I messed up my knee while out of town and am looking for a good orthopaedic doctor with whom I can follow-up for an MRI and appropriate treatment(preferably in the Silver Spring, Bethesda, Rockville areas)? I need to find someone willing to work with a cash payment plan -- and have made several unsuccessful calls so far. Hospital x-rays and the report from my emergency room visit five days ago show that there are no broken bones; but I still can't walk or bear any weight on the knee. Most all the doctors want me to come in for a preliminary visit (which I can't seem to get scheduled for another 2 or 3 weeks from now!) before they will refer me for an MRI; and then I have to come back for a follow-up consultation with the doctor before they provide further treatment. Any referrals or advice are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
R.,
I suggest you seek out a chiropractor.

Try Potomac Valley Orthopaedics, their website is www.pvoac.com . They are located in Silver Spring, Olney, Gaithersburg and Columbia. All the Dr's in the practice are very nice and knowledgeable. Their website can give you the phone # of the office you want.
My son goes to Kennedy Krieger Hospital in Baltimore and sees a series of great doctors from John Hopkins (Dr Sponsella) in the clinic. The phone number is ###-###-####. You may want to try some naturapathic approaches -- Acupuncture Dr. Hong Lin ###-###-####, Naturapath Dr Angela Diop ###-###-####, Chiropractor Dr. Phil Romano ###-###-####, Internist Dr. Sarah Vaser 310-468-8999/Dr. Thomas Dooley ###-###-#### Get a second and/or third opinion before any surgery. Hope this helps!
i am not sure if they have an office in maryland. i just recently went to commonwealth orthopedics for knee surgery. i continued with them for physical therapy to increase the range of motion.
Dr. Phillip Bobrow is an excellent orthopedic doctor, not sure if he will work with you or not but it's worth looking into. His office is located in Chevy Chase Md; you may reach him on ###-###-####. Hope this information is helpful.
