I can't tell you how saddened I am to write this review. I went to see Dr. Petko on several…read moreoccasions for issues relating to my feet. I paid for the inserts, paid for the cortisone shots and therapy. I did this all out of network because I figured that as a runner, he would know feet. My pain didn't heal. At all. I still walk around with pain in my several hundred dollar inserts. Then, a few months later, I get a bill saying that I still owe money that my insurance didn't pay. I told the woman, very nicely, that while the cost was not much, I couldn't pay for something that I didn't receive: good medical care. Well, she disagreed and sent me to a collections agency. I was taken aback by this. Truly taken aback. If a patient says, "I still hurt," should the doctor call you back to see what was wrong? If I wanted cortisone shots, I would have just gone in network. Not out of network to be taken to a collections agency. Shameful business practice and I will, in case you guessed, never be back.

Since I went to Dr. Petko based on his positive Yelp review, I figured I owed him (and Yelp) a…read morereview of my own! I've been putting off getting new orthodics for about five years, out of fear of non-coverage, needing referrals, etc. Finally, i was desperate enough to face whatever potential financial hardship would come my way. From first phone call to the end of the appointment, they were great! The woman at the front desk was very friendly on the phone and when we were discussing appointment times, she was able to get me in that evening due to a cancellation- sweet! Also, she called me 20 minutes later to get a phone number for my insurance so that she could find out whether my plan would cover orthodics, which I thought was great. I had to wait about 45 minutes before I saw Dr. Petko, which was slightly frustrating. However, all the staff and Dr. Petko were extremely apologetic throughout my visit and the doctor let me know that an emergency broken ankle had come in... certainly more important than my foot moldings, so I understood and didn't mind that they made me wait! Like the other yelp review, Dr. Petko is very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time talking to me about my long history of running, injuries, and physical therapy. I don't know if it was because I had to wait so long or because i was the last appointment of the night, but it was refreshing to not have a doctor do the standard "friendly-but-i-got-another-appointment-in-fifteen-minutes-so-lets-hurry-it-up" attitude. I didn't find him to have a "stoic demeanor", though- he was very friendly and i felt like he talked to me runner-to-runner. It felt nice to have a doctor who can relate to and wants to look after my ability to continue doing what I love to do. Would definitely recommend!

Unfortunately, certain post op complications can't be foreseen or avoided when they are not necessarily related to your procedure. (Note: I've had surgery to my back and SI joint in the past, so do not consider these issues his fault.) That said, Dr. Wellborn immediately addressed the issue by referring me to a highly respected neurosurgeon as soon as he recognized there was an issue. He even called the guy ahead of time and greased the skids so I didn't have to wait the month to get squeezed into his schedule. Back to the normal expectations: I was able to ditch the walker within the first week and only used the cane if going long distances by week 2. I rode my bike around the block at day 6! And for a mile at 2 weeks!! It is still easier to ride my bike than walk for long distances but I suspect this may be due to my back. He did a phenomenal job on the wound closure, which was approximated perfectly and really looks beautiful. My hip is functioning quite nicely and the pain I had in the joint was gone when I woke from surgery. I had the expected post op pain but that was relatively short lived and I was able to stop the pain meds very quickly. Advice I wish I'd had...don't wait if you need this procedure. Likely the reason for some of my complications has to with my delays and the resultant weakened muscles in my core, back and legs. The surgery and recovery time weakens you even more. Do all you can before and after to get strong. You will need those muscles! Then, pick the best surgeon you can. For me, he was it. And he operates out of Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington. I've been there now for two surgeries and can honestly rate them as one of the best hospitals I've ever been to!

I first went to see Dr. Guidi in 2009 for shoulder pain, I knew I did something bad to my shoulder…read more After almost 20 years of rock climbing, including going to the climbing gym multiple times a week, I completely tore my rotator cuff and separated my labrum in my shoulder. Dr. Guidi accurately diagnosed the problem on my first visit. He sent me to get an MRI with contrast to help determine the extent of the damage. From injury to first visit to MRI to surgery was maybe a month, and much of that was my being in denial and my busy work schedule. Dr. Guidi repaired both injuries in one long surgery. He recommended an aggressive physical therapy regime, which I appreciated. All of my office visits were highly professional and informative. Most of all, I appreciated that Dr. Guidi was working with me to get me back to triathlons and climbing. I did a triathlon 14 week post-surgery (that was not doctor approved) but I did it. At 4 months out, I started climbing again. At 9 months out, I was back to my full climbing strength. In 2012, I was a repeat customer for Dr. Guidi. This time for an elbow injury, also climbing induced. Dr. Guidi accurately diagnosed that I had a partially torn tendon in my elbow. I had the choice of months of rest followed by physical therapy or surgery to repair the elbow. Given that the pain was really bad, I opted for surgery. This was a quick surgery, not too much damage but enough to require surgery. Two days after surgery, my elbow felt much better than prior to surgery. One month of physical therapy and I was back to climbing again. Once again, I got back to full strength. I trust Dr. Guidi's judgment and appreciate his willingness to get you back to the sports that you love. I highly recommend him if you have a sports injury. I just recently did exactly that for a friend who moved here from Atlanta. My friend took a bad fall playing basketball - I'm told there were loud popping sounds in his ankle. After the ankle didn't heal, I recommended my friend visit Dr. Guidi. MRI showed two torn ligaments. I took my buddy in for surgery and got to see Dr. Guidi. That man works hard on surgery days. He did a great job fixing my buddy's ligaments. My buddy is not 100% yet but it's less than 8 weeks post-surgery. I trust and highly recommend Dr. Guidi

I was having pain under my knee cap because of this...the meniscus tear was small and not very noticeable to me. Dr. Guidi suggested Hyalgen injections which are natural synovial fluid that provides an increased cushion between the bones and it worked like a charm. The tear got worse so I decided to have arthroscopic surgery. Two and a half months post surgery I am pain free. I cannot say enough about Dr. Guidi and his staff. He has incredible bedside manner and you cannot find a more competent orthopedic surgeon. The group has a rehab facility across the hall from the office and they are great. If you are seeking the comfort of knowing that you are in good hands, I would highly recommend Dr. Guidi as your orthopedic surgeon/sports medicine physician!!

He genuinely cares about what he does, and doesn't chalk it up to just a sprained ankle.
