About me
Te-feng Arthur Chou, MD, is a fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon who practices at MedStar Health. He specializes in sports medicine and joint preservation, offering minimally invasive procedures to repair damage to the knee, shoulder, and elbow. Dr. Chou advocates for joint preservation as an option for patients who are not yet ideal candidates for total joint replacement.
