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.

Dr. Balthrop and his staff were simply outstanding! From my first visit to the time of my OUTPATIENT hip replacement yesterday everything was as professional as a well oiled machine, but also personalized. My assigned nurse called this morning to check on me. Almost no pain at all. It has been a day and a half and my main concern is not overdoing my movement, cause I feel like I could generally do anything I wanted to do. Thanks to Dr. Balthrop and his first rate staff!

I tore my labrum in my right shoulder, and he really knew how to fix it correctly. This was my first ever surgery and he walked me through it with ease and made me feel comfortable. Throughout the recovery phase he really kept me in the loop with what I needed to do and answered all my questions. I have another surgery on my left shoulder, and I will be returning. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good shoulder surgeon.

Can not imagine anyone having a bad experience with him or his staff. Third time dealing with him in last 1 1/2 years, last time he joked with us that we could just stop by and say hello , didn't have to go to such extremes. Very knowledgeable and just as nice.

They are great. Excellent communication between staff and doctor. Doctor Favetto is gentle, he explained all my options, and discussed all possible side effects aka problems that might occur with the type of surgery we are considering. They are great.

I prefer him cause he has a sense of humor and is very straight forward. Also the fact that he tries to avoid surgeries if possible, which is a relief if therapy can fix the issue and get me back to work.

Had a new problem with my neck and after x-rays I was offered an injection in the problem area. Today I feel much better. Dr Lockstadt is very receptive to his patients.

So glad I went to Dr O'Neill for my hand surgery. I could not be more pleased. No one wants to have surgery, but when you have to, it's so great to have all your questions answered and have great results!
