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.

In my opinion, Harry Lockstadt saved my life over 20 years ago when all the neurosurgeons I had seen, including the Cleveland Clinic, were perplexed on how to treat my injury.

It was my first time having to visit Bluegrass for a sudden foot issue. Dr. Harrod wasted no time displaying care while understanding my issue. He did not schedule be for a second consult visit just to run up another bill. He quickly diagnosed and had a solution to my problem. I needed a shot directly in the area to help with my pain. He explain what I should expect over the next weeks and then said he would want to check my progress in a few weeks. He is a great Doctor who treats all of his patients the same. Great 1st visit. I recommend him highly.
