His imaging diagnosis convinced me of the importance to move forward with hip replacement surgery. Summit Orthopedics works closely with Sibley Hospital so I was able to schedule a Monday morning surgery and overnight stay at the hospital. The Nurse Navigator Supervisor at Sibley provided information on Pre-Op procedures and an appointment with Sarah, Summit's Nurse Practitioner, involved a review of the surgical procedures and the list of medications with a review of frequency. Dr. Siram brought together a great surgical team comprised of the Sibley Hospital Orthopedic doctors and nursing staff and an anaesthesiologist. The first nurse assigned to my post-Op care placed top priority on Pain Control and coordinated a meeting with In-House PT/OT Team to review and practice the Post-Operative exercises. I completed 2 weeks of In-Home physical therapy with Potomac Home Health Care, affiliated with Johns Hopkins and Sibley. The PT specialist was exceptional: checked vitals; reviewed my medications; provided a home exercise plan that helped me to begin walking with and without a cane, before starting In Office Post-Op PT. I would strongly recommend the Dr. Siram | Sibley Orthopedic Team.

He treated my 12 year old son from diagnosis to operation to post-op with a lot of respect and care. In my experience, the combination of a very competent doctor with being finely atuned to the human aspect of things is a rare thing to find. My son is the kind of person that needs to know what is happening every step of the way, and Dr Fitzgibbons not only welcomed his questions (even in after hours), but also gave praise for his curiosity. Also, the post-op included a lot of difficulty handling pain, finding the right perscription, and getting it filled through insurance... And he was very solicitous and available to help with that very circuitous process too!

Dr. Bobrow was the fourth "top" DC total-knee-replacement surgeons I interviewed in January of this…read moreyear. He was the only of the four that took seriously my fears based on my significant pre-existent condition (beside my deeply arthritic right knee: significant atrophy of all my right leg muscles stemming complications from the removal from the back of my right thigh of a 10 pound, benign tumor when I was 13. Only Dr. Bobrow of the four candidate surgeons had me disrobe to my briefs, and actually examined my entire right leg, including touching it (!). He then told me in detail how my TKR would be somewhat more complicated than usual, and ordered a few tests (e.g., leg/blood circulation) to ensure that my leg was "up to" the surgery. Dr. Bobrow and his excellent team did a great job. My real work began the day after surgery, when the meds wore off, and I was immediately thrust into intense (and initially (three weeks) quite painful) PT, conducted by the experts at ED&A Therapy, located conveniently next door to Dr. B' offices at Summit Orthopedics. By week 4, I was walking without assistance -- but the real benefit was that I awoke each morning to the repeated good news of there being absolutely no pain in my right knee. I'm now 3 months plus, I am walking strong and even, and my atrophied right leg muscles have returned, though I still have a long ways to go! I feel every day something I haven't felt in many years: strong and completely symmetrical. I won't dwell on the pain, frustrations, and hard emotions I experienced in the early weeks -- for a surgery as serious as this, these really have to be expected. The team ensures you have access throughout your recovery to the medication needed to manage your physical pain. Dr. B's office staff is competent, cordial and helpful -- but one must expect that he/she will experience some hiccups with processing and paperwork, and some extended waiting periods beyond the promised appointment time. But this is truly minor stuff. Though he has been doing TKRs and other procedures for some time, Dr. Bobrow comes across as excited with and enthused about his work. Being able to vanquish the constant, often searing pain that comes with an arthritic knee -- now, that's a great talent! I give Dr. Bobrow and his team my highest recommendation for TKR.

It seems that Dr. B feels his job is done when the incision is stitched. He departed on vacation shortly after performing the operation and never reached out to determine how my mom was doing (not terribly well). I would urge anyone researching surgeons to look closely at the follow-up regimen, a vital but often inferior piece of American medicine.

As Michael's wife, I have watched him deal with this hip pain for most of our 33 years of marriage…read more I've seen how much it affected the way he walked, what he could do, and just his everyday life. More than anything, I wanted him to finally have a real chance to get out of pain. Traveling from California to Maryland for surgery was a big decision. Michael has been an attorney in San Diego for decades and knows many of the top surgeons here, so going across the country was not something we took lightly. The doctors we saw here were talking about a much bigger open surgery. My husband, being my husband, had an enormous list of questions. A lot of the answers were already available in the information Dr. Christoforetti had put together, and his physician's assistant, Brian, answered many of the others. When we met with Dr. Christoforetti, he carefully went through everything with us and never made us feel rushed, even with Michael's never-ending list. One of the things that made me feel much better was understanding that doing the surgery through small openings did not mean he could see less. With the camera, he could actually get a very detailed view of what was going on and repair what he found without putting Michael through the much larger open surgery that had been discussed. Over the years, Michael tried just about every type of treatment available -- injections, physical therapy, and other non-surgical treatments -- without lasting relief. It meant so much to me that Dr. Christoforetti was finally trying to fix the actual problem instead of just treating the pain again. As a wife, there is a different kind of trust involved. Michael had to trust the surgeon operating on him. I had to trust the person I was handing my husband over to. Dr. Christoforetti made that easy. I felt that he truly cared about Michael and treated him the way you would want someone to treat a member of your own family. His whole team was wonderful to us. Being so far from home made both of us nervous, and having a direct number to Brian, his physician's assistant, gave us a lot of comfort. Dr. Christoforetti, if you ever make it to California, there will always be a place for you at our table. You took such wonderful care of my husband, and I would love the chance to return the kindness by making you the best home-cooked Persian meal of your life.

For the past two visits, both appointments have been nearly all on-time, which I appreciate. The facility also has an in-house X-ray technician and machine, which cuts down on time. I can't emphasize on how much I really appreciate the aspect of how efficient the entire team there works. As strange as it may sound, I couldn't help but to feel like I am guilty of wasting everyone's time there, and I felt rushed and flushed out of there quickly. Yes, I love physicians who are on time and the office so efficient that I waltz out of there happy and ready to get on with the rest of my day. Maybe it's just me who felt bad about the reasons and cause of issues I have presented and I felt like there's really nothing anyone can do about it. Maybe I should just call it disappointment. I'm not sure. Whatever the case is, I will just go back to my regular orthopedic office I've come accustomed to.

From the very first consultation to the final follow-up, Dr. Cannova demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, compassion, and surgical expertise. What stands out most is his ability to make patients feel completely confident and at ease. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all our questions with patience, and genuinely cared about my husband's recovery and quality of life. His precision and attention to detail in the operating room are unmatched and the results speak for themselves. My husband's recovery was so smooth and remarkable that family and friends could hardly believe he had just undergone a hip replacement! Within a short time, he was walking pain-free and regaining his strength faster than we ever imagined possible. The entire surgical and post-op team under Dr. Cannova's leadership is equally impressive organized, responsive, and kind. They made the entire experience seamless and stress-free for both patient and family. Dr. Cannova isn't just an outstanding orthopedic surgeon; he's a life-changer. We are forever grateful for his skill, compassion, and dedication to his patients.
