Why Entrust Your Care to NOC?
Firmly positioned at the forefront of orthopedic care, NOC consistently ranks among the top orthopedic and sports medicine clinics in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area. In 1974, our practice was founded by Robert P. Nirschl, M.D., M.S., an internationally known and respected pioneer in the world of orthopedic surgery. Most notably, Dr. Nirschl is credited with developing the Nirschl surgical procedure for treating elbow tendinosis, which has transformed the treatment of tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. Additionally, Dr. Nirschl’s extensive research of sports medicine techniques has resulted in groundbreaking new treatments for tendon injuries of the elbow, as well as the shoulder and lower extremities.
At NOC, the tradition of quality care and innovation originally instilled by Dr. Nirschl continues to this day. Our experienced team of elbow specialists also includes Derek H. Ochiai, M.D.; Ronald S. Paik, M.D.; Cassie G. Root, M.D.; and Clay Wellborn, M.D.
