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.

We can not say enough good things about Dr. Kevin M. Denehy, and his staff. Not only is Dr. Denehy an outstanding surgeon but he has an amazing bedside manner.

Not only is Dr. Denehy an outstanding surgeon but he has an amazing bedside manner. We went to see if after consulting another surgeon and liked what he had to say. My mother needed a full knee replacement at 85 years old. I was concerned with her being put under general anesthesia due to complications for someone her age. Dr. Denehy suggested a spinal which was the perfect solution! The other surgeon stated my mother would have to go to rehab for two weeks, Dr. Denehy said she could go home as long as someone stayed with her for 48 hours. He is concerned with possible infection at a rehab. The nurses at Baptist raved about him, said he had the lowest infection rate in the hospital and they would recommend him for their family. Anyway, 9 weeks post opt, my 85-year-old mother has completely recovered and no longer needs to do physical therapy. 2 weeks post-op she could walk without her walker

Excellent Doctor. Dr. Hunt treated my achilles, 5th metatarsal, and calcaneus injury. He repaired my foot so I may walk again. I would recommend Dr. Hunt to anyone for any orthopedic injury. Wonderful staff as well.

Dr. Harrod saw me for an ankle injury. He was my second opinion after my being dissatisfied with the treatment I received at another clinic. I appreciate that he didn’t jump right to surgery but tried more conservative treatments... Dr. Harrod saw me for an ankle injury. He was my second opinion after my being dissatisfied with the treatment I received at another clinic. I appreciate that he didn’t jump right to surgery but tried more conservative treatments first. He clearly explained his reasoning and what to expect. Ultimately, I did have the surgery, and I’m glad I did, it fixed me right up. Dr. Harrod is friendly, easy to talk to, and genuinely listens.

Dr. Lockstadt is professional, proficient, kind, and attentive. He has performed several operations on my back and I am healing very well. His follow up care and attention to detail make the experience that much better.
