The Centers Welcomes New Divisions

Published February 18, 2015

One year in, we are proud to welcome two new divisions to The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics: Maryland Orthopaedic Institute and Bay Area Orthopaedics. Our growth as an organization is a testament to the great work we are doing to preserve the private practice model. While our focus is on quality over growth, through our strength in numbers, we are emerging as true industry leaders and attracting impressive orthopaedic talent.

At Maryland Orthopedic Institute, founding physician Dr. Christopher M. Farrell focuses on restoring each patient to a full and active life by providing superior orthopaedic care. Dr. Farrell provides services including Knee and Hip Replacements, Sports Medicine, Knee Arthroscopy and General Orthopaedics. He is fellowship-trained in Joint Reconstruction and Sports Medicine with a focus on the knee. Dr. Farrell has served as a Fellow for both the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets’ Orthopedic Surgeons. Dr. Farrell practices in the Maryland Orthopedic Institute office in Bethesda, Maryland.
