A routine surgery gone bad…read more I had three trigger finger surgeries performed by Anderson. The first one on my thumb was hugely successful and led me to have the other two fingers done some years later. Surgery was scheduled with the 'new' hand guy and performed on the right hand with no apparent complications. After removing dressing I notice the incision was not sutured so that the sides lined up resulting in a pucker in my palm and even a misalignment of the line that goes across the palm. I bright this up with my surgeon and he brushed me off saying it would 'flatten' after some time. Ok, so two weeks later I go for the left hand, same procedure. I was in the room and they were prepping me for the surgery. The doctor came in the room and injected me with the numbing solution, and I commented, "last time your assistant cleaned my whole arm with butadiene solution prior to injection." This created a bit of a stir as they scurried to clean the area after they made the injections. Surgery was performed and I went on my way. Fast forward 10 days. Recovery was going ok, although right hand very stiff but left (most recent) all of the sudden became very stiff and painful. I went to their office the next morning and from the parking lot they told me that they were too busy to see me and that only my surgeon could see me do come back tomorrow. Disappointedly I left with my swollen and very painful hand. I returned the next morning in worse shape. The surgeon didn't even get me into the exam room and told me to admit myself to the hospital. He said I had an infection in my hand and it needed to be cleaned out and I needed strong antibiotics. The hand had become quite inflamed and very painful but that was just the beginning. Surgery was very invasive adding three more incisions, rooting around and flushing around the tendons and then not stitching back up but letting the wounds heal from an open state. I met with infectious disease staff and they recommended strong antibiotics while they tried to sort out my specific infection. Two days after surgery, the surgeon visited, and performed a probing and painful examination of my hand with no gloves. Two days later I was released from the hospital with a very painful hand. I went back for follow up with the surgeon and he said give both hands time and recommend occupational therapy. 20 sessions later, I can't make a tight fist with either hand, have lost grip strength, and the tendons are so tight they lift in the palm of my hands when I do close my fists. Very uncomfortable every day. The misaligned sutures never 'flattened' out and the trigger finger surgeries were a total fail. I'd never recommend having it done to anybody. I don't think my hands will ever be the same, but Anderson got paid in full and showed no concern whatsoever after I walked out the door.

By the time Carol got her hands on my I was twisted & knotted up MESS! Did you catch that...I WAS... Carol is AMAZING!!! I travel about 50 min to get to her & do it happily! She is worth her weight in gold! She is HIGHLY skilled & how she connects with your body using her fingers, hands, forearms & elbows as her guide will blow your mind! We are now working on scar tissue. NO internal fiber can escape Carol's hands!! She is like a medal detector. Once she gets a "hit" & her "radar" goes off, she gets DOWN in those nooks & crannies & will set you FREE!! Before Carol got her hands on me I could not, without joint pain, twist my torso area, lift my arms above my head, bend over or lift my legs. Now...NOW...I can get into yoga poses I could only DREAM of before!!! Oh yeah....she gives homework assignments. Mine was to do yoga. I communicate with her just like I would my Drs. I don't add to anything without first consulting them. I wanted to start Palaties but she advised against it because palaties is designed to strengthen muscles & at the stage I was in at the time, that would as she explained would strengthen the disfunction I was already dealing with which is the exact opposite of what her goal was for me at that time. If you are suffering in any way in your body, PLEASE reach out to Carol. Help IS out there & she CAN help! Your body will THANK YOU! You owe it to yourself to get your life BACK & to get BACK to the things that pain keeps you from. You will KNOW when you've been TOUCHED BY CAROL!

Eighteen months ago I began my search for a foot and ankle surgeon in the DC metro area. From a…read moreyoung age I developed severe ankle arthritis. My first ankle surgeries were performed in my teens. My ankle problems were anything but ordinary. I needed a skilled surgeon who was at the cutting edge of foot and ankle surgery. I came across some information about Dr. Oliver Schipper who practiced in Arlington and Lorton, Virginia, at the Anderson Orthopedic Clinic. I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Schipper. From the get go I explained to Dr. Schipper that I was there for a second opinion only as I had been receiving treatment from one of the top foot and ankle specialists in the DC metro area. My first appointment with Dr. Schipper was at the Arlington location. I was so impressed with his bedside manner. He was extremely personable, kind, understanding and willing to listen to my story. I soon realized I had found someone who was very well qualified to operate on my ankle. Leading up to surgery Dr. Schipper was informative and so well prepared, explaining the process of how he intended to perform the surgery. I could tell he had put a great deal of thought and wanted to make sure he was taking the most effective route in treating my unique situation. Dr. Schipper made a statement which really meant a great deal to me. He said "thank you for placing your trust in me to work on your ankle." My recovery was a breeze compared to a similar surgery I had had about 10 years earlier. I can without reservation recommend Dr. Schipper. He is a young, innovative, dynamic surgeon. Thank you to him, his assistants and office staff.
