Doctor in D.C./Baltimore area

[filmfan]

Hi,

I'm a new member to the forum. I am looking for a doctor in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore area. Two doctors have already suggested knee replacement surgery. Both have said that I'll know when the time is right. I'm thinking that the time is approaching and want to talk to a doctor specializing in this field. Of course I want to be sure that I've explored every possible approach before surgery.

Does anyone have experience with a doctor in this area? Your suggestions are appreciated.

I had my surgery at the Union Memorial in Baltimore, they are the ortho department that handles the Ravens Football Team. My doc was Henry Boucher.

I researched for two years before setteling on this facility and doctor. My other finalists were:
