at Georgetown University Medical Center.

He has a special interest in sports medicine and performs a number of intricate procedures including arthroscopy, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions, arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, and shoulder stabilization procedures.
As an active participant in the professional medical arena, Dr. McConnell has served as the Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at Virginia Hospital Center and as a member of the Applicant Review Committee of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Also involved in academia, he serves as Director of the Orthopaedic Residency Program at Virginia Hospital Center and as a Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Georgetown University Hospital where he is a three-time recipient of the Kenmore Orthopaedic Teaching Award.

Treatment with Dr. McConnell has been excellent. The Arlington office is nice, no long waits to see Dr. McConnell and he is always willing to answer my ton of questions. I have had an excellent experience with him as an orthopaedic doctor and surgeon on 2 different surgeries. I would recommend him to family and friends in a moment.
