Physician-Driven Care—Every Step of the Way

At District Ortho, your care is always led by a board-certified orthopedic surgeon. Unlike many practices, we do not utilize physician assistants or nurse practitioners for office visits—our patients are seen directly by experienced doctors at every appointment. This commitment to physician-driven care ensures the highest level of expertise, consistency, and trust.

Sports Medicine & Shoulder

Drs. John Klimkiewicz and J.R. Rudzki have a combined 45 years of experience treating elite and professional athletes with minimally invasive and arthroscopic techniques to restore joint function and optimize recovery.

Hand, Wrist & Elbow

From fractures to tendon repairs, Dr. David Moss provides world-class care with a tailored approach for each patient to restore strength, function, and dexterity to the elbow, wrist, and hand.

Hip & Knee Reconstruction

Dr. J. Stuart Melvin specializes in complex hip and knee replacement surgeries using the latest technologies to achieve the best possible outcomes. Each patient receives a care plan to optimize non-operative management and a tailored surgical plan when reconstructive surgery is necessary.

Foot & Ankle

Dr. Edward Magur has over 20 years of experience treating the Washington Ballet and professional athletes across major DC sports teams. He delivers compassionate, expert care for conditions ranging from complex fractures to degenerative injuries.

Cervical, Thoracic, & Lumbar Spine

Dr. Tushar Patel is a nationally recognized expert in the treatment of complex spinal disease and deformity. He prioritizes conservative care and performs a range of procedures, from outpatient cervical fusion to complex multilevel revision surgery.
