Ratings and Reviews

Dr. Pateder is amazing! Caring, attentive and extremely knowledgeable! I feel completely confident in his abilities to care for me and my spine issues. His comprehensive team is outstanding. They are responsive, caring and supportive. I highly recommend Dr. Pateder and his team!

My initial visit with Dr Pateder went far beyond my expectations. He listened to my history of back pain, really respected the effort I’d put in over the years — I felt heard and seen — and I didn’t feel like I was just being plopped at the start of a static, inflexible “program”. I was very encouraged by Dr Pateder’s no-nonsense approach and look forward to the care I’ll be able to receive in his office.

My husband has had two separate back surgeries ( fusions and 12 years apart) with Dr Pateder. Both were successful. Dr Pateder and his team, in his office and at the hospital, were very professional, answered all our questions, and provided all the after care that was needed.

Dr Pateder was a second opinion for a 3 level ACDF. From the moment he walked in the room, I was comfortable. He spent a good amount of time explaining the damage in my neck and the proposed surgery,. He was reassuring and was open to surgical options. He made me feel as if I could handle such a serious surgery. I scheduled the surgery 3 days after my appointment. I highly recommend Dr Pateder.

Dr. Pateder is an amazing doctor. I’ve had several injections of cortisone. The first two lasted 8 months and I've just had another three injections which were painless. I've got a follow up appointment in November to discuss possible surgery. Dr Pateder explains everything clearly and discusses all your options. He is a wonderful doctor and I highly recommend him.

Dr Pateder is fantastic, honest and very intelligent and professional……

Dr Pateder gave me my life back! I can walk again without pain. No pain anytime! Amazing. ALIF L5 in December 2019. Would highly recommend him.

Office is friend and the doctors are great and very knowledgeable. Thank you Amanda &Dhruv see you next follow up 🙏☺️

Dr Pateder gave me a shot in my back and so far no pain.

Dr.Dhruv Pateder is very knowledgeable & Dr. Pateder is very helpful he explains everything in detail , care about his patients and make them feel comfortable I strongly recommend him.

Dr. Pateder and his Physician Assistant, Amanda and medical device assistant, Matthew are an amazing professional team who work together to ensure the best outcome for their patients! I recently had a cervical fusion and corpectomy and I’m amazed that all the pain and numbness I felt prior to surgery is gone. This seems like a miracle to me! I would recommend Dr. Pateder and his team to anyone in need of neurological surgery. They cover every base to ensure your best outcome.

I have always been treated with care, professionalism, courtesy and respect. I am included in every decision about my health. My health and wellness is their concern.

Great!! He quickly and efficiently found the broken screw in my neck fusion with fast x-ray results.

My eye doctor recommended Dr. Pateder and his office; they are phenomenal. I had a spinal fusion, and during recovery, the entire team was accommodating and responsive. Dr. Pateder is very responsible and cares for his patients. I would strongly recommend him and his office.

Very satisfied with Dr. Pateder and his team The care is outstanding. I recommend anyone who's looking for a spine Dr to give him the opportunity to care for you. His team treat you like family. I had cervical spine Surgery with no issues. He is the best hands down.

I have been a patient of Dr. Dhruv Pateder for several years, and I can confidently say that he is one of the best orthopedic specialists I've encountered. Yesterday, I received a spinal injection from him to address the persistent pain I've been experiencing over the past two weeks. Dr. Pateder thoroughly explained that it would take 24 to 48 hours for the treatment to take full effect, which demonstrates his commitment to setting realistic expectations for his patients. While the pain is still present, I am reassured by the consistent care and professionalism that Dr. Pateder has always provided. His expertise and patient-focused approach make him an outstanding physician, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of orthopedic care.

I have had a cervical fusion and lower back surgery with Dr. Pateder. I’ve had 2 other well known local spinal surgeons previously and Dr. Pateder is the best.

Those with back and leg pain certainly hope that they will never require spinal surgery. If required, however, making the decision to move forward with surgery is one of the most serious decisions you will ever be faced with. When it comes to any surgery of the spine, failure is not an option. In my case, I have a secret weapon. His name is Dr. Dhruv Pateder. His online vitae does not do him justice. You will be hard pressed to find any surgeon as skilled and on the forefront in the practice as he is. In fact, he teaches the leading-edge procedures that he has perfected to other aspiring surgeons. But on a personal level, what I love about Dr. Pateder is his kind and caring demeanor and the confidence that he provided to me as his patient in deciding to move forward with the surgical procedures that I had. If you are ever faced with the decision that I had to make, I can only hope that you have Dr. Pateder on your side. Everyone on Dr. Pateder’s team is nothing short of excellent. Among them is Matt Anderson. Post-surgery, Matt hand-delivered the ActaStim device to my home. Being only 3 weeks out since my surgical procedures were performed, I was naturally apprehensive about using any device on my back. Matt went through all the details pertaining to the purpose of the device and how to effectively use it. As Matt was showing me step-by-step how to use the new device, he had me repeat each step. I appreciated the hands on learning and his patience during this process. Matt was very supportive, thorough and extremely encouraging! At the end of our meeting, he gave me his phone number and asked that I call him with any concerns, questions or if I needed any supplies. Matt said he would be happy to stop by my home with the needed items. He exceeded my expectations and took the sting out of my apprehension. Thank you, Matt!

Great scheduling always timely. Dr. pateder is friendly, attentive and capable

Quite honestly, this was the best experience I have ever had at a medical office. Dr. Pateder performed back surgery on me 11 years ago. I recently had an injury and wanted to see if my back had been affected. I arrived at the appointment time, and was immediately handed a tablet to fill out all paperwork, which took about 2 minutes. I had just finished the paperwork and I was called back to the exam room. The nurse arrived immediately, asked a few questions and sent me to get a couple of x-rays. The X-Ray office was 10 steps from my exam room. The technician took my x-rays immediately and sent me back to the exam room. Within 1 minute, the Physician's Assistant arrived to review the x-rays (which were already in my chart) and let me know she thought my back was fine. She told me that Dr. Pateder would be in - and he was there within a minute. He confirmed my back was fine, told me that my pain was likely arthritis, and said he would provide me with a PT order. He answered all my questions and I didn't feel at all rushed. Once he left, the PT order arrived within a minute. From walking in the door to walking out the door, I was there less than 30 minutes, but feel that I had a very thorough experience. I didn't have to go elsewhere for x-rays and wait for results. This office is completely self-contained. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I told the nurse my dog had pulled me off my feet, which I thought might have affected my back. Everyone else I talked to knew about the dog accident - I did not have to repeat ANY information. They were all well informed. I'm still amazed at how well I was treated and how efficiently. I figured that looking into my back problem would be multiple visits and a lot of time. This office managed to put my mind at ease immediately. I could not recommend them higher.

The staff is fantastic and Drs Assistant is the best and Dr. is the best I’ve ever had. Can’t say enough good thinks about my physician and husband , Dr.P is the excellent.

Great first impression, looking forward to a full recovery, just got to convince my insurance.

Dr Dhruv is very kind and passionate. Plus he is a professional and expert he also has a very good team working with him. I truly appreciate all what have done for me.

Always good information and conversation on how to move forward with injury healing.

Dr. Pateder is very nice understanding and knowledgeable I recommend him highly

Excellent job

No pain since receiving cortisone injections by Dr. Pateder. And Dr. Pateder is always very friendly and puts me at ease.

Superb

Wow, I've been here before and just loved every " kid" who really helped this very old lady I'm 86 and back to them again. I'm so lucky to have Camille for my primary coach. I put up such a "stink"because they weren't going to get to me until April but I am free to take cancellations so they are already treating me. I'm so happy and working so hard that I'm not going to take the heavy duty pain relief. This is an unbelievably great physical therapy organization.

Dr. Pateder recognized that I lack flexibility and made sure I was safe when descending from the table after I received my shot.

Dr. Dhruv Pateder, MD and the staff at Town Center Orthopedics are truly caring people. Not only are they professional, they are also knowledgeable and very courteous. This is now my go to place for orthopedic help.

I went to Dr. Pateder for a second opinion, because my current doctor was stumped. He immediately identified the issue and started treatment within days of my initial consultation. I'm more than pleased with the level of care he's offered and can wholeheartedly recommend him.

Doctor Pateder is the best.

Very professional. Dr Pateder was very kind and explained patiently my health situation and options.

Dr. Pateder is the best! Plus his outstanding staff has exemplary bedside manners. I’ve used Dr. Pateder for the last 11 years. He ALWAYS takes the time to explain my medical situation in terms I can understand. Very much appreciated.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Town Center Orthopaedics - Ashburn, and I must say my experience was exceptional. Dr. Pateder stood out as a wonderful specialist who made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout my entire visit. Dr. Pateder conducted a thorough examination of my neck, leaving no stone unturned in understanding my condition. His expertise and ability to explain my situation in a clear and concise manner left me feeling well-informed and aware of what was happening with my neck. One aspect that impressed me during my visit was the practice's great staffing. Everyone I interacted with, from the receptionist to the nurses, was friendly, professional, and helpful. They all contributed to creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, which greatly enhanced my overall experience. Another notable aspect of Town Center Orthopaedics - Ashburn was their fast turnaround time. Even though the practice seemed busy, I did not have to wait for an extended period before being attended to. This efficiency is a testament to their commitment to providing quality care while respecting their patients' time. Aside from their impressive service, I also appreciated the lovely atmosphere at the practice. The waiting area and examination rooms were clean, organized, and soothing. This attention to detail in creating a calming environment played a significant role in reducing any anxiety I had before the appointment. Overall, I highly recommend Town Center Orthopaedics - Ashburn, especially if you are in need of orthopaedic care. Dr. Pateder's exceptional skills, combined with the great staffing, fast turnaround time, and lovely atmosphere, make this practice the ideal choice for anyone seeking top-notch orthopaedic services.

Dr Pateder‘s staff are efficient and professional. He is open and honest about treatment and options. Very pleased with the outcome

What an amazing find of a surgeon! A surgeon who has both the skillset of a neurosurgeon and also an orthopedic surgeon. Tucked away in Towncenter Orthopedics in Reston, across from Reston Hospital Center is a practice which contains a wonderful practice of various surgical specialties. Dr Pateder works here and I had a wonderful second opinion consultation with him about an upcoming back surgery. Though he was running late for my appointment, he could already tell I was knowledgeable and we discussed the recommended procedure that he has been doing for years and currently does about 5-6 per week. I felt like a valued patient and I will be back to have him perform my surgery. He was recommended from a friend who had surgery with him, so I already knew he was tops in his field. If you need surgery involving the spine or any discs or vertebrae, schedule an appointment with Dr. Pateder. You won't go wrong and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Pateder is the best and he has an excellent staff, very efficient and courteous.

Great experience all the way around. Dr. Reeves and Dr. Pateder are fantastic. Informed and engaging.

I went Dr. Pateder as I had neck issues and found him extremely professional, patient and he took time to answer my questions. His background is quite impressive, and if it comes down to a surgical solution, I would trust him implicitly.

Dr P is an outstanding doctor. I visited 5 doctors about my back pain and he is the only one who really listened. When I went to have my three level back fusion, he determined that during the surgery he only needed to doing a two level. I don’t there is a doctor in the world who would have done this. If you are considering back surgery make sure you visit him before making you final decision.

Dr. Pateder was friendly professional and I felt comfortable being under his care. He explained my issue in a way that I can understand. Highly recommend.

My visit yesterday was extremely efficient and they allowed everyone to return to the building. There was a delay because of some emergency protocol. The staff was very pleasant to deal with.

I was seen by Dr. Pateder. Wonderful doctor. I really appreciate his explanation of my medical visit. I highly recommend him.

Had a great first visit with Dr. Pateder. The Ashburn office is clean and efficient.

I've always felt very comfortable and confident with Dr. Pateder. He's excellent. Everyone that works with him is top notch.
