Dr. George Kartalian, MD

Dr George is a great choice. Knowledgeable, looks to diagnose the problem correctly and looks at all the conservative options first. Awesome Doc!

Dr. Kartalian has a quiet demeanor, but he is very throughout in his remembering why you have a follow-up. It might mean that he has read my chart before he came inside the room to see me. A lot of other doctors give me the impression they don’t know why you are there. He provided the names of two doctors that are in the area we live in for me to call to see which doctor has the specialty for Post Polio Syndrome. He recommended that I have X-Rays of my toe before he sees me. My toe is healed and he has discharged me. I totally recommend this doctor and I am happy he is part of your team.

Excellent methodological diagnostic approach

This doctor is not qualified. The surgery to fuse my big toe went well. While healing scare tissue got tangled into nerves in my foot. This caused pain burning and tingling in my foot. I went back several times to have him look at toe. Each time he would X-ray my foot and tell me nothing was wrong. I went to another doctor who explained I was suffering from a Nuroma. No X-ray was required. How a doctor with thirty years experience could not diagnose it is sad. Had it been diagnosed early it would’ve prevented a long and painful period. My foot now requires another surgery to clean up the tumor caused by the nuroma. Find another doctor!!

He took the time to explain the multiple issues I am having. He did not rush me at all. He made sure I understood everything (not an easy task). Couldn't have asked for anything more. Wonderful experience.

Really liked the doctor. Very personable and caring. Feel like I’m in good hands!

I now have had surgery performed by Dr. Kartalian and several follow up visits. He is a very good surgeon. My toe was completely shattered. It's a long recovery but and his assistant Tori are amazing, caring and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Kartalian to anyone in my family or my friends. He spends time with you and makes sure you understand what he is telling you. He has the x-rays up and shows you clearly how bad things were and how things are progressing. Great experience. I am still under his care.

I had an emergency and the staff bent over backwards to get me in to see the Dr. He had surgery but came in early to see me before his surgery. My appointment was at 9 AM and he saw me at 9 AM. I didn't have my disc with x-rays and no one gave me a bad time about it. They just accommodated me w/o fuss. Dr. Kartilian was professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. He explained everything to me thoroughly and answered my questions patiently. Surgery is Monday. Feeling confident.

Unprofessional and full of excuses. Everything is a stress fracture. Scoped my knee only to tell me my knee would only last two years and then a month later that I needed a knee replacement now!

I just saw Dr Kartalian for knee pain and surgery and found him to be completely friendly, thoughtful, and professional. He explained my situation thoroughly and patiently answered all my questions. I never felt rushed, nor pressured into any one treatment. Instead, he helped me make the decision that was best for me. The surgery went very well, with no complications at all. Now, a few days after the surgery, I've got zero pain unless I try to do too much and even then it's very slight. I fully expect to be back to hiking and martial arts in a month or two. I also found everyone on the office staff to be friendly and professional. I've already recommended Dr. Kartalian to several of my friends and would definitely seek him out if I had orthopedic problems in the future. I also highly recommend the Reston Surgical Center, where I had the surgery. I feel very lucky to have had such a top-notch surgeon and medical team. Thank you!
