Background

A graduate of Northwestern University and Northwestern University Medical School, Dr. Mahidhar Durbhakula completed orthopaedic surgery residency training at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Dr. Mahidhar Durbhakula's areas of expertise include arthroscopic, minimally invasive, reconstructive, and microsurgical treatment of both acute and chronic conditions of the hand, wrist and elbow.

Dr.Durbhakula offers his patients clear and forthright discussions of expectations on what they should expect from surgery to the followup. His goal is to provide the highest level of care to his patients.

This begins with listening to patients and working together with them to develop the best treatment plans for their particular conditions. Most conditions can be successfully treated with nonoperative techniques. For those problems requiring surgery, Dr. Mahidhar is trained in the latest techniques to alleviate pain and restore function. Visit OrthoBethesda.com to learn more about Dr. Mahidhar Durbhakula.
