Washington Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine

Washington Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine is fabulous. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rudzki and the staff. I had a very bad injury and full recovery was not expected however today I am almost back to my pre-​injury state. He is so kind, caring, cautious, thorough and a great surgeon. Dr. Rudzki and his staff were so attentive before, during and after the surgery which was very helpful — I emailed by Dr. Rudzi and his assistant with questions or concerns and they were always very responsive.
I went to Holly at SMART Therapy which is owned by WOSM and she was remarkable. She worked with me for over a year and kept me motivated. She is a terrific PT and I highly recommend her also. She works in their K St practice.
Dr. Rudzki specializes in shoulder injuries but I am sure he is astute in many other areas. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Rudzi.

I would highly recommend this practice, especially my doctor. I had an excellent experience with Dr. Richard Barth, who helped me when I injured my arm. He really knows his stuff and his guidance really helped me recover quickly. The support staff at the practice was always courteous and friendly.

DO NOT GO HERE for physical therapy. It is a scam. I train and play tennis on a daily basis, and recently I went to get my wrist checked out by Dr. Moss, who got right down to business and diagnosed me with tendinitis. The doctor part was fine. For physical therapy, however, it was another story. It felt good that they were able to schedule me in on such short notice, however, Madeline was no good. During my thirty minute session, she split time between myself and another patient, and the second time I went back was even worse. Not only were there 3 patients during my time frame, but also Madeline was wrapping the other guys broken finger which dug right into my time. To make it worse, she wrapped it too loose and had to redo it. On top of that, she jabbered on about road closures for about 15 minutes due to heavy rain the night before.

Today I am walking tall and stronger than ever. Two weeks ago I had a bilateral hip replacement surgery using the Anterior procedure at Sibley Memorial Hospital. My surgeon was Dr. Anthony S. Unger, WOSM. I am walking strainght up with no pain, will start driving this week and back to work on Monday.
I am speechless and overwhelmed with joy. The Washington Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine (WOSM) Center and the Sibley Memorial Hospital staff provided exceptionally great service and support to me during this process.
Dr. Unger’s professionalism, bedside manner and expert skills has given me the ability to live a pain free life.
Thank You!

I don’t normally write reviews, but I am so angry that I have to let it be known. I scheduled an appointment with WOSM for last Friday at 10:30 a.m. I called at 10:15 to double check everything was still on (I work right next door). The receptionist told me to come by. After arriving and filling out my paper work, they informed me the doctor was 1 hour behind schedule. I told them I understand that kind of thing happens, but I was frustrated because I called specifically so I wouldn’t have to wait. The receptionist insisted that they just found out about the wait, but in fact at minimum when I called they must have known he was 45 minutes behind schedule. The receptionist refused to apologize. I left, and called them back at 11:30 to let them know I would come by for my 10:30 appointment, to which they again, rudely and unapologetically, informed me that I had missed my appointment and would have to reschedule. Well, I scheduled for Tuesday, and I received a call saying that the doctor would be gone all week. This is my first appointment with them, so I could probably see other doctors at the office, but again the woman calling me did not try to apologize or find another doctor for me to see. Instead she rudely asked if I wanted to see the doctor next week.
Don’t schedule an appointment if you ever actually hope to SEE a doctor.

Dr. Unger is an AMAZING orthopedic! a few years ago i had a serious knee injury that permanently damaged a nerve in my leg and knee, and had been causing me major problems. now, although the damage is permanent and he was unable to correct it with surgery he was the only doctor, out of several that i went to, who was able to properly diagnose my condition, which was a big relief.
i also went to Dr. Unger after injuring my arm, and again he was able to know what was wrong immediately.
aside from Dr. Unger being so knowledgeable, he is extremely sympathetic and caring. as a patient, i ask a lot of questions, and it’s important to have a doctor explain in detail what’s happening and what options there are available to help minimize the pain. I’m happy to say that Dr. Unger is this doctor — he never once made me feel rushed, he always took the time to sit with me and that in itself helped to make me feel a little bit better, because i knew he honestly cared about helping his patients get to their maximum health, no matter what that level is.
so, if you need to see an orthopedic, Dr. Unger is definitely the one to go to.
