Dr. King replaced my right hip. He was totally professional in his surgical skill, straight forward in answering my questions and concerns, and very reassuring in the success of my procedure. I appreciated his no nonsense approach to my surgery.

I had a great experience with Dr. King - had left hip replacement on May 4th, 2021 & now 4 weeks later, I’m walking with some help of a cane. Never had terrible pain & couldn’t believe he gave me his cell phone # in case I had a question after the surgery!

Had a total right hip replacement and Dr King did it using the anterior approach! Very professional and very knowledgeable! In this day and age what doctor gives you their personal cell phone number to call after surgery if you come across any problems!!! Totally unheard of but that's what Dr King does because he cares and I'm so excited that I found him! I would highly recommend him to anybody!

Is rather brutal with knee ops - black and blue and long scars, swollen/traumatized more so than other fresh knee replacements I’ve seen. Does not like to answer questions, hard to get any info from him, Acts like you know nothing. Doesn’t follow up.

Total hip replacement (anterior). Excellent surgeon. I was in the hospital less than 24 hours. Minimal pain throughout the whole process. By Day 14 - no walker, no cane and no pain! I would highy recommend Dr. King. I would also highly recommend the Arlington Orthopedics Group - very efficient!

Dr King performed 2 surgeries on me in 2008 and 2009. He did a partial knee replacement and a shoulder repair. The outcome has been terrific and I would highly recommend this skilled surgeon.
I was also pleased to discover that he has joined the OSS family. His efforts allowed me to continue my career as a technician at Verizon so I could reach my 40 year goal with the company and retire with full benefits.

I had a L Total knee replaced with Dr. King. It's been over a year now and I have not one complaint about the entire process. Dr King is very knowledgeable, thorough & explains everything in a simple manner. He also has a great bedside manner, and is very caring. While I was in surgery waiting he even introduced me to another specialist who he felt I needed. That Dr. Is now my Dr.
