    Dr. Yousefi is an awesome, energetic, informative doctor. She is a breath of fresh air. She is…read morethe second orthopedic doctor I went to about my knee and I am so thankful I decided to try someone else. I work for Medstar and my co-worker had told me how amazing she was. I am a 50 year old above knee amputee. I have been an amputee for 30 years. I had no cartlidge in my knee. I had been constantly on a crutch for 3-4 years . I do not feel I will ever be a candidate for a knee replacement due to being an above knee amputee. When I went to doctor Yousefi, I had already had an xray and an MRI. She explained what the issue was and showed me in her office with an ultrasound. She took her time and made sure I understood. She then gave me 3 options. I don't remember the medical terms, but the first option was to stick a needle in the knee in various places to get the knee to start producing more synovial fluid which your body makes less of as you age. The second option was gel injections that sometimes work and sometimes doesn't. The third option was a procedure called Lipogems that insurance would not cover because they considered it experimental. It was $3500 out of pocket. Lipogems is technology that gently processes your body's own fat tissue in order to, amongst other things, cushion and support areas of injury or damage as your body heals itself. It promotes healing and regeneration. They take fat from your stomach and the fat is processed and injected into your knee. I told Dr. Yousefi I could use my tax return money to pay for the procedure and she suggested to try the needle process first. She said she did not want me to have to pay for the procedure if we could get the knee to function properly without it. I was impressed by this. She did not try to push the procedure at all. We tried the needles and we did see improvement but it was very minimal. She asked if I wanted to try the injections and I told her no, I wanted to do the Lipogems procedure. The procedure was done at the Nerve, Bone and Joint Institute in Washington DC. It was immaculately clean and new looking. I tolerated the procedure well. My fiancé got me through the retraction of the fat part which I felt was a little grueling but well worth it. The injecting into the knee I thought was easier. Dr. Yousefi said most patients typically had a harder time with the injecting process. We were there approximately 2 -3 hours. I had it done on a Thursday and I was able to go back to work on Monday. Immediately, my swelling that was constant up to this point, went down and I could see my knee cap again which I had not been able to see for a couple years. I was able to walk a little better and did not ache as much. The knee also stopped "catching" as often. That took longer. After a few months Dr. Yousefi showed me in the ultrasound where the inflammation went down significantly and we could see cartllidge where there previously was less to none. It has been several months now. I no longer walk with a crutch. I continue to regenerate up to a year after the procedure. I love the way Dr. Yousefi communicates. You can see in her face and eyes that you are all that is on her mind while you're in her office. She remembers what we talk about when I return. She makes a point to know me. She welcomes questions where some physicians make you feel you are bothering them. I never had any doubts with Dr. Yousefi where I have had them with other physicians. I am very glad she is young for selfish reasons. I don't want her to retire any time soon. I hope she will be my physician for many years to come.

    Totally inept!! He operated on me and didn't close the incision properly. I had to go to the ER. He…read moreknew I was there and didn't bother to come by. Dangerous man!!!
