they know, because they are asking the questions to be asked as related to your lifestyle needs and goals. They make sure you are being truthful because they'll watch you in the exercises and check your strength themselves, as well as testing and pushing your muscles and movement themselves. I am so happy to have gone to PhysioDC, but happier that I don't need to go anymore!

I had an appointment with Dr. John Ferrell on September 12, 2024, at the ROSM Washington, DC office…read morebut left before seeing him because I was not seen in a timely manner and left after an inappropriate time to wait. This is the second time I have experienced this problem with ROSM including previously in July with another doctor in the practice. Both times I was taken to an examining room in a timely manner and was left to wait in the room. After over 30 minutes, I left the room and spoke to one of the staff to ask if there was a problem. Both times I was told that the doctor was with another patient and would be in to see me in a while. My first complaint, therefore, is that it is not the patient's responsibility to determine why there is a delay. The doctor should instruct his/her staff to let the patient know that there is a delay and what are the patient's alternatives. Both times the staff person apologized for which I appreciate their apologies. An apology by a staff person, however, does not indicate that there will be any change in how waiting patients are informed of delays. On September 12, 2024, the staff person told me that the doctor was in a room with no clock, which is not an excuse but demonstrates poor planning by the doctor. Therefore, my second complaint is that the ROSM Washington, DC office is poorly managed and fails to properly plan appointment times for patients. I will not be returning to this practice for any reason.

The good reviews and recommendation from my doctor made me want to go to WWPT, but there is clearly something not right with that business. Message received: go somewhere else.

She explained exactly what she planned to do with me over the next 4-6 months and said she was confident she could get me to as close to "normal" as possible. Here, 6 months later, I'm so happy to say that I'm pretty much at 95% of what I used to be. She saved my knee with needling, exercises, and manual therapy. I cannot day enough good things about her and the entire practice, and I recommend them to literally everyone I know if they so much as mention discomfort. If I ever need PT again, I will run (since I can do that now!) back to Washington Wellness.

I'll make this brief. First, the new name for the group is The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics…read more Administrative Staff - as others have noted, the admin staff is not the friendliest bunch and haven't been in the five plus years I've been coming here. A simple request to have my medical records faxed to another doctor was like pulling teeth. Building - the office moved and is now in a building on 18th. That's fine with me because it's closer to my job. One problem. The parking garage under the building has no elevator. It seems a bit tone deaf for an Orthopaedics' office to move to a building with no elevator from the garage to the lobby. So if you can't do stairs, get dropped off in front. The new office isn't as cozy as the old one and feels a bit sterile. No me gusta. Dr. Sheer - I've been going to Dr. Sheer since 2015 and have no issues with him.

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

Then you enter a room with three unnumbered doors and are left to wonder which is the right one. In 50 minutes, he literally got to... my hamstrings and calves. That's it. He just dug his elbow in for so long, at times I wondered if he fell asleep. On top of that, he was disgustingly coughing. When it's your job to touch people, you shouldn't work when sick. Periodically he would awkwardly ask if I was ok. Then at the end, he said "I know you wanted art but you weren't wearing shorts so I couldn't do it. We can do it next time." He couldn't have mentioned that in the beginning of the session? I actually had shorts in my bag but at no point did he tell me To change. He just motioned for me to go to the table. So, I basically feel like I wasted $160. His communication was awful. I guess my hamstrings feel more loose than they have in a while, hence the three stars. But I also feel extremely lopsided because my quads are still tight. Because he never touched them. As a sports massage therapist, he should know it's really bad to have extreme muscle imbalances like that.
