At NOC and our state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility, Virginia Sports Medicine Institute, we treat all of our patients, including professional and recreational athletes, those with non-athletic injuries, children as well as adults, with uncompromising care, compassion and understanding. Matthew Buchanan, Robert Nirschl, Derek Ochiai, Ronald Paik, Cassie Root, and Clay Wellborn welcome the opportunity to participate in your care.

At Nirschl Orthopaedic Center, our commitment to advancing orthopaedic care goes beyond treating patients. It also includes educating and mentoring the next generation of surgeons around the world.

Dr. Ochiai recently returned from the Arthroscopy Association of North America 2026 meeting in Phoenix, where he presented a lecture on the treatment of borderline hip dysplasia alongside former fellow Dr. Farshad Adib. Opportunities like these reflect our dedication to improving patient outcomes through continued education, collaboration, and surgical training both nationally and globally.

Dr. Root had the opportunity to attend the Arlington County Medical Society’s recent panel discussion on GLP-1s and their growing impact on the practice of medicine.
A highlight of the evening was the meaningful impact beyond the discussion: ACMSF donated $16,000 to the Wakefield High School Education Foundation to fund scholarships for graduating students pursuing careers in medicine.
Always proud to see our physicians engaged in conversations that not only shape healthcare today, but also support the next generation of medical professionals!
