About Anthony Velott

Professional Statement

Dr. Anthony Velott is a sports medicine surgeon who specializes in treating athletic injuries. Upon completion of his medical degree at Tufts University, Dr. Velott completed his orthopedic surgery internship and residency at Georgetown University Hospital. Afterwards, he completed an additional fellowship year of sports medicine subspecialty training at the Detroit Medical Center. While in training, Dr. Velott has been a part of the care teams for Georgetown University Athletics, the Detroit City Football Club playing in the US Championship League, the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, and the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League. Dr. Velott has also been the head team physician for numerous high school football teams in the Maryland, DC, Virginia, and Michigan areas. Dr. Velott's primary interests are the treatment of athletic injuries, shoulder injuries and arthritis, and the expedited return of athletes to their sport. He treats individuals ranging from the occasional recreational player to the professional level athlete. He specializes in ligamentous reconstructions, minimally invasive joint surgery, rotator cuff diseases, kneecap injuries, cartilage restoration, and shoulder replacements. For most athletes and injuries, Dr. Velott believes surgery is not the first or best option. He will always try to offer nonoperative treatments and only suggest surgical options when they are necessary to best treat his patients. In his free time, Dr. Velott enjoys golfing, snowboarding, playing volleyball, smoking pork shoulders and briskets, and spending time with his wife, Jessica.

      I saw Dr. Velott for shoulder pain. He took time to listen to my concerns, answered questions and made suggestions. I did not feel rushed at all and would recommend his services to anyone with orthopedic issues.

      Dr Velott is an excellent surgeon with abundant knowledge, skills and expertise. The shoulder replacement went very smooth with little or no pain post operatively I just completed my 1 year followup and both of us are very well pleased with the outcome. I recommend Dr Velott as he is very easy to talk to and understand.

      There should have been printed or even handwritten instructions for how to care for this rather debilitating injury - on at least a week by week basis. The only good advice was how to navigate changing shirts and an exercise to do after 3 weeks of healing. There was nothing about gentle ROM and PROM exercises to start right away- I had to find this information online, after just resting and protecting and not moving the affected limb for a week. When my dog was recovering from TTA surgery, I received a booklet starting from day after surgery, step by step exercises, how to increase these week by week, then information for continuing over several months. (She made a complete recovery with no residual issues.)

      It would have been helpful if the correct size brace had been given at the beginning because the brace really didn't, it didn't fit. It was too large and it hurt, possibly causing more damage. And that was not the provider, that was an assistant. But we were very happy with the provider. He was very patient.
