Anthony L. Avery, MD

Dr. Anthony Avery, a Northern Virginia native, received a BS in Chemistry from Villanova University and returned to the Washington area to earn his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine. He then completed five years of orthopedic surgery training including clinical training at Monmouth Medical Center, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Morristown Memorial Hospital. Dr. Avery went on to Brown University to complete a fellowship in sports medicine and arthroscopy. He has a special interest in sports-related injuries, shoulder and knee arthroscopy, adult and pediatric trauma and joint replacement, with an interest in minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Avery chose to specialize in orthopedic surgery because of the satisfaction he feels helping his patients recover from injury, regain mobility and return to the activities they enjoy. Playing a part in this very emotional and often life-changing experience is the most rewarding aspect of his work. During his residency and fellowship, Dr. Avery cared for a variety of athletes at Brown University. He also served as a physician for the American Hockey League’s Providence Bruins. He hopes to continue that strong community involvement and provide medical expertise for local sports teams now that he’s back home in Northern Virginia. When Dr. Avery is not practicing orthopedic surgery, he enjoys fishing, lacrosse, golf and scuba diving.
