I've been dealing with hip issues for almost a year, and I'm looking for a good orthopedic specialist in the Washington, D.C. area. Preferably someone who is a runner (or who treats competitive runners) who isn't simply going to tell me that I need to "run less."
I live in Maryland, but I have no problem traveling to the district or Virginia.
Thanks for your help.
Nirschl Orthopaedic Center in Arlington.
Head and shoulders above anywhere else for runners. There are lots of good orthos in the area, but these guys are much more tuned into running than most. I've had nothing but good results for runners I've sent there.

I've emailed several running friends in the area today, and two names have come up repeatedly:
- Dr. Andrew Wolf in Arlington (at Nirschl as you suggested)
- Dr. Andrew Parker in Reston.
Does anyone else have experience with either/both of these doctors?
