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.

Expanding knowledge. Elevating patient care.

Dr. Ochiai recently traveled to Japan for the opportunity to observe Professor Soshi Uchida's innovative techniques in hip arthroscopy and hip preservation. Experiencing surgical approaches from another part of the world provides valuable perspectives that help advance patient care here at home.
