I sought them out because I needed a medical practice that would accept priority partners as well. I found them on the internet said I would give them a try. I was impressed with Dr. James Gardiner. He took one a look at my xrays and told the truth. I had gone years of pain in knees and he stated we can do nothing but either pain shots of surgery however the surgery is up to you. I told him I was tired and wanted surgery tomorrow.(lol) He stated oh no we cant perform that fast theirs alot of issues to consider. Dr. Gardiner stated everything I had to get done and informed me of the procedures that would take place. I was nervous I followed protocol. Dr. Gardiner explained everything. that I would experience. He left nothing out. The staff is professional cuteous, and friendly. The hospital was also professional and caring. I give this Dr. James Gardiner and this group all the stars they deserve. As they say you're in good hands with Dr. Gardiner of MD Orthopedic Advanced Medical Center. Please keep up the great work both place Germantown and Bethesda. Dr. Gardiner and the staff are extremely good. to infinity and beyond. the Physical Therapy center is extremely good as well. Thank you and I highly recommend them.

I just had my first Telemed visit with Dr. Gardiner and it was great! The office staff contacted me and sent the link and I emailed a photo of my ID and Medicare/insurance cards. The face to face checkup meeting was clear with a minimum of tech/audio/video problems. It was very easy to do all from the comfort of my living room sofa. If needed I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thanks to Dr. Gardiner and his staff for making this an easy and effective service.

Moving to a new state is always challenging especially establishing new doctors. Needing an Orthopedic doctor to treat my aging knees, I searched on-line and found Maryland Orthopedic Specialists. They had several locations, top rated Doctors and highly regarded staff. On-line ratings can be blown out of proportion, but not in this case. MOS has earned excellent ratings because they are committed to exceptional patient care; they walk the talk. I was treated by Dr. Raffo. His easy-going but professional manner put me at ease as he patiently listened to my questions and concerns. After a quick treatment, I left without the pain and discomfort I was experiencing prior to my visit. If you’re looking for an orthopedic clinic that truly cares for their patients, this is the place your want to go.

The entire team is excellent! Dr. Raffo performed successful surgery (highly praised and well regarded from other specialists with knowledge of the procedure). Drs. Fitzgibbons and Gwinn also proved to be great, helpful individuals, much like Jessica O'Keefe who is absolutely top-notch! These fantastic individuals are complemented only by the most impressive physical therapy team in the area. As my main contact, Dr. Allison Stone was amazing - she's tough while caring, encouraging while supportive, direct and honest while being knowledgeable and understanding - lucky to work with her! The whole team is exceptional. Emily Tinnin is an awesome expert; she makes the team and everyone around her better; she's a total savior. Easton Germain also deserves highest praise and adulation for his expertise. Will, Colleen, and Gabby (sp) are critically important to the successful team too. Thoroughly impressed and appreciative of all!

All the staff was very friendly, the doctor was really soft and nice with my son he is 12 so he was a little scared, but the doctor treat him so nice that he forgot about he was scared, we don't have insurance so we had to pay from our pocket and the price was reasonable for an awesome attention

I had a little bit of difficulty getting some of my questions answered at first, but Dr. Gwinn called me and was able to answer all my questions. The surgery went smoothly and I was taken care of completely at Holy Cross Germantown. It has been three weeks since surgery and I am walking without a cane or walker with only a slight limp (due to the soreness of the incision site). Pain from before the surgery is gone (in both the groin and my knee).

I was so pleased that I was squeezed in for an appointment with Dr. Gardiner for evaluation of a sudden onset of ankle pain. Ever since he reduced three fractures in my leg and ankle in a matter of minutes , bing bang boom done, I knew he would be my go to Doc for any orthopedic issues. That was twenty years ago, and I have had to see him from time to time and never had anything but excellent care. I have referred people to him, including my mother, she lived in Alexandria and was unhappy with the orthopedic doctor she had seen. She also found Dr Gardiner’s knowledge and manner excellent, in he did a total knee replacement , her recovery was excellent.

Huge fan of this practice. Usually see Dr. Gardiner but he was booked up when we tried to get in at the last minute for my son's broken finger. Dr. Fitzgibbons is just as good. Explained everything thoroughly, spoke directly to my teen, and answered all of our questions. Wouldn't go anywhere else for a bone issue.

Dr. Gardiner is what every M.D. should be: a great listener and a superb practitioner. Over the last several years, I've had tremendous knee pain and, more recently, tremendous hip pain, and each time I've come to see him and gotten a cortisone shot in the affected area, the pain vanishes. I think he and his team are simply incredible, and I am deeply grateful.
