Patient Testimonials

I was processed very quickly upon arrival (I had pre-registered before the visit) and waited only 15 minutes.
Dr. Durbhakula is very nice (I had seen him before) and had all the information he needed about my condition. He was quick, to the point, and very efficient. He explained everything very well, looked at the x-rays with me and explained the results and gave me a shot. I was very impressed with the whole process (this is one of the reason I went back to the practice).

I went to Dr. Durbhakula a few years ago for knee pain He came highly recommended to me by a colleague. I was so impressed with the attentiveness and care he gave to me. He knows his craft and my knee was better in no time. So when my husband needed to see an orthopaedist , I knew who to call. I called their office today and they promptly scheduled an appointment for him.

I had a good experience seeing Dr Durbhakula. The staff at the front desk were helpful and friendly, as was the clinical staff. Dr. Durbhakula did a very good job of explaining my problem and treatment options. Overall a very good experience. Would like to see more explanations of lifestyle changes- diet and exercise which could help my problem, an alternative approach, but otherwise very satisfactory.

Dr. Durbhakula performed my two very successful hip replacements (2018/19).I highly recommend him, as a very caring and understanding doctor who listens to his patients. Many people including other doctors have commented that if I had not told them would never know I had the surgery as there are no outward physical signs, i.e. limping, leaning etc.. Also, receive excellent customer service on all my visits sine 2018.

What a breath of fresh air Dr. Durbhakula is. He takes the time to educate you on your condition, using diagnostic data/tools to illustrate his points. He carefully listens to your questions and offers advice that he knows you need to hear. Kudos to what his brand of medicine is all about and the importance he puts on building an effective doctor-patient relationship with your well being in mind.

Dr.Durbhakula is a top notch doctor. It is almost impossible to find an extremely competent doctor, who has a wonderful bedside manner. I always feel fully taken care of. He has never made me feel like any question was not important. Very nice to my husband as well, politely answering all of his questions very respectfully. Since my surgery, I have been following up every three months, making sure that I have been healing the way I should have been. I just graduated today. It marked one year. He gave me his card, telling me to come back in a year, or come back any
time before that if I have a concern. A really good friend of mine referred him to me, and I can't thank her enough! I am a nurse, and I have worked along side many doctors. This man gets an A+ and five stars from me!!

Efficient staff, no long wait, Dr. Durbhakula is extremely knowledgeable. He is very good at explaining my problem and recommends many options before recommending surgery. I respect and agree with his suggestions. He is a very capable surgeon.

Dr. Durbhakula and his entire team are professional and efficient. Everything from the surgery, the post-op care, the rehab exercises lead to a very successful knee replacement experience.

Dr. S Durbhakula is amazing. He is the one that everyone I talk to (nurses, PTs, etc) says "Oh, you got the best". I'm three weeks after a total knee replacement and walking unassisted and driving. He does so many of these, he really has it down!

Dr. D and his colleagues continue to a great job as I recover from the replacement of my right hip joint a few weeks ago. Easy to reach by phone or email. Excellent in office care. My care team at Ortho Bethesda could not be better
