Arthritis & Sports | Orthopaedics, Physical Therapy & Wellness: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Dr. Matthew Griffith performed a total shoulder replacement for me two weeks ago, following about 3 years of cortisone shots. I think he is amazing because he is not only an expert at what he does, but he is kind, thoughtful, and listens and converses respectfully! I am 81 and healing well.
Betty, thank you for your five-star review. Dr. Griffith and your team here at Arthritis & Sports are proud you chose us for your care! We hope you recover quickly and get back to living life to the fullest.
Fantastic experience: Howie was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to provide me with exercises and items that will help maintain my mobility. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review, Kristin. We are glad you were able to get the care you deserve!
Negative experience: A couple years ago I had right knee replacement and lately it’s been hurting badly. I just called to make an appointment for a follow up and the receptionist refused to schedule me an appointment because I had a balance owed! Wow!!! Talk about a money driven establishment. Don’t go here if you are struggling financially! They won’t help you and they’ll obviously leave you in pain!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Craig. This practice reserves the right to discontinue providing care to patients with outstanding balances that remain unpaid after repeated attempts to collect payment, including reminder notices and contact attempts. Patients with significant overdue balances may be required to settle their account before scheduling future appointments. Please contact our Patient Care Team ([email protected]) at your convenience to discuss this further.
Fantastic experience: Edwin and all of the staff are so wonderful. I just retired as a medical office manager, and it’s nice to Experience wonderful customer service and caring staff as a patient.
Cindy, we are flattered by your kind feedback! We are pleased you had such an amazing experience with Edwin and the rest of our team.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Arthritis & Sports Physical Therapy is knowledgeable, helpful, & kind. They make sure you understand your exercises, in person and at home; and that all your questions are answered. I cannot recommend them enough!
Thank you for your positive feedback, Kathleen! Our team is proud you chose us for your care. Please keep us updated!
Fantastic experience: I have had two physical therapists and they are the best physical therapists in all my years of having to have help. I have had many issues requiring physical therapy, and I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Donna, we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Dr Griffith did a great job on my husbands shoulder so when I needed surgery I came to him. I’m only 1 week out from surgery but doing great. I would highly recommend him to anyone
Our team loves when we can help our patients return to a pain-free lifestyle. Please keep us updated on your journey!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of Arthritis and Sports for a number of years for numerous occasions. Unfortunately that means a painful injury for each occasion. A& S can treat a broad range of issues and as a 1 stop provider. The doctors, surgeons , medical and PT staff are all in one location and well known and reliable . I highly recommend A&S for all orthopedic needs.
Hi George, thank you so much for your positive comments about Arthritis & Sports! We are glad you continue to receive the care you deserve. Hopefully it will be some time before we have to see you again, but you know you can count on us to get you better!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for years. Dr Peyton is wonderful and so are ALL of the PA’s. I can’t say enough about the front desk staff! It’s never a problem to get an appointment most of the time it’s the next day. The front desk workers are efficient and always very helpful. Great all the way around!!
Sherry, thank you so much for your wonderful five-star review. Dr. Peyton and the rest of our team here at Arthritis & Sports are proud you continue to choose us for your care! From our docs to our PAs and our front desk team, we appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback.
Fantastic experience: I called for an appointment, saw the PA less than an hour later. She confirmed the urgent diagnosis, and set up a treatment schedule. So fast, so efficient! They are available when you need them. Thank you, Arthritis & Sports Orthopedics!
Thank you for entrusting us with your care, Pam! We are happy to provide you with your urgent care, and hope everything works out for you.
Fantastic experience: Arthritis and Sports has been helpful to all my needs. I see a few Doctors and have been satisfied with way all. Easy scheduling and for a busy waiting room it’s always clean.
Joan, we are flattered by your kind feedback! We are pleased you had such an amazing experience with our team!
Fantastic experience: I love Arthritis & Sports Physical Therapy! I have been seeing Sarah for 2 months and she is amazing. She has helped me get my shoulder stronger before my total shoulder replacement and it has definitely made a difference. Everyone there is so nice and caring . Thank you all!
Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review, Victoria! Sarah and the rest of our PT team are proud you entrusted us with your care.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Griffith has been absolutely amazing. After 3 dr’s misdiagnosed our son, Dr. Griffith listened to our concerns. Ordered the appropriate tests and figured out what was going on. One month later my son is on the road to recovery and it’s all because of Dr. Griffith!
Hi Gina, thank you so much for sharing your story about Dr. Griffith and Arthritis & Sports! We are so glad your son was finally able to receive the care he deserves. Thank you for entrusting us with his care.
Fantastic experience: The physical therapy I am receiving from Meghan has helped me accelerate the recovery time, and I am much more mobile than I thought I would be at this point. I go to PT three times a week, and she and the therapy staff at Arthritis and Sports work as a team to help me complete the various exercises and therapy required after my total knee replacement. I am thankful to have them involved with my recovery.
Thank you for your positive feedback based on your experience at Arthritis & Sports, John! Meghan and the rest of our team are proud you chose us for your care. Please keep us updated!
Fantastic experience: Just completed 6 weeks of physical therapy at Arthritis and Sports and it was a great experience. My therapist, Eleni Russow, did an excellent job of evaluating my knee progress and prescribing exercises to strengthen my new knee, improve balance and flexibility. Will have my other knee replaced next year and will rely on Eleni to help me once again with my therapy.
Beth, thank you for your five-star review. Eleni and the rest of our PT team here at Arthritis & Sports are proud you chose us for your care! We appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback, and look forward to helping you with your other knee!
Fantastic experience: I was really pleased with the physical therapy treatments I received at Arthritis & Sports for my 2nd knee replacement. Although it was a 3 times farther drive from my home than my last PT provider it was substantially better and well worth the extra drive. It was a very professional staff.
Mike, thank you for your positive feedback based on your experience with our PT team here at Arthritis & Sports! Our whole team is proud of your journey to return to a pain-free lifestyle! Please keep us updated.
Fantastic experience: Got my third of three injections in my knees. No more pain! I always feel welcome when I walk in the door for my appointments. I am always comfortable and relaxed for the injections and there is no pain. The injections help but always best after the third consecutive weekly injection. I don't feel pain for six months before it is time to begin again.
Thank you for your five-star review, Gary! Our team loves it when we can help our patients avoid surgery and still return to a pain-free lifestyle. We are glad to hear the injections are working. Please keep us updated on your journey!
Fantastic experience: Have mainly worked with PA's and Technicians and they are very good. Easy to understand and their explanations provide great feedback as a path for recovery unfolds. I'll continue going to A&S.
Rick, thank you for entrusting us with your care! We hope everything works out for you.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Arthritis & Sports for a number of years and they always take good care of what ever issue I come for. Everyone is so friendly, efficient and professional which makes the visit pleasant no matter how much pain you’re in. I have recommended them to my friends too!
Betty, we are flattered by your kind feedback! Our medical team pride themselves on the relationships they build with their patients. We are pleased you continue to have such an amazing experience with our team!
Fantastic experience: Excellent care by Lisa and the entire staff! The receptionist called to tell me the prescription was sent to the pharmacy. Great customer service!
Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review! Lisa and the rest of our team are proud you entrusted us with your care.
Negative experience: I want to start by stating I am a black male, retired military and i have Medicare and Tri Care as my primary payment methods. I had an appointment 10/21/2024 and I arrived 20 minutes early. There were 15 to 20 people in the waiting room, all the patients were called and I was the only person remaining, ten more people arrived and five were seen before I asked if I had been missed and my records were still hanging on the reception wall. After an hour I left as I don’t want to have a doctor perform surgery on me if they don’t want to see you as a patient or human being. Be careful about selecting this hospital and this doctor.
We are sorry that your experience with us didn’t match your expectations. Our practice has a shared waiting room for several medical providers, who see patients in the order of their scheduled appointments. While we try to accommodate patients that arrive early, we cannot always do so as our goal is to spend as much time as necessary with each patient to review all of their concerns and questions. We understand your frustration and would like to help resolve this situation if we can. Please contact our Patient Care Team ([email protected]) at your convenience to discuss this further.
Fantastic experience: Eleni is thorough, empathetic and all round lovely person. She is concerned about your pain and very conscientious. Highly recommended Arthritis and Sports. The facilities are excellent
Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review about your physical therapy visits with Eleni! We are glad you are getting the care you deserve.
Fantastic experience: After feeling my activities slowly slipping away due to hip and knee arthritis, I feel like a new person after having gotten knee and hip replacement by DrPeyton over the last two years. The physician assistants have always been helpful, and answered my questions clearly. And the office staff are always helpful in person or on phone, and I’ve rarely had to wait more than 5 minutes or so for my appointment.
Linda, thank you for your positive feedback based on your experience at Arthritis & Sports! Dr. Peyton and his team are so proud of your journey, and absolutely thrilled to hear of your return to a pain-free lifestyle!
Fantastic experience: I just had my 10 year hip replacement check up! All is good! Cory, who I see, is so personable and efficient and a pleasure to work with. Dr. Peyton is the best!

Jay, thank you for your five-star review. Susmita and your team here at Arthritis & Sports are proud you chose us for your care! We appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback.
Negative experience: Dr Griffith, a great doctor. Listens to understand and makes you feel comfortable during the visit so I said goodbye to this facility...Nope not because of him he is great and probably thinking I will be back for the treatment he recommended but because of the supervisor lady at the front desk...yeah the one on the phone in the corner. She straight up refused to run my insurance for PRP treatment. I told her that I had spoken to my insurance and they said they will cover it but she said nope its our policy that we want money out of pocket and we wont even try to contact your insurance for pre authorization or anything. I told her that Dr Griffith wants you to run and schedule me and she said the doctors dont know. I just shook my head thinking that these doctors are paying for you to run the insurance so that they can get paid but here you are refusing to do just that and telling me that doctors dont know. I canceled everything and filled out a form to obtain my records to go elsewhere. Now its not her loss because she is still getting paid...my question is What for?
Thank you for your insightful feedback, Zaheer. We are pleased to hear your experience with Dr. Griffith was positive. We are continuously improving the level of service we provide to our patients and would like the opportunity to investigate your feedback further. Please reach out to our Senior Operations Manager, Leigh Craig, at 703-444-5000 to discuss this further.
Fantastic experience: Very quick decisions. Incredible staff. Location, parking, no wait times! I really can’t say enough.
Anthony, we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed it. We look forward to seeing you again soon (but not too soon)!
Positive experience: Went there to have shoulder surgery and carpel tunnel surgery on right hand and shoulder. I weight 120 pounds and before my surgery they fitted me with a sling that I paid 90 bucks for. The 9 days after surgery I was in pain and could not get comfortable no matter how much I adjust my sling. When I went for my follow up apt I saw A PA who I never meet before who really couldn’t tell me anything other than they repaired what was torn. I ask how my hand was and the reply was it’s been fixed. When I ask how bad it was she couldn’t tell me because it was not in the notes. When we talked about how bad my sling was bothering me and that my arm hurt she said a tech would take a look. Come to find out they put me in a med sling but then told me that they could fit me for a small but would have to charge me for another sling.the one thing that they could tell me for sure was that I had a balance of 96 bucks that needed to be paid .
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Carol. While our team typically does a great job, it seems like we dropped the ball on this one. We understand your frustration and would like to help resolve this situation if we can. Please reach out to our Senior Operations Manager, Leigh Craig, at 703-444-5000 at your earliest convenience.
Fantastic experience: The staff and the doctors are very competent knowledgeable and friendly ,and i would recommend people who need help.

Fantastic experience: Had a great PT appointment today with Roshan. He is very knowledgeable and asked alot of questions before going hands on. Another appointment scheduled for Wednesday.
Thank you for your five-star review, Mike! We hope to have you back to 100% soon!
Negative experience: This a 00, not even for an appointment. I just talked to lady name Chris on the phone to ask specifically what insurance they take, and if they take Medicaid she said NO WE DONT TAKE THAT (like she was a RICH PERSON & I was a POOR PERSON asking HER for a DOLLAR) her tone was like how dare you ask me that question. I asked if they take Medicare and she said we don't take anything like that. Her whole tone attitude was so disrespectful.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. Based on your statements, we believe this encounter may have happened with a different practice. We would like the opportunity to investigate your feedback further. Please reach out to our Senior Operations Manager, Leigh Craig, at 703-444-5000 to discuss this further.
Fantastic experience: They are awesome! I Saw Dr. Payton for knee pain and did several weeks of PT. The pain improved b/c they pinpointed the weaknesses in the muscles that were the culprits. Thank you Diane and Caroline!! Now that I know where to tweak my exercise routine, I can continue to improve. I have to add that I’d visited a different orthopedic group and their PT center about 2 years ago and they basically wrote me off and said it was arthritis and should get cortisone shots. No thanks. But a BIG thank you to Arthritis & Sports Center. I highly recommend this practice.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Abbie. Our team loves when we can help our patients avoid surgery and still return to a pain-free lifestyle. Please keep us updated on your journey!
Fantastic experience: Dr Griffith really listen to my concern after being referred to him by my spine dr. After conservative treatment which did not help, we went the surgical route and what a difference it has made.
Hed, thank you for your positive feedback based on your experience at Arthritis & Sports! Dr. Griffith and his team are proud of your journey to return to a pain-free lifestyle! Please keep us updated.
Fantastic experience: The PT staff is attentive, knowledgeable and caring. I had Caroline today; she always listens carefully to what I am saying and is skilled in working on my body to correct issues as they occur. My recovery from a total knee replacement is on a fast track because of the care received by Caroline, Devon and the techs.
Thank you for your five-star review, Jocelyn! We hope your back to 100% soon!
Fantastic experience: I always try to be respectful of my healthcare provider's time, and would rather be early than late. I "get" that sometimes a patient before me may take longer than anticipated - but Arthritis & Sports is SPOT ON with getting me in and out in a timely manner. I feel valued, and am asked if I have any questions - which are respectfully and completely answered. GREAT care - and while I can't say I'm looking forward to surgery - I'm absolutely sure I'm in the right place and will get every bit of the positive results I'm hoping for! Thank you to tech Ben and PA Edwin - see you soon!
We are flattered by your kind feedback! We are pleased you continue to have such an amazing experience with our team, and hope your upcoming surgery is a huge success!
Fantastic experience: Devon is the best therapists she always listens to my concerns and celebrates my improvements. She challenges me to get better every time.
Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review, Angela! Devon and the rest of our team are proud you entrusted us with your care.
Fantastic experience: Edwin was absolutely amazing. I have seen Edwin on multiple visits and he takes the time to explain everything and is willing to answer any questions! Highly recommend Edwin.
Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review, Mike!
Fantastic experience: Very organized. Appointment started right on time. They were very thorough, took X-rays before seeing the tech. The tech took a careful look at my problem and recommended a course of action. He explained everything and showed me on the X-ray where the problem was. I followed his course of treatment and feel better already
Thank you for your five-star review, Buck! Our team loves when we can help our patients avoid surgery and still return to a pain-free lifestyle. Please keep us updated on your journey!

Fantastic experience: I didn't have to wait long in the reception area till I was called back. Everyone at the front desk was very pleasant.I saw Meghan today. She was very good and knowledgeable. She knew exactly what my in issues were. I really loved working with her.
Katherine, thank you for your positive feedback based on your experience at Arthritis & Sports! Meghan and the rest of our team are proud of your journey to return to a pain-free lifestyle! Please keep us updated.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Arthritis &Sports Orthopedics, Physical Therapy by my primary doctor. I had a total reconstruction using a cadaver. When I met with Dr Matthew G Griffith he reviewed my test results with me. I was extremely upset to learn that the Total Reconstruction surgery I underwent had failed. In addition, if I did not get the Total Shoulder Replacement surgery, I could very well have lost the use of my arm and my hand. I was so relieved to have found Dr Matthew Griffith and he handled my case extremely well given the circumstances I was faced with. I would highly recommend this practice. The entire team worked together to afford me an opportunity for a normal life. Thank you.
Deborah, thank you for your positive feedback based on your experience at Arthritis & Sports! Dr. Griffith and his team are proud of your journey to return to a pain-free lifestyle! Please keep us updated.
Fantastic experience: Always professional and friendly. I go for all types of issues. Never a negative experience. Howie is great. Saw him today.

Fantastic experience: As always, Dr. Peyton and Team are the very best at what they do! They made sure I was taken care of from beginning to end with each and every visit! I made the best choice and decision when I selected Dr. Peyton to do my hip surgery!! Ignatius N. King
Ignatius, thank you for your positive feedback based on your experience at Arthritis & Sports! Dr. Peyton and his team are proud of your journey to return to a pain-free lifestyle! Please keep us updated.
Fantastic experience: I've been to physical therapy before, but it was nothing like this. Susmita was amazing. We covered many things that I was having issues with. I now have answers for things that weren't even touched on at the other places I've gone to. I honestly can't wait to go back next week and see her again. That is the best compliment I could give.
Jessica, we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit with Susmita! We look forward to seeing you again soon and getting you better!
Fantastic experience: Have been going to Arthritis & Sorts for almost 8 years for my knees. Have a full knee replacement in a few days. Dr Griffith and Dr Peyton, along with PA Glaws and the rest of the team are all exceptional. I'm in good hands.
Jacob, we are flattered by your kind feedback! Dr. Griffith, Dr. Peyton, and the rest of our medical team pride themselves on the relationships they build with their patients. We are pleased you continue to have such an amazing experience with us!
Fantastic experience: The Arthritis and Sports/ ORTHOPEDIC, Physical therapy. They took me when no one else could around me. Dr. Griffith had me in surgery a week after he saw me. This group of doctors and nurses and pAs go beyond the call of duty. They are amazing.
Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for your positive comments about Arthritis & Sports! We are glad you continue to receive the care you deserve. Thank you for entrusting us with your care.
Fantastic experience: I consider myself fortunate to be in Dr. Goodwin's care. It looks like the timing was ideal. My other doctor recommended I see him so I could get his medical advice and be assessed in light of my most recent hip MRI. I felt comfortable and confident when he offered me his opinion after our first consultation. My decision to have hip surgery was made without hesitation. Dr. Goodwin outlined his treatment plan and gave me a thorough explanation of what to expect both before and after surgery. He gave me confidence that everything would go well the day of my surgery and till during my recuperation. He would describe to me what to expect from my procedure. In light of the fact that, before to meeting him, I had experienced a great deal of agonizing anguish brought on by extraordinary circumstances. Dr. Goodwin calls to address any medical concerns I may have and reassures me that it is all part of the healing process. I am grateful for all of his efforts in creating a personalized treatment plan. I'm currently in my twelfth week following surgery, and I continue to work with my PT under his direction. I will always be appreciative of your wonderful care, Dr. Goodwin, and I am excited for the next phase of my life. I am grateful that you are a part of my medical journey! To Ms. Peggie and to all the medical team thank you for all your care . It feels like home away from home.❤️
Hi, Jo-Anne, thank you for your five-star review. Dr. Goodwin and your team here at Arthritis & Sports are proud you chose us for your care! We appreciate you taking the time to provide us this feedback.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Arthritis & Sports for almost 30 years and this was another of the many positive experiences I’ve experienced.

Always super knowledgeable, super professional, very helpful, and I love their always efficient process. Highly, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Regina, thank you for your five-star review. Our entire team here at Arthritis & Sports is proud you continue to choose us for your care! We appreciate you taking the time to provide us this feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review, Dana! Dr. Peyton and the rest of our team are proud you entrusted us with your care.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding professional service from the entire staff in the Physical Therapy office.

Fantastic experience: Edwin Encarnacion is an excellent orthopedic practitioner! I have recovered full range of motion in both knees through his expertise. Additionally he was able to direct me toward other physicians in this practice to receive pain relief for herniated discs in my lower back.
Terri, we are flattered by your kind feedback! Edwin and the rest of our medical team pride themselves on the relationships they build with their patients. We are pleased you had such an amazing experience with our team!
Fantastic experience: At Arthritis & Sports, the staff, Doctors and Physician Assistants (PA) all are kind, courteous and professional. I had a total knee replacement done. Dr. Peyton was my surgeon and one of his PAs, Lisa, took such great care of me. They make sure you understand the procedure they are about to perform, and that you're feeling OK at every stage. They take care of everything and ensure you're armed with all the education on your procedure so there are no surprises. I'm ok with only seeing my surgeon at the initial visit and then again just before the surgery. I didn't feel slighted or that I was given any lesser quality service/advice from the PAs. I'd highly recommend these professionals for your Orthopedic and surgery needs!
Stephanie, we are flattered by your kind feedback! We are pleased you had such an amazing experience with Dr. Peyton, Lisa, and the rest of our team.
Fantastic experience: I have the highest praise for Arthritis and Sports Orthopaedics and Therapy--from beginning at the front desk to Dr. Peyton, and throughout physical therapy. Want to especially mention my therapists Diane and Devon who have taught me techniques and exercises to strengthen my body in preparation for surgery. They have been so patient with me while encouraging me. Also want to thank (1) Megan, the technician who is very attentive and helpful and (2) the front desk along with others who make my therapy a success. Again, these folks are very caring, patient, encouraging, and all have a happy attitude and enjoy helping their patients.
Brenda, thank you for your five-star review. Dr. Peyton and your PT team here at Arthritis & Sports are proud you chose us for your care! We appreciate you taking the time to provide us this feedback.
Fantastic experience: Hannah was wonderful! It was my first appt for evaluation post surgery. The almost hour she spent was very comprehensive and she was great about making sure I was clear on home 'work' answering all of my questions. This entire practice has been 5 stars. Dr. Ahillen is amazing too!
Lisa, we are flattered by your kind feedback! We are pleased you had such an amazing experience with Hannah and the rest of our team.

Fantastic experience: I've worked with Susnita at Arthritis and Sports physical therapy the last couple of weeks. She has helped me so much in such a short period of time. I highly recommend her.
Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review, Ellena! Susmita and the rest of our PT team are proud you have entrusted us with your care.
Fantastic experience: Great Rehab experience for total knee replacement. Eleni Russow was exceptional as my therapist and a had a very good understanding of issues that arose as a result of the surgery and was able to address all of my concerns. I would highly recommend her.
Dee, we are flattered by your kind feedback! We are pleased you had such an amazing experience with Eleni and the rest of our PT team.
Positive experience: The PT experience here was great with Hannah (Meg was also awesome). My experience took a hit when I was notified I owed hundreds of dollars. I provided my insurance info day 1 and asked about my expected cost per visit. I paid what I was told each visit before a month later they said I was supposed to be paying more - over 3x more. I appreciate the care I received but seriously? I explained it was somewhat misleading being verbally told and paying the initially discussed amount before being hit with hundreds in bills. Lady at the front desk didn't budge at all despite admitting their mistake. After paying the outstanding amount, I cancelled treatment. Just had to pay a final bill from them which reminded me to write this review edit to respond to the reply: I've sent two emails and have not gotten any response
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Jason. As a courtesy to our patients, we try our best to verify our patient’s insurance benefits prior to their visit. However, it is your insurance company, not our practice, who makes decisions about what will be paid for and what will not. We understand your frustration and would like to help resolve this situation if we can. Please contact our Patient Care Team ([email protected]) at your convenience to discuss this further.
Fantastic experience: Started with a phone call. Got a very friendly, helpful receptionist. Scheduled appointment see Chrissy and she listened, cared and explained my future care. They all as a team take good care of you as the patient.
Thank you for taking the time to share your five-star review, Mary!
Fantastic experience: I can't overstate how grateful I am for the care and attention that my mom received at the Center - particularly from Leigh and Dr. Underwood. Sensing the urgency of my mom's pain, Leigh went above and beyond to help get her into the Center to receive care. She identified and addressed potential administrative/insurance roadblocks upfront and made it possible for my mom to quickly see Dr. Underwood - who was also incredibly professional and understanding. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Center to anyone seeking relief from their arthritic/orthopaedic pain.
Thank you so much for your positive comments about Arthritis & Sports! We are glad your mother was able to receive the care she deserves. Thank you for entrusting us with her care.
Negative experience: ⚠️ BLUF: Patient's medical insurance is charged for a Tier 4 visit (nearly $400) without issuing a single imaging order nor prescription from this practice for a chronically, unhealed foot injury that even a kindergartener with 20/20 vision can diagnose as "inflammation." Dr. Randall Peyton, the practice founder, needs to have a serious "come to Jesus moment" with his lone foot doctor on his team, Dr. Sabina Malhotra. Concurring with previous reviewers, this Millennial physician is a very bright young lady but is arrogant AF with the bedside manners of NFL "star" Aaron Rodgers ⚠️ Being a practitioner working with people patients (dogs and cats paws patients maybe) is clearly not her calling. She has poor active listening skills, talks down to patients, and appears to carry herself inappropriately like a total nerdy Daddy's girl who only wants to get her way or the highway regarding patients having any input in their own health needs, treatment, and care. Friendly reminder ️ it's state medically unethical, if potentially criminally fraudulent, to charge federally guaranteed medical insurance plans (e.g. Medicare) for "meet and greet"-style bait and switch office visits when this is just a "basic" speciality, not a concierge practice.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. While our team typically does a great job, it seems like we dropped the ball on this one. We understand your frustration and would like to help resolve this situation if we can. Please reach out to our Senior Operations Manager, Leigh Craig, at 703-444-5000 at your earliest convenience.
Fantastic experience: My leg muscles serous hurt after the other side total hip surgery, the therapist ms Devon massaged ease my pain and taught me how to exercise. I felt I got improvement next day.

Fantastic experience: Cory Kraftson is a caring doctor with great bedside manner. He is honest and friendly with you about your particular situation medically and how you can best improve your quality of life. I received my second round of cortisone injections and he was so gentle, quick and efficient that I didn’t even move. This concept of treating you as a person and not just another client extends to the front desk staff! They are always welcoming, kind and bubbly! They remember small details like the names of my children and always want to know how I’m recovering from my surgeries. You can truly tell that this practice is sincere in their commitment to you as a unique person. Highly recommended!!!!
Joy, we are once again incredibly flattered by your kind feedback! Cory and the rest of our medical team pride themselves on the relationships they build with their patients. We are pleased you continue to have such an amazing experience with our team!
Fantastic experience: I just had a partial hip replacement, early this morning. This afternoon already feel a stunningly huge difference! I now have two solid, stable legs, not just one-and-a-half! Dr. Peyton is a master of his craft par excellence, a consummate professional. He is friendly and approachable, and he truly cares about his patients. Thank you, fine sir, for quite literally giving me back my life! You have transformed it dramatically!
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Greg. Our team loves when we can help our patients return to a pain-free lifestyle. Please keep us updated on your journey!
Fantastic experience: This has been the best P.T. Experience I’ve ever had. Eleni Rusow is my physical therapist and has encouraged and helped me to regain my knee flexibility and strength. She explains why the exercises help, plus which muscles, nerves, and tendons are affected. This leads to understanding the importance of each exercise. Arthritis and Sports Orthopedics, & P.T. Have worked with my schedule. They are always on time. The PT assistants are friendly, plus knowledgeable in their practices with the patients. I look forward to going each visit and will actually miss these sessions . I’d recommend this facility to everyone who is in need. It’s the best!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this practice and what a great experience we have had with Dr. Peyton for over 10 years! My husband got his first knee replacement back then, then a second one 5 years later on the other knee. Since then , my 84 yr old Mom got hers done, 6 years ago and now I am also getting checked out for my own knee issues. The staff has been consistently extremely efficient, professional and very pleasant. Dr. Peyton is wonderful, kind and a master of his craft and we would not imagine going anywhere else for such major life changing surgery. Thanks to him, the quality of our lives has had immense improvement, we feel very fortunate to have found him and this practice.

Thank you so much for your positive comments about Arthritis & Sports! We are glad you and your little one were able to receive the care they deserve. Thank you for entrusting us with their care.
Fantastic experience: Great place would’ve been a 10 instead of a nine if I wasn’t being told I missed two appointments when I know I didn’t and even the receptionist downstairs agreed that I’m not missing it. I did miss it besides that I hope they straighten that out and besides, that has a great place to go.
Thank you for the five-star review, Chris! We will check with our team on this issue.
Fantastic experience: I love Doctor's relaxed atmosphere and informative descriptions of my medical condition.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Peyton is magical. A month as a new patient in his practice, and already back in the gym and playing tennis like a teenager.

Thank you Doc and all the magical people @ Arthritis and Sports in Sterling, VA.

Fantastic experience: This was my first experience. I visited the Dr for my swollen ankle. The wait time was very minimal. The assistant took care of the X-ray and other formalities. After analysis it turned out to be minor fracture in my ankle. Dr. recommended wearing clinical shoes which helped to expedite recovery. Overall experience has been great and I would highly recommend.
