How Virtual Visits Work
Virtual Visits are one-on-one video appointments with your Orthopedic provider. Virtual Visits can be conducted for initial appointments for new patients, surgical consults, second opinions, and follow-up care across all bone and joint conditions so that you can begin – or continue – your treatment.
All you need is a smartphone, tablet or computer with video camera to get started. Call or request an appointment online, and our team will guide you through the process.
