“I accepted a position at Commonwealth because I knew some of the doctors from working with them at Fairfax Hospital. The doctors and the staff are a great team to work with because everyone is friendly, professional, caring and most of all create a stress free environment. Working for Commonwealth has been one of the best companies I have worked for.”

““It’s one of those ‘being in the right place at the right time’ stories. I was looking for a job and the spine surgeon at the Herndon office was looking for a secretary. That was four and a half years ago and I still am very fortunate and happy to be part of this organization. It’s a team effort here at Commonwealth Orthopaedics and that is what makes it so fun and rewarding everyday. Our physicians are truly some of the most dedicated, hardworking and talented doctors I have ever worked with over the last 32 years. Our physicians and managers give us the encouragement, respect and support that help us to do our jobs to the best of our ability. I am proud to be part of the Commonwealth Orthopaedics family, where we all have the same goal: to provide top notch care to our patients with that personal touch! ”

“I chose to work for Commonwealth for the reason that I wanted to work for an organization that was a much larger business than most medical offices and that would allow me to grow within the corporation. I’ve stayed with Commonwealth because of the supportive management and the respect that the physicians show their staff and to their patients.”
