I went to Dr. A. Gowda. For a clean up of a shoulder injury. He never explain to me what his…read moredecision was to work on my shoulder. He ended up cutting my Bicep!

Dr. K performed my knee surgery and has been a great ortho doc for follow-up and future options for my other knee (my legs aren't straight (genetics)). His super knowledgable and does not recommend unnecessary tests, surgery, meds, etc. He will even go so far as to recommend physical therapy before advising on injections, surgery, etc. He also asks what you prefer and gives the options/possible outcomes with those options. He listens and gives his professional medical option after he hears what's going on with you. He also performed a rotator cuff surgery on my shoulder. Excellent bedside manners, explains everything, doesn't talk over you and follows up with you.

Forest Glen Location Silver Spring MD…read more I had an appointment today. From reception to the medical assistant and x-ray, everyone was great. They get 5 stars. However, I won't return. regarding Dr. K. L.: (1) She didn't wash her hands upon entering the room (2) She deliberately pressed upon the fractured area to see if it hurt (of course, it's a fracture) when she could have started more gently (3) She continued to make limited eye contact, which made me lose confidence in her; she lacks bedside manner and empathy. (4) I got the impression she was just passing through and made a pitstop on her way. Perhaps she had some other pressing personal or medical engagement. One star. I won't be back, not even for a followup!

At times there may be a wait to see the doctor , however the office is clean, pleasant and comfortable waiting area. Dr. Alam has cared for me since 2015 after a work related accident.

If not for Dr. Alam's care and meticulous review of my medical health and progress not sure how I would have made it . I needed surgery and wanted Dr. Alam to perform the surgery, after discussing my case he referred me to a Neurosurgeon which was more appropriate based on the medical necessity. Thank you Dr. Alam

Not being a doctor, it's difficult for me to evaluate Dr. Alam's ability as an orthopedist. I have…read moreno particular reason to doubt that he is very qualified, and in conversation he always seemed very competent. But the general experience at his clinic was quite bad. I always waited for between 30 and 90 minutes from my appointment time before being seen by him, and when he finally did come by the exam room I was waiting in, our interaction never lasted more than 5 minutes. I wouldn't go so far as to say that he seemed disinterested in treating me, but he certainly seemed rushed. The billing was generally confusing, and during one appointment I was charged an additional $200 to compensate for errors and omissions in the previous bills. At no point was I given any indication of how much various procedures or equipment would cost me out of pocket, and I had to go out of my way (requesting printouts of itemized bills) to even figure out what I was being charge for.

The office was more concerned about selling me ill-fitting products than actually treating my neck,…read moreback and foot problems. I was sent to get x-rays that only after 7 months, and several physical therapy sessions not treating the problem, did Dr. Kessous return my calls. While in the office for my one visit, I was billed $180 for night splints that were the wrong size, I do not use, and they would not accept a return (these can be purchased for $20-30 at your local pharmcy). I was also sold $45 off-the-shelf orthotics that actually worsened my plantar fascistis. I should also note that the x-rays were a separate bill ($70 out of pocket). Because I had not had any results from the x-rays or word from the doctor on either my bill or my physical therapy, I cancelled a follow-up appointment for which I was then billed another $40. The billing office was terrible and unresponsive but finally (8 months later) credited me those last $40. In the end, I received better advice and more attentive service from the salespeople at my local running store.

The Centers for Advanced Orthopedics is a scumbag operation, funneling patients in and out as fast…read moreas possible, attempting to add on extra charges after-the-fact, lying about paperwork being sent out, and then lying ON the paperwork about it being 'past due'. They are unmistakably driven by profit over patient care, and are a perfect encapsulation of what's wrong with the American medical industry. I had 1 appointment with Dr. Keeling. He was late. He then rushed through our appointment as fast as humanly possible, spending maybe 6 or 7 minutes with me. He told me I had some medical-jargon-named condition in my knee, and that I should start PT in their PT office ASAP, ideally that day. He then tried to leave at the point in the appointment where a good doctor would then sit and talk me through the condition, what I should do, what I should expect, etc. But no, he didn't even tell me the used name (arthritis), and provided no helpful advice or guidance going forward. He just wanted me signed up for PT and he wanted the appointment OVER. So I got home and had to google all of the information that a good doctor would have provided, and, ya know, trust that what I'm finding on the internet is sound medical advice. That would have been enough for a 1-star review, but there's more scumbaggery. Within days of the appointment, I started receiving urgent emails from their office claiming I had an Overdue Balance with them. After getting 5 or 6 of these emails without having gotten a physical bill for them for anything, I called in (they don't have an email address). The woman who answered assured me that the physical bill had been sent out and I would see it in a few days at the most. Several MONTHS go by, and I receive nothing except more urgent emails. Today, the physical bill finally arrived 3 months after the appointment. The bill claims a SECOND co-payment is owed, and that I am 60 days past due. It's this kind of used-car-salesmen nonsense that keeps people, in general, hesitant to go to doctors at all. So my advice would be to stay far, far away from this profit center and Dr. Keeling.
