This review is a little over due, twice. I have had two procedures done by Dr Nagda and his staff over the last 3 years. The most recent was a reverse shoulder replacement (rt side) that was done in Dec 2019. It is now Oct 2020, a little late, sorry. At least the review will cover not just the normal recovery period but a generous return to normal life period. I am a very active outdoors person, I fly fish, bow hunt, and paddle canoes and kayaks and carry backpacks. Obviously I was concerned about my ability to live my "normal" life after shoulder replacement. Long story short, I have not found a limit on what I can do yet. That is not to say that I am reckless or that I am being irresponsible, I have almost the same range of motion I did 20 years ago. Since the week of the surgery I sleep through the night. That hadn't happened for the last year before surgery. I should have done it much sooner is all I can say. Staff was great and Dr Nagda listened to all my concerns and was confident that I would return to the activities that I was used to. Since the replacement I have been on a week long fly fishing trip, I have returned to bowhunting and I am climbing trees to hang stands with no issues. I paddled 3 days in a canoe on a trip with my daughter and i have run a chain saw for more hours that I care to. I simply could not be happier with the outcome. Of course physical therapy needs to be followed religiously and strengthening after therapy is officially over helps. Lastly, the reason I went to Dr Nagda in the first place is because of the wonderful results from my left shoulder rotator cuff rebuild. A story for another day. As much as I appreciate his skills and he is a nice guy, I hope I am done with him for a while!! But I do still owe him a salmon. read more

I have no words to express my gratitude to Dr. Nagda. When my aunt needed an orthopedist because of her shoulder problems, I showed her the pictures of the Anderson Clinic doctors and she chose Dr. Nagda. The wisdom of an 89 years old woman is not mistaken.We arrived at the appointment and we met with a special human being, he evaluated her and gave us treatment options.After PT and cortisone injections she is doing well. Now this is my story;I had swelling and pain in my right knee for months,another orthopedist outside Anderson clinic had evaluated me and said that my problem was arthritis,that every 4 months I had to get an injection until a knee replacement was necessary. After seeing the result of my aunt with Dr. Nagda's treatment I decided to seek a second opinion with him. The best decision in my life, he evaluated me, sent me an MRI and gave me treatments options for the torn meniscus of my knee. I decided on surgery because I knew I was in the best hands. Today,almost 6 weeks after surgery I can say that I have returned to my normal life and painless!!! Dr. Nagda is not only a knowledgeable professional, he is a compassionate human being,he listens and give treatment options,as a patient I feel that if he were part of my family. Everyday he is in our prayers so he can help people like us. Dr. Nagda is DEFINITELY THE BEST!!!! Nydia Cay-Rosado read more

Dr Nagda is the best. His bedside manners are the best I have ever seen. I took my dad to see doctor Nagda back in March 2021for a rotator cuff tear. Dr Nagda is not only a great Surgeon but also a great human being. my dad has always felt anxious about doctors due to his limited English but with Dr Nagda was a completely different story. When Dr Nagda told my dad that he needed surgery, my dad was not hesitant or scared I remember him saying to me " I feel that he will do a great job" and 5 months later I can say my dad was 1 million percent correct. It is now September and my dad is fully recover; his strenght is back and has gone back to work. My family and I cant thank him enough. He never rushed during an appointment. He treatmet my dad as if he was the only patient for the day ( God this is true). Even though my dad does not speak English Dr Nagda took the time to listen to my dad. what surprised my dad the most is that Dr Nagda speaks a lot of Spanish and tried his best to communicate with my dad as much as he could. to be honest I can go on and on about Dr Nagda but In my dad's words " Muchas gracias Dr Nagda es usted el mejor" read more

When I came to see Dr. Nagda, it was about 2 1/2 months after my initial fall which damaged my shoulder. I had researched and tried several remedies I found on the internet but my pain continued and was getting worse. I didn't want surgery but I received two opinions that said my injury was significant and I needed surgery. When I had my consultation with Dr. Nagda, he listened to my concerns and explained in laymen's terms my condition and the pros & cons of surgery. At no time did I feel rushed into making a decision and he answered every question I had. Since a lot of time had passed since my injury, he took immediate action because I was at risk of permanent disability. The surgery went well, I followed his detailed after surgery instructions, and then physical therapy. I'm 9 months after surgery and my shoulder feels great. I'm expected to make a full recovery and am almost back to everything I did before. I never expected such a great outcome and I attribute it to his expertise and my physical therapist who he had recommended. read more

There are no words to describe how thankful and grateful I am for Dr. Nagda's knowledge, understanding, empathy and care during the extremely difficult time I had with my shoulder injury. It has been 3 years since my first injury and original diagnosed. After multiple surgery, misdiagnosed and failed treatments, I was referred to Dr. Nagda by my physical therapist due to the pain and damage to my shoulder/arm. Since the 1st day I saw him, he correctly diagnosed the problem (I had a bone infection) and immediately took actions to correct it. It has been a long and painful road. Thanks to Dr. Nagda I can say I am ok now and I can live my life again. Dr. Nagda was the instrument used by God to finally bring the healing and restoration I needed it. Wonderful human being. Outstanding doctor/surgeon. The BEST out there! Thank you Dr. Nagda. read more

Dr. Nagda is a down-to-earth kind of guy. He avoided overcomplicated descriptions when talking to me and focused simply on my symptoms and what he determined was the cause and necessary steps to correct them. I have had multiple shoulder surgeries completed by Dr. Nagda. Every one was explained thoroughly and executed exactly as described. I only had one issue with the results and it was a risk that was thoroughly understood and explained and that I accepted before hand. The care I received and the compassion and support provided was without equal. From the front desk, to the in-room assistants, nurses, and even med students at times, everyone was friendly, concerned with my well being and helpful in any way they could be. I highly recommend Dr. Nagda for any shoulder surgery being considered. read more

I met Dr. Nagda in 2017 because I was having pain in my right shoulder that was affecting my ability to live my regular life. I was also having pain in my left shoulder, but it wasn't as bad. I had reverse right shoulder replacement surgery in Sept., 2017. Since that time there has been no pain and the shoulder healed well. When I went for my one year checkup I made an appointment to have my left shoulder replaced. It was a reverse again, and again everything went smoothly. I feel like I never had a shoulder problem. I have recommended Dr. Nagda to everyone who tells me about their shoulder problems. All of the people I dealt with at the Anderson Clinic were kind, helpful and professional. If I have other orthopedic problems I will go there for help. Thank you Dr. Nagda! read more

Rate 5.5 out of 5: great surgeon with superb communication skills. I have been a patient of Dr. Nagda for the past three years, he has fixed both my right and left rotator cuff and a torn labrum via surgical repair. His bedside manner is very good and he takes the time to explain the procedure and the pros and cons of surgical repair. He prefers for patients to try physical therapy if he feels it will resolve the problem without surgery. This is one of the reasons I rate him so highly. I have referred two close friends to him: both had great outcomes. If you have shoulder issues, he is the doctor to see. His staff is great and very approachable. In closing, great surgeon who takes the time to answer any and all questions honestly! There is no better choice if you have shoulder issues. read more

Dr. Nagda is one of those people you will never forget because of your marvelous experience with him. I was recommended to Dr. Nagda from a relative who was a recovery nurse at INOVA hospital and knew of his excellent reputation as well as having one of her own daughters' shoulder repaired by Dr. Nagda; what better recommendation can one have! Dr. Nagda is so kind and personally connected to my issues that made me feel completely confident in his recommendations and totally satisfied with the results of his surgery. I had a "triple" play of issues in my shoulder : calcium deposit, bone spur, and rotator cuff tear. I am now 5 months after surgery with excellent results. My ultimate goal of resuming golf is close at hand thanks to the superb talents of Dr. Nagda! read more

I've been a satisfied patient of Dr. Nagda for several years. I drive several hours and about 125 miles round trip to see him and don't hesitate for a second as he is worth it! I just saw him again for another emergent issue (decades of military service chewed me up considerably...). His office staff is efficient as usual, and I saw him on time. He was his usual pleasant, professional, and informative self, and quickly diagnosed my latest problem and course of treatment. Then, he also followed up via different approaches with two older ones still plaguing me that might mean I get some relief there as well. We are fortunate to have a Specialist of his caliber available to us! Bravo Zulu to Dr. Nagda! read more

When a doctor truly cares about your health you receive the best care & service. Dr Nagda has been top notch from day one when I had my initial consultation. He listened to my concerns and explained everything he would do to fix the damage to my shoulder. My clumsiness a month post-op caused me to have a 3rd surgery and he worked a miracle with his hands and further repaired my shoulder. He went the extra mile to fine a physical therapist that specialized in repeat injuries to make sure my recuperation would be successful. Needless to say 1 year post op after my 3rd shoulder surgery I am better than I was before! I highly recommend Dr Nagda as a sports medicine surgeon read more

Saw Dr. Nagda for a swimming-related shoulder problem. (Had seen him 4 years ago for a problem with the other shoulder) He quickly and accurately diagnosed the problem (had feared a rotator cuff tear but was only inflammation of the bursa) and prescribed treatment that after only two days is already showing results. Same for an elbow injury (tennis elbow unrelated to tennis) that he treated simultaneously. Dr. Nagda is most pleasant and personable and extremely knowledgeable especially with regard to sports medicine. He understands the athlete's perspective and can effectively relate to them. Recommend him most highly and without reservation. read more

Five months ago, I was experiencing severe shoulder pain and I knew there was only one doctor for me to see: Dr. Sameer Nagda, who's one of the top shoulder specialists in the Washington Metropolitan area and the only member of the elite American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons who practices in Northern Virginia. He performed an arthroscopic repair of my severely shredded rotator cuff. After five months in physical therapy following Dr. Nagda's unique PT protocol, I am free of shoulder pain and I'm back to my gym's rigorous virtual workouts five days a week. Dr. Nagda and his team are simply the best of the best! read more

Dr. Nagda's outstanding skills as a surgeon are widely known. This was the one year anniversary of my shoulder replacement and I have NO pain, full range of motion, normal strength, no restrictions and - did I mention - NO pain! Beyond the pure mechanics of a surgical procedure is the human factor. Dr. Nagda is incredibly kind and compassionate. From the first exam before surgery to this visit a year later, his genuine concern, encouraging nature and gentle sense of humor were always evident. I am grateful for his rare combination of excellence in both surgical skill and caring personality. Thank you, sir! read more

Dr. Nagda performed my rotator cuff surgery. My repair was successful and my recovery has been excellent. I appreciated Dr. Nagda's attention to detail and his expertise regarding rotator cuff repairs. He took the time before and after surgery, and while going through physical therapy to make sure I understood what to expect in my recovery. Every follow-up visit was very helpful to me in understanding exactly the process and timeframe for a full recovery. In addition to Dr. Nagda's professionalism, the professionalism and service provided by the staff at Anderson Orthopedic was outstanding. Thank you! read more

Dr. Nagda is the MVP of Orthopedic Surgery. He is conservative in his knife skills, he will always try to do the least to get you the best result. He genuinely cares about his patients too. I was wreck going through shoulder surgery by himself and he even paired with the outstanding Alisha Nagda for PT. The duo gave me so much confidence and surety that I developed a website to help others, https://www.theshouldersurgerysurvivalguide.com/. He joked that he will need to trip me now so I can write a guide on how to prepare for and get through knee surgery. read more

Had my 3 year checkup for my shoulder surgery. DR Nagda was pleasant and commented on my Xrays and that everything looked great. I was happy! He asked several questions about my health and asked if I had any problems or concerns. As usual he was professional and was truly into making sure that everything was going the way I wanted it! The staff was courteous and ensure that my followup in the future was scheduled. A truly great experience with a Doctor who cares and the staff that supports the patients and who care about me as if I were family. TKS!!! read more

Dr. Nagda performed surgery on my right knee, At the age of 44 and a fall 5 years previously. I was hard headed and pushed forward, to the point it completely failed me. Dr. Nagda explained everything completely and in understandable terms. After surgery the rehab was difficult and sometimes painful, but as of today exactly 5 months later I am 100%. This man knows what he is doing, everything he told me would happen during my recovery did, exactly as described....... BUT remember you have to WANT to help yourself after he performs his "Magic". read more

I had rotator cuff repair surgery from Dr. Nagda. I researched his credentials and reviews prior to selecting him as my surgeon and I definitely made the right selection. He not one to rush a patient through an exam, pushing surgery at any cost. He shows compassion and explains every detail of what will happen prior to, during and following surgery. Most important to me, he is very open to patients who ask questions. He strives to make sure that patient and doctor are on the same page. He's the best and I definitely recommend him! read more
