About me
Taylor DAmore Kimball, MD, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement surgery at MedStar Health. She focuses on helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to the activities they enjoy through both primary and revision joint replacement procedures.
Additionally, she has advanced expertise in treating complex cases, including revision surgeries for infection, implant loosening, and wear. Dr. Kimball is also trained in the latest robotic-assisted and computer navigation technologies. In addition to total joint replacements, she performs partial knee replacement surgeries.
As a former All-American lacrosse player at Johns Hopkins University and member of the USA National Lacrosse Team, Dr. Kimball understands the importance of staying active at every stage of life. She is committed to helping her patients improve their quality of life and achieve their personal goals, whether that means walking comfortably, keeping up with grandchildren, or returning to competitive athletics.
