My family of "athletes" have turned to Dr. Desiderata for any number of Orthopaedics issues over the years. He is thoughtful, responsive, timely...and he even takes insurance!

I found Dr. Desiderio is the Best Doctors issue of the Washingtonian - other doctors in the area had selected him as being among the best. And he is! He recently did knee surgery for me. He is caring and spoke with me on the phone a couple of times after my surgery to check up on me. He is to the point and no nonsense.OUTSTANDING!

It was very difficult for me to find a doctor to do my surgery. I had a simple surgery I needed but every doctor I met with wanted to put me to sleep or drug me for the surgery. I felt like this was overkill. I was starting to think that the doctors just wanted more money or that they didn't trust that I wouldn't panic during the surgery. I was recommended Dr. Desiderio by a friend. It was very easy to make an appointment on the day and time I needed, very little wait at the office and he was very easy to talk to and deal with. He does not do small talk and does not have much humor, but he gets right to the point and does a great job. He respected my wishes to not be put to sleep or drugged during the surgery. He made my surgery very simple and very safe. I am so glad I found him! He is a wonderful doctor and I highly recommend him.
