I had the very best follow up visit, very thorough and a positive experience. Dr. Evans and Georgetown University Orthopedics rocks!
Verified patient
Dr. Evans was great once I got to talk to him after more than an hour wait. But it is unfair to criticize him and his office for the long wait time as I suspect that he was doing with other patients before me what he was doing with me - listening to all my questions and giving good explanations. He took the time to do an excellent job, so he is more than worth waiting for.

Dr. Evans is the best there is. I have two friends on whom he has done hip surgeries. One was a repair that was the fault of another surgeon. I will eventually require knee surgery (ies).
I have hip prostheses on both sides, the left hip is 27 years old and the right, eleven years. I have seen Dr. Evans once a year for five years (i.e., since I moved to DC). As usual, he was very straight forward, he was familiar with my history, he assured me that though I have a little trouble sometimes walking without a cane, the hips are stable. He gave me my xrays, and will see me in year. I like that he explains things, answers questions without rusning, and is straignforward and "no nonsense."

I am a RN now retired. Dr. Evans is patient, knowledgable, experienced and knowledgable about my history and presenting issue. His bedside manner is just wonderful.
Verified patient
Dr. Evans was very knowledgeable in his area of expertise regarding my medical issue. He explain what was going on medically and what the steps would be to alleviate the pain and correct the issue. I was very pleased. Even though I have another appt. in September, he assured me he could get me in during August to further evaluate me in person as my pain level is high.
Verified patient
Excellent all around from the office staff, the nurses, x-ray technician, PA and the doctors. Everybody was very helpful and explained everything that is going on and what they can do about it. Highly recommended.
I really appreciate the efficiency of getting my xray right before my appointment. Everyone in the office was very friendly and I spoke with a staff member at every step of the way....checkin, xray, insurance confirmation, doctor's assistant, resident, and then doctor.
Verified patient
Efficient and effective.
Verified patient
I injured my hip joint and was experiencing severe pain getting in and out of a car, bending, and walking up and downstairs. After waiting 3 weeks to get in, I waited over an hour after my appointment time to actually see the doctor. He spent a grand total of about 90 seconds with me! Took a cursory look at my x-ray and gave me a prescription and told me to go see another doctor to get a cortisone shot (which requires another week wait for that appointment). Just doesn't seem like a patient friendly process.
Verified patient
Respectful. Patient. Informative.
I was seeing Dr. Evans for my hip pain. His intern actually spent more time with me than the doctor did. Dr. Evans looked at my xrays and explained what he saw and answered my questions. I appreciated that he didn't see surgery as the only solution. He recommended a different pain reliever that would not cause heartburn and recommended I return in 4-6 months. Typical orthopedic response - you'll know when it's time to operate!
Verified patient
Dr Evans is kind and gentle in his approach. He offers alternatives if he does not feel that the [problem is not in his area.
Verified patient
I have known and been a Patient of this Physician fro 14 years. He is THE man to see with any Knee or Hip problem - and one of the few Physicians who I trust to cut me.
Verified patient
Dr. Evans was welcoming and an excellent listener. The x-rays clearly showed the knees were arthritic and would need attention. Options were discussed. I left his office feeling confident that my decision to put both knees under his care was the correct one. Surgery one both knees at the same time in early January 2017 is in the planning stage
Verified patient
Dr. Evans takes the time to explain the patient's condition and the possible avenues for treating any problems that can be addressed. He is not given to quick cure solutions that involve surgery, when the patient can be encouraged to lose weight, engage in Physical Therapy and otherwise address joint problems. Surgery used only when the doctor deems it necessary. Dr. Evans encourages his patients to ask questions and be fully educated in the care and maintenance of health joints. I refer patients often to his practice.
Verified patient
Had my right hip replaced by Dr. Evans five years ago and it was a breeze! Now having issues with my left hip and knee. There is no other surgeon I would consider going to. Dr. Evans is professional, easy to talk to, a good listener and a great surgeon. I would highly recommend him, his staff and hospital.
Verified patient
Dr. Evans is the quintessential ORS
Dr. Evans is excellent!
Dr. Evan & staff have always provided exemplary care. He ACTUALLY LISTENS to what a patient says - a rarity in ortho surgeons.
