David Romness specializes in hip and knee replacement and arthritis treatment at the Arlington and McLean-Tysons offices of OrthoVirginia, the commonwealth’s largest provider of orthopedic care. High treatment success rates are what drew him to the field. “My goal is to help people get better,” says the Arlington native, “and I get to see that a lot.” The medical specialty also seems to run in the family: His father, brother and one brother-in-law are also orthopedic surgeons. In addition to seeing about 100 patients and performing 10 to 14 surgeries per week, Romness is a clinical assistant professor at Georgetown University’s School of Medicine and volunteers with the Arlington Free Clinic. –Stephanie Kanowitz
