First time meeting this Doctor, he didn’t cut corners and told me exactly what was going on with my shoulder. I scheduled surgery that day.

I felt like we were bothering him but my son‘s Dr gave him a referral for an ortho Doctor. The problem ended up being benign, but I just really got the impression that we weren’t worth his time. Kind of like why are you here? I’m sure he’s a good Dr. Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Dr. Alvin J. Detterline is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, specializing in sports medicine, arthroscopy (including knee, shoulder, and hip), and general orthopaedics.
Dr. Detterline strongly believes in minimally invasive procedures utilizing the most up-to-date techniques to maximize patient recovery and minimize pain. Many procedures can be performed arthroscopically (through the use of small incisions and a camera instead of large open surgical wounds) which allow for a quicker recovery for many patients.
Dr. Detterline grew up in northwest Indiana just outside Chicago. After completing his orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine training, he moved to Baltimore in 2008. He is an avid tennis player who also enjoys exercising, running, national parks, American history, and spending time with his wife and two young children.
