Are Orthopedic Telehealth Appointments Right For Me?

Orthopedic telehealth allows patients who have difficulty complying with treatment schedules the freedom to be seen by their provider at a time that works best for them. Orthopedic telehealth appointments may benefit the following patients:

  • Patients with chronic joint aches and muscle pain.
  • Individuals needing follow-up appointments after surgery or treatment.
  • Those with acute injuries who require immediate attention.
  • Patients requiring frequent physical therapy sessions.
  • Anyone who cannot easily access one of our physical locations due to distance or mobility issues.

Telehealth visits may not be the best option if you have limited access to technology, have unreliable hardware, or are unfamiliar with troubleshooting your devices.

He had successfully repaired a nasty elbow fracture three years earlier on my other arm. I am a satisfied repeat customer, although I hope I do not make a habit of this. I like his manner, and I trust his skills.

He found a herniated disc and recommended surgery which I had four months later. That was four years ago and I have no problems with my back today. He was a wonderful and caring doctor that took time with me and my husband to explain everything. I would recommend him to anyone.

That sounds like a simple thing, but I've found it to rare. And he spends time with you based on your needs, not his schedule. The combination of those two things makes you feel like the most important person in the room, and it shows he truly cares. I would recommend him with no reservations whatsoever.

My three visits so far left me feeling confident while in his care. He is professional and kind, and always ask if I have questions. I’ve been seen for each appointment in a timely manner. The facility for which he practices is clean and his assistants and receptionists are very welcoming. Should I need foot or ankle care in the future, I will return to Dr. Harrod.
