Looking for a Maryland doctor
I figured I'd take a random shot-in-the-dark with this one.
I am looking for an osteopath or orthopedist in MD/NOVA area (I live near Gaithersburg, but will travel for a good one) that might specialize or at least have experience in diagnosing cyclists.
My bike fitter suspects I have an LLD or pelvic issue that severely compromises my comfort on the bike.
I previously went to a doctor near me, but he didn't perform any kind of true examination and actually just said, "just don't ride your bike so much".
So, was hoping to find a doctor that might have experience helping cyclists or a passion for riding themselves, so I can work toward a solution.

Heheh, I agree.
Losing the bike (well, the ability to ride it) is exactly what I am trying to avoid by going to a medical professional.
I am a solitary cyclist, so I don't have a local group of fellow riders to ask for a recommendation or referral...

When I lived in Clarksburg MD, I used to go to Doctors First in Germantown with Dr. Patel. They were great with helping me with a variety of leg issues.
If they can't help you, they are good for pointing you to who can.
