Dear Facebook Friends,
After 30 fulfilling years, I have decided to retire from my practice of orthopaedic surgery, effective August 31, 2020. I have wonderful memories from my time serving the Northern Virginia and greater Washington, D.C. communities, including 8 years as the Head Team Orthopaedic Surgeon for the Washington Football Team (formerly Washington Redskins).
As you may know, I have a passion for innovation, having invented numerous orthopaedic instruments and devices, including the world’s first knotless suture anchor. While I am leaving clinical practice, I remain committed to my continued participation in medical innovation in my new venture, THAL INNOVATIONS. In addition to my continued orthopaedic innovation, I will be advising medical companies & start-ups in their development of innovative products. You can learn more about my medical innovation activities on my website at www.raythalmd.com.
If you have any questions or comments, I can be reached via email at [email protected].
Thank you for being a part of my professional journey.
Warmest Regards
