Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists (AOS) is proud to announce that we have been recognized with Overall Gold for Best Orthopaedic Group and Overall Gold for Best Physical Therapy Practice by Coastal Virginia Magazine Best of Readers’ Choice Awards 2026.
This year marks an extraordinary milestone for our practice with 13 consecutive years of earning Overall Gold for Best Orthopaedic Group. We are also honored to celebrate another Overall Gold award for Best Physical Therapy, with our Physical Therapy team continuing its remarkable record of being recognized every year.
These honors reflect more than outstanding orthopaedic and physical therapy services. They represent the continued trust of our patients, families, and communities throughout Hampton Roads and Coastal Virginia. For more than a century, AOS has remained committed to helping people reduce pain, restore mobility, recover from injuries, and return to the activities that keep life in motion.
Thirteen Consecutive Years as Coastal Virginia’s Best Orthopaedic Group
Being named #1 Best Orthopaedic Group for the 13th year in a row is a distinction we are deeply grateful to receive. Year after year, this recognition reinforces our commitment to providing comprehensive, patient-centered orthopaedic care across Hampton Roads.
Our team understands that every patient’s journey is different. Whether someone is recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic joint pain, preparing for joint replacement surgery, healing from a fracture, or seeking specialized care for a complex orthopaedic condition, our goal is to provide expert treatment with compassion, collaboration, and respect.
This 13-year milestone would not be possible without the patients who continue to choose Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists and recommend our care to their families, friends, teammates, and neighbors. We are sincerely thankful for the trust our community places in us year after year.
Overall Gold for Best Physical Therapy Practice in Coastal Virginia
We are equally proud to celebrate our Physical Therapy team, recognized as the #1 Best Physical Therapy Practice this year.
Physical therapy is an essential part of recovery for many patients.

Our rehabilitation teams work closely with AOS providers to support a connected approach to care. This collaboration helps patients move from diagnosis and treatment into recovery with a team focused on improving strength, function, mobility, and confidence.
Receiving Overall Gold for Best Physical Therapy is a meaningful reflection of the dedication our therapists and staff bring to patients every day. We are grateful for their expertise, encouragement, and commitment to helping our community stay active.
