George L. Yeh, MD,  originally from Colonial Heights, Virginia, joined Potomac Valley Orthopedic Associates in 2002.  He obtained his medical degree from Yale University in 1995.  Next he completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in 2001.  The last leg of the scholastic odyssey was hand surgery fellowship training at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City from 2001 to 2002.  Dr. Yeh is board certified.  He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the American Society for Surgery of the Hand.

Dr. Yeh specializes in Hand and Upper Extremity surgery.  He is interested in treating problems of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder, including everything from carpal tunnel syndrome to tendonitis to arthritis to fractures to the pesky paper cut.  Dr. Yeh especially enjoys knowing his patients on a personal level.  And he takes great pleasure in helping them recover and have fun with their favorite pastimes, whether it involves the steely stamina of sports, or the nimble knuckles of knitting, or even the tick-tock tapping of texting.
