Patient Testimonials
“Dr. Aguiar and all of the staff at OrthoVirginia have been great. Dr. Aguiar listened carefully, accurately diagnosed my shoulder issue, and developed a plan of action to relieve my pain and return me to the activities I love to do. The staff also dealt with the insurance push back on my MRI. Surgery may still be in my future but I’m confident I’ll be in good hands with Dr. Aguiar and team.” – Courtney F.
