Joseph O'Brien, MD

Some of the most respected musculoskeletal surgeons in the country are right here in the Washington metropolitan region. Aligned Orthopedic Partners includes world-class orthopedic surgeons at OrthoBethesda, Washington Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, and Shady Grove Orthopaedics. Using a multidisciplinary approach, our fellowship-trained spine surgeons emphasize conservative treatments, such as spinal rehabilitation and injections, before considering surgery. The compassion of our doctors shows when they focus on what’s best for each patient, listening to their concerns and collaborating with them on a treatment plan. “When recommending surgery to a person, it’s important to consider what you would want if the roles were reversed,” says Dr. O’Brien. Our high frequency of successful outcomes reflects our commitment to delivering individualized treatments that work. Aligned Orthopedic Partners has over 100 providers, including 50 board-certified orthopedic surgeons, eight clinic locations, affiliated surgery centers, physical therapy, and ortho-specific urgent care.
