The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the current health care landscape. As of now, elective surgeries have been put on a temporary hold. But soon enough, surgery centers and hospitals will open up and allow surgeons to perform much-needed elective surgeries for their patients.
In the meantime, Signature Orthopedics continues to help patients get prepped and ready for their future orthopedic surgeries.
In our offices, we can still provide many services such as imaging (X-rays, MRIs), injections, and casts, splints and braces. Quite often, these services give patients comfort while they await surgeries on their spine, shoulder, hip, knee or feet.
Depending on the circumstances, patients can even be seen via telehealth appointments on their smartphone or computer. Many Signature Orthopedics providers are using secure doxy.me telehealth appointments as an alternative to in-clinic appointments, and can provide care to patients in the comfort of their own homes.
Our goal is to alleviate patients’ pain, keep them comfortable, and have them ready to go for surgery when the time comes.
Contact us today for more details on what Signature Orthopedics is doing to care for orthopedic patients during this time.
