Hunt Valley Practice Has 16 Exam Rooms, On-Site Imaging, Physical Therapy and Space for Procedures

The University of Maryland Department of Orthopaedics has opened a new location in Baltimore County offering a range of services for patients of all ages. Located at 226 Schilling Circle near the Hunt Valley Towne Center and light rail station, the practice features 16 exam rooms, a dedicated procedure room, on-site imaging and a state-of-the-art physical therapy center that provides treatment for adults and children.

"We have been able to significantly expand the orthopaedic and sports medicine services we offer to patients at our new Hunt Valley location," said Andrew Pollak, MD, the James Lawrence Kernan Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopaedics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Chief of Orthopaedics at the University of Maryland Medical Center and Senior Vice President for Clinical Transformation and Chief of Orthopaedics for the University of Maryland Medical System. "Our patients benefit from the convenient location just off Shawan Road and I-83 with plenty of immediately accessible parking."

The new office occupies 16,800 square feet on the first floor of the redeveloped Schilling Green III office building, currently owned by Merritt Properties and once home to McCormick & Company, which built a new global headquarters nearby in 2018. University of Maryland Orthopaedics has other locations at Camden Yards in Baltimore and in Columbia, with additional sites planned for Prince George’s County and Baltimore County.

Appointments are available with board-certified faculty physicians of the University of Maryland School of Medicine often within 24-48 hours. The site offers imaging to diagnose bone fractures and a specialized casting area. Doctors can also perform outpatient procedures, including pain-relieving epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation. University of Maryland School of Medicine therapists are available to provide physical and occupational therapy to adults and children. Appointments can be made at (410) 448-6400 or online at www.umortho.org.
