Hip & knee replacement for Silver Spring patients
Silver Spring patients have convenient access to Dr. Harb’s Washington, D.C. office via the Beltway or 16th Street, and surgery is performed at Capital Orthopedic Surgery Center or Johns Hopkins Sibley Memorial Hospital depending on the procedure.
Where Silver Spring patients see Dr. Harb
Dr. Harb sees patients from Silver Spring at both offices — whichever fits your schedule and routine best.
- The Washington, D.C. office at 1015 18th Street NW — roughly 20–30 minutes west via the Beltway, 16th Street, or Connecticut Avenue; also a Red Line trip from downtown Silver Spring to Farragut North
- The Germantown office at 20410 Observation Drive — a manageable drive up I-270 from western Silver Spring, with free on-site parking
Both offices handle the full range of in-office care.
Surgery accessible from Silver Spring
For most primary hip and knee replacements, surgery is performed at the Capital Orthopedic Surgery Center (COSC) in Germantown — accessible from Silver Spring via the Beltway and I-270. COSC is an outpatient-focused surgical facility built around joint replacement, with the great majority of patients heading home the same day.
For revision surgery or medically complex cases, Dr. Harb operates at Johns Hopkins Sibley Memorial Hospital on Loughboro Road NW — a manageable drive from Silver Spring and the right level of care when a hospital setting is warranted.

What sets the practice apart
- Direct anterior hip replacement — a muscle-sparing approach that lets most patients walk the same day and recover comfortably at home.
- Modern, rapid-recovery knee replacement — a soft-tissue–respecting approach with detailed preoperative templating and modern medial-pivot implant designs, supporting early walking and a smoother return to daily life.
- Two office options — D.C. via the Beltway or Germantown up I-270, whichever works for your schedule.
- High surgical volume — Dr. Harb performs more than 600 hip and knee replacements each year, with over 5,000 to date.
- JointBooklet recovery platform — surgeon-designed recovery support that follows patients through every milestone after surgery.
