Do it once. Do it right. Be done with it.

Most people with a hip problem should need one operation. My practice is built around making yours the one that works — including for patients whose first scope didn’t.

I’m Andrew B. Wolff, MD. I specialize in hip arthroscopy: labral repair and reconstruction, and correction of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Patients travel from around the world for it.

I started having pain and loss of range of motion in my left hip. Dr. Wolff was great, he listened to what I had to say and asked me a lot of questions about how I felt. He immediately made me feel more like a friend than a patient. He didn’t just race to the operating table; we tried conservative therapy and injections. Ultimately I did need a surgical repair. Now I’m back to my normal activities and pain-free.

Dr. Wolff saved my life. I tore the hip labrum in both of my hips, as well as the ligament teres that connects the femur to the hip socket. At my lowest, I was afraid I would live the rest of my life in excruciating pain. I could no longer walk without help. Dr. Wolff performed two surgeries. The relief was INSTANTANEOUS. Truly unbelievable.
Diane Seltzer Torre
I had left hip arthroscopy done by Dr. Wolff 2 weeks ago to repair a labral tear. Aside from being a great surgeon he took time to answer all my questions and concerns, and he was very open and honest about what the surgery could do. His assistant Alex was a great help in setting everything up prior to my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Wolff for this or any other procedure.
Mark Fair
As a professional boxer, I know that the smallest injury can mean the difference between winning and losing. Dr. Wolff has been a major factor in keeping me healthy in my march toward a world title.
Jimmy Lange
As a lifelong athlete I have been hard on my body. After learning in 2011 I had a right labral tear in my hip, I met with several doctors. Finally I found the doctor who had the expertise to help me. I immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Wolff as he has a wonderful mannerism. Words cannot express my gratitude to him for getting me back in the game!
Ted Turnbaugh
While playing ice hockey for the University of Maryland, I suffered a hip check to my left hip. Over the next 10 months I saw multiple doctors who misdiagnosed my injury 3 times. Dr. Wolff was able to immediately tell me that I tore at least 3 cm of the labrum in my left hip. Dr. Wolff performed surgery. Although I missed the entire 2013-2014 season, I have started every game in 2014-2015 and have no pain whatsoever.
Michael McGovern
Dr. Wolff understood how important being able to squat, run, and Olympic lift was to me as a crossfit coach. It is now six months after my surgery and I am back at the gym totally pain-free. If you are having hip problems and live in the DC area, there is no one better than Dr. Wolff!
Alissa Gordon
Today I hiked 16 miles on the Appalachian trail, not bad for a 55-year-old, but even more remarkable given I was experiencing agonizing pain in my left hip 7 months earlier. I had a torn labrum and was prescribed PT. My PT had just been to a lecture given by Dr Wolff and thought that I may be a candidate for arthroscopic hip surgery. I had the surgery a month or so later. In 7 months I was back to doing everything I wanted to.
Sarah Putman
Dr. Wolff diagnosed a hip labral tear with cam impingement. I decided to go ahead with the surgery. Eight months later I climbed Mt. Aconcagua (23,000 ft.)! I am ready now to start training for a marathon. Dr. Wolff has been superb. He has great attention to detail, listened to my every need and answered every question during our visits. His staff has been outstanding. I would highly recommend him.
