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.

Another physician in her practice insisted I did not have a torn rotator cuff, because it was not visible on the MRI. He grew frustrated with my continued pain and immobility and referred me to her. She felt that I did have a tear and actually found two during the surgery. She listens carefully, retains your information and keeps careful notes. I have complete confidence in her abilities.
