Our users trust us

I have had the pleasure of working with Ortho Care on Demand on two occasions in the past few months. Under pressing circumstances both times the service has been professional, helpful, and caring. They guided me through a process that could have been arduous and were efficient and pleasant to deal with. They were dependable and called back when they agreed to and the follow through was spot on!

Verified patient

I went from feeling lost and helpless to being the hero in a very scary and stressful situation with the help of Ortho Care on Demand. It was extremely quick and easy.

Primary Care

Pain management, palliative care.

At Mobile Physician Services, our customized care teams provide patients with both comfort and familiarity as they work with a dedicated primary care provider and care coordinator to improve their health. Our physicians and staff take a proactive approach to preventive care, chronic disease management, and chronic illness support right where you live.

Each home visit includes an in-depth examination and individualized treatment plan, which is monitored and adjusted through routine follow-up visits. The primary care provider will deliver your ongoing care and will recommend to you specialty services as needed.

• Annual Wellness visits : This wellness visit allows your primary care provider to create or update your personalized prevention plan. This visit includes a review of your medical and social history related to your health and may include counseling about preventive services. This plan may help you to prevent or reduce the chances of future illness based on your current health and risk factors.
• New Illness Exams : When a new symptom or ailment arises, call us. Early indications of not feeling well could be a clue that you may be getting sick. A symptom in one part of the body may also be a sign of a problem in another part of the body. Moreover, unrelated symptoms that might seem minor on their own, could be warning signs of a more serious medical disease or condition. The new illness exam can be very brief or more detailed depending on your concerns and the provider’s findings.
• Follow-up Care: Involves a regular medical checkup, which may include a physical exam and laboratory testing. Follow-up care checks are a proactive way of assessing the potential for and preventing health problems from returning after treatment of a disease has ended or an illness has seemingly passed.
• Referral for Specialty Care : Referrals are the link between primary and specialty care. The referral coordination includes the documentation of patient care activities, the transfer of information, the inter-provider communication itself, and the integration of care services to the patient. Mobile Physician Services is a multi-specialty practice so many of these specialty referral services can be made seamlessly with little inconvenience or disruption to the patient and caregivers regular routines.
• Medication Management: Medication management is a treatment structure that ensures our patients are receiving optimal therapeutic results from their prescription medications, both in the short and long term. Our team’s goal is to mitigate medication noncompliance and monitor all prescriptions treatments so that drug interactions complement one another for the most optimal outcome for our patients.

The provider may be a physician, advanced practice nurse or a physician assistant. A dedicated care coordinator will also be assigned for each patient to help arrange comprehensive services and assist patients and their caregivers.

• Online Patient Portal: You and your designated caregiver, if you choose, will be able to connect with your provider through a convenient, safe and secure environment which allows access to your health records and a way to communicate with our staff in a timely manner.
• Telephone Assistance : On call providers are available 24/7 weekdays and weekends.

Our psychiatry team specializes in the diagnosis and management of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. They carefully evaluate each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan to improve the patient’s overall mental and physical well-being.

• Depression : Depression is a common and often serious medical illness that negatively affects how you may feel, the way you may think, and how you may act. Depression can cause feelings of sadness, despair and hopelessness, which may lead to a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.
• Anxiety : Intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday common situations. The worry or anxiety could make you feel fatigued, irritable, and interfere with your regular sleep habits.
• Dementia : An overall term that is used to describes a collection of symptoms related to an individual’s decline in memory or other thinking skills. It may be severe enough to diminish a person’s ability to perform everyday common activities. The effects of dementia can negatively influence your memory, thinking and social abilities.
• Phobias : A phobia is when you experience excessive panicking or an irrational fear reaction to a situation. If you have a phobia, you may experience a deep sense of dread or fright when you encounter the source of your fear. The fear may be a certain place, situation, object, animal or even another person.
• Behavioral disorders : Attention deficit, hyperactivity, bipolar, learning, defiant or conduct disorders are all examples of complaints that may have a detrimental impact on a person’s interpersonal relationships with family, friends, and co-workers.

Our team can provide behavioral counselling and medical therapy, when appropriate, to help a patient feel better about themselves and to assist them with better coping and managing their condition.

Our wound care specialists have been trained in the attention and treatment of all types of acute and chronic wounds. They have skill and experience in wound debridement and wound care procedures – managing chronic, non-healing wounds and infections, with a demonstrated care that fosters healing… right in the patient’s own home.

We specialize in serving homebound patients who may also be bed-bound or have difficulty in walking or moving around. As a result, immobility compression sores develop at pressure points on the body when the weight of an immobilized individual rests continuously on a firm surface, such as a mattress or wheel chair. Often these same patients are on oxygen or have high-risk medical conditions which makes it an even more challenging and stressful effort for them to travel to a doctor’s office for an appointment. Thus, the necessity for in home care and treatment.

Wounds that benefit from specialized wound care techniques include:

• Diabetic foot wounds and ulcers
• Post-surgical wounds
• Traumatic wounds caused by injury
• Arterial and vein stasis caused by lack of circulation
• Immobility pressure sores. (Bed sores from stillness)

We work closely with home health agencies to provide ongoing care and monitoring of patient’s wounds.

Our board-certified podiatrists treat foot pain, wounds, and more. Treatments may include but are not limited to treating conditions of the lower extremities which could hinder mobility.

• We will review each patients’ medical history to evaluate the condition of the feet, ankle or lower leg
• Carry out a diagnosis on the feet and lower legs through examination and medical tests
• Order physical therapy when deemed necessary
• Treat wounds of the lower extremities using various wound care modalities. This may include debridement to improve the healing potential
• Promote prevention, health & well being, the treatment and management of the foot and related problems, disability, deformity, and the pedal complications of chronic diseases for the elderly
• Prescribe and fit prosthetic appliances such as diabetic shoe inserts and evaluate for bracing if necessary
• Refer patients to other specialists for treatment, including conditions such as diabetes or arthritis
• Advise patients on ways to prevent future leg problems and increase speed of recovery
• Monitor the recovery progress of patients to determine the need for change in treatment

We know it’s not always easy to leave home to get the care you need for your eyes. Our optometrists bring state-of-the-art diagnostic eye equipment and technology to your home – making it much easier for you to get the vision care you need.

During a visit, your doctor will exam each eye for signs of serious issues such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and detached retinas, among other conditions.

Receiving regular eye exams regardless of the state of your vision can help detect serious eye problems at their earliest stages ─ when they are most treatable. During an eye exam, your doctor will observe and evaluate the health and condition of the blood vessels in your retina, which can be good indicators of the health of your blood vessels throughout the rest of your body.

• Comprehensive eye exams : This exam goes beyond a simple vision screening. A comprehensive eye exam includes a host of tests in order to do a complete evaluation of the health of your eyes and your vision.
• Annual retina exams : A retinal exam allows your doctor to evaluate the back of your eye, including the retina, the optic disk and the underlying layer of blood vessels that supply the retina.
• Eyeglass fittings : A prescription works best when your eyeglasses are properly fitted. Improper fitting may cause pinching, distorted vision, headaches, and even dizziness. Our doctors will make sure your prescription lenses and frames are working together for you.
• Diabetic eye exams : Diabetes does not have to lead to vision loss. Taking an active role in managing your diabetes can go a long way in curbing later complications. Regular eye exams, good management of your blood sugar and blood pressure, along with early intervention for vision problems can help prevent vision loss caused by diabetic retinopathy. Retinopathy is caused by damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye.
• Refractions: This test is given as part of your routine eye examination. It is often referred to as a vision test. This test assists your eye doctor in measuring you for the exact lens prescription you will need.
• Eye injuries: Eye trauma could be the result of a sudden blow to the eye. It may cause the eye to suddenly compress and retract which could cause damage to your eye and the surrounding tissue. Even if the injury may seem minor, all eye injuries should be furthered examined by a doctor for possible more serious and underlying injuries.
• Eye infections: The most common eye infection is conjunctivitis, also known as pink-eye. An eye infection can happen in almost any part of your eye, including your eye lid, cornea and optic nerve. Symptoms of eye infections may include redness, itching, swelling, discharge, pain, or problems with vision. Always consult with your doctor before treating, as recommended actions are contingent on the cause of the infection.
• Low-vision exams: A low vision exam is different from a normal eye exam. This functional-vision assessment determines how specific visual impairments affects your ability to perform everyday activities. The exam’s results assist your doctor in prescribing management tools and medications to better enhance and manage your remaining vision.

Pain management is the process of providing medical care that alleviates or reduces pain. Pain management is a subspecialty of general medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach to ease the suffering and improve the quality of life of those living with chronic pain by using a combination of pain medications, joint and muscles injections, and physical therapy techniques.

A pain management specialist is a provider with advanced training in diagnosing and treating pain. Our pain management specialists treat pain stemming from a variety of different causes, whether it’s neuropathic pain or headache, or the result of injury, a surgical procedure, cancer or another illness.

Palliative care is an approach to the holistic care of patients, including family and caregivers, to improve the quality of their lives after the diagnosis of a chronic debilitating disease or life-limiting illness that may cause a host of complaints.

Palliative care can begin at diagnosis and continue to be offered while the patient is continuing active treatment through different phases of their life limiting condition. Palliative care is for any patient with a chronic illness who is experiencing a decreased quality of life because of symptoms related to their illness or treatment, like renal dialysis, oxygen therapy or chemotherapy. The care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other specialists who work together to provide an extra layer of support to the patient and their caregivers.

Palliative care can help in symptom control including not only pain, but nausea, weakness, shortness of breath, fatigue and weight loss at any time during their diseases, not only at the end of life.

REcent Updates

Making sense of Medicare isn’t easy. Parts, A, B, C, D; HMOs; PFFS plans; SNPs. Navigating the system can feel like learning to code… blindfolded… with one hand tied behind your back. The point is, it can be overwhelmingly complicated. But at MD at Home one of our goals is to make quality healthcare easier to access and understand, so in this post we’re decoding the ins and outs of Medicare Advantage Plans, from A to Z.

No one wants to think about the likelihood of unfortunate events. Death, accidents, illness - we avoid these topics like the plague (both literally and figuratively). Why? Because they make us sad, because they make us uncomfortable, because sometimes superstition gets the best of us and we don’t want to tempt fate. But as difficult as they may be, these are important conversations to have with your loved ones or potential caregivers now, so that if and when the time comes, your wishes are clear. What we’re talking about is an advance healthcare directive. Here’s everything you need to know.

In 1930, house calls were standard practice for physicians, accounting for approximately 40 percent of patient visits. By 1950, this number had fallen to 10 percent, and by 1980, only about 1 percent of patient visits happened in the home. But as they say, everything old is new again, and with the coming demographic changes, it seems doctors may be making more home visits in the near future.

Diabetes and depression can each be conditions with devastation consequences on their own, let alone when a single individual suffers from both. Often times, the symptoms of one can exaggerate and accelerate the symptoms of the other, but fear not! There are a few simple steps you can follow to alleviate the symptoms and prevent the onset of both.

MD at Home provides home care, home medical doctors, and housecall physicians to patients in need with a focus on p reventing readmissions during the transition from an acute care setting to the home. For over 20 years, we’ve served as the premier healthcare resource for primary care and geriatric medicine for homebound patients in the Chicagoland area. Partnering alongside some of Chicago’s most established and respected institutions, we tailor our programs toward modern guidelines with an unwavering focus on clinical excellence, patient satisfaction, and measured clinical outcomes.   Our continuum of care and individual care plans highlight the importance of readmission reduction and high level transitions from the hospital to the home setting. MD at Home is transforming healthcare through our collaborative, proactive, and preventative approach to patient health.

Our approach reduces unnecessary hospitalizations and focuses on helping patients and caregivers better manage individual health from the comfort of their home.  Through our expertise in primary care and geriatric medicine, our licensed clinicians deliver a comprehensive approach in the management of chronic conditions to homebound patients, and our highly trained physicians and nurses are certified to perform most of the same services offered in a physician's office.  MD at Home is transforming reactive, crisis-oriented care into proactive, preventive medicine, reducing unnecessary emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and 30-day readmissions.

Who Qualifies for a Housecall Visit?

Patients with difficulty leaving home due to a mobility limitation, patients with difficulty leaving the home due to cognitive impairment, patients who require the use of special transportation to leave the home, patients with an inability to leave the home and for whom leaving the home requires taxing effort, patients requiring the assistance of another person to leave the home, patients for whom leaving the home is medically contradictory due to the patient's medical condition, accepted insurance.

MD at Home accepts the following insurance policies:

• Medicare Part B
• Medicare Pametto GBA
• Blue Cross Blue Shield (XOF, R, XOX)
• Blue Cross Blue Shield (XOS - Must have Medicare Part B as primary insurance)
• Aetna (PPO)
• United Health Care (PPO)
• United Medical Resources (PPO)

Physician Careers

MD at Home is hiring Physicians and Nurse Practitioners. Physicians with MD at Home have a luxury many other medical doctors severely lack: time . Unlike a typical seven minute visit, our physicians spend an hour or more with each patient, gaining a holistic view of the patient's health within their native environment. This not only means more insight into the patient's daily life, but also into their care support system, including interacting with family members and caregivers. This not only leads to better care for patients , but better lives for our doctors. Our physicians only work typical workday hours, allowing them to spend more time with their families, avoiding obscure hospital rounds or late nights. Our physicians using cutting-edge EMR technology to maintain up-to-date health records for each and every patient so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.

Joint Health Information for Patients and Caregivers Getting back to doing the things you love

Patients and caregivers.

Joint pain can make it hard to do the things you love. As you consider treatment options, potentially including joint replacement, it’s only natural that you’ll have questions.

You’re not alone on this journey. Every year several hundred thousand people are looking for a treatment for their knee, hip or shoulder pain.

Just like many other surgical procedures, you can do a lot to contribute to your recovery in order to achieve the best possible outcome. We want to support you with information when talking to your surgeon, who will advise you on what to expect from your surgery and how best to aid recovery.

Below you can find the areas that we will cover in more detail. Come back soon to find out more on how joint replacement can help improve the quality of life of joint patients and get them back to enjoying their favourite activities.

We understand that join pain can force you to change your life plans, but we want you to know that you’re not alone in this journey. Osteoarthritis is the most common musculoskeletal condition worldwide, and our solutions are designed to help millions of people just like you.

If your doctor has recommended a joint replacement you can prepare yourself physically and mentally, sleep well, relax and try not to worry. Before surgery, you should remain active and speak to your doctor what exercises might be good for you before surgery and once you have your new joint.

Because everyone is different, the time it takes for each individual to recover from surgery is unique. That being said, patients typically go through the same healing stages, regardless of the pace. Recognising the ways you can actively contribute can help manage expectations and aid recovery.

Common Reasons for Visiting an Orthopedic Doctor

• Health & Wellness

Subscribe to Our Blog

Do you have continued knee or back pain on a daily basis? Do you feel sore or stiff after sleeping or being sedentary for a long time? Do you have an injury that just doesn’t seem to be healing? These are some common reasons people visit an orthopedic specialist . But what are some others? Let’s go over some of the common reasons people see orthopedic doctors.

Orthopedic doctors can help reduce pain

Pain is one of the most common reasons people visit orthopedic doctors. These doctors specialize in the entire musculoskeletal system, understanding the various types of joints and how they work. This includes muscles, nerves, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and other connective tissue. There are many musculoskeletal conditions and injuries that can cause pain, and often, orthopedic specialists can help reduce or eliminate pain.

If you have pain, consider making an appointment. Orthopedic doctors diagnose and treat many types of pain all over the body, including:

• shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand pain
• ankle or foot pain
• back or neck pain

Whether your pain is dull or sharp, chronic or acute, an orthopedic doctor may be able to help.

Orthopedic doctors can help improve range of motion

Pain, swelling, injury, and joint stiffness can all lead to limited range of motion. And when your range of motion is limited, it can be difficult or painful to perform everyday tasks such as carrying things, taking care of yourself and even walking. Orthopedic specialists can work with you to increase range of motion and help you get back to normal. Increasing range of motion can often be accomplished through physical therapy, non-surgical treatment, and sometimes surgery.

Orthopedic doctors can make it easier to perform everyday tasks

Many people are willing to just tough it out, so to speak, and live with pain, limited range of motion, stiffness, and other symptoms that are annoying but not necessarily getting in the way of their lives. But when it becomes difficult to perform everyday tasks, like reaching to put something in a cabinet, bending over to pick something up from the floor, or even just getting out of bed or going for a walk, it’s time to see a doctor. Orthopedic specialists can talk with you to diagnose the cause of your symptoms and come up with a treatment plan that works for you and your lifestyle.

Orthopedic doctors can treat injuries and may be able to help prevent injuries

Broken bones, compression fractures, stress fractures, dislocations, muscle injury, and tendon tears or ruptures are common reasons people visit orthopedic doctors. Athletes will often work with orthopedists to help prevent future injury and optimize performance.

For example, some athletes are at risk for shoulder dislocation. And once they’ve experienced one dislocation, they’re at higher risk for future dislocations. Therapy may be able to help prevent future dislocations.

Orthopedic surgeons can repair broken bones and injuries to muscles and tendons, among other things and help improve function and reduce or eliminate pain. They can also work in conjunction with other specialists such as therapists, rehabilitation doctors and pain management specialists to optimize treatment. This will lead to improved function and mobility, reduced pain, and improved quality of life.

Some of the injuries that can be addressed with physical therapy, non-surgical treatments and sometimes surgery include:

• fractures, such as broken hip, broken wrist, kneecap, compression fracture of the vertebrae and others
• tendon injuries such as Achilles tendon rupture or ACL rupture
• meniscus tear
• ankle sprain
• plantar fasciitis
• labral tear   of the shoulder or the hip
• rotator cuff tear which is a common cause of shoulder pain
• tennis elbow
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• stress fracture

No matter what your injury involves, there’s a good chance an orthopedic specialist can help.

Orthopedic doctors treat musculoskeletal conditions

Orthopedic doctors see people with a variety of conditions that affect the muscles, nerves, bones, joints, and connective tissues. Conditions, such as arthritis, bursitis, and osteoporosis can cause pain and dysfunction that can be truly debilitating. Orthopedic conditions are often chronic, meaning they tend to last months or even years, and they are often progressive, which means they will get worse over time – especially without treatment. Some of these conditions are related to age, some are genetic, and some are caused by overuse of the affected area.

Some orthopedic conditions, like arthritis, can occur in many parts of the body. Arthritis involves inflammation of the joints that causes pain and dysfunction, and it can be experienced in any joint.

The five main categories of orthopedic conditions are:

• arthritis (including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
• osteoporosis
• pain (such as knee pain, hip pain, joint pain, and muscle pain)

Fortunately, there are effective treatments for most chronic orthopedic conditions. Your treatment plan will depend on factors like the severity of your condition and the degree to which it’s affecting your activities; your age; your overall health; and your lifestyle. Your doctor may recommend physical therapy, surgery, medication, in-office procedures, the RICE method (rest, ice, compression, elevation), or a combination of those options.

Orthopedic doctors can help you determine whether you need surgery

There are some common misconceptions about orthopedic surgery that we’d like to address. For example, some people may shy away from surgery, thinking that treatment won’t help, and they should just handle the pain and dysfunction on their own. Others think their pain is a normal part of aging they must simply accept, and they believe that surgery should be reserved for the obvious injuries. There’s also a common misconception that surgeons will always recommend surgery – even if it’s not necessary.

At Beaumont, we are dedicated to providing every patient with the right treatment at the right time.   Surgery is recommended only when nonsurgical treatment measures have failed to provide relief or in circumstance when nonsurgical options are unlikely to be successful.   Care is specific to each patient and our goal is always to improve our patients’ quality of life.  

Orthopedic doctors can perform surgical and non-surgical procedures

Orthopedic specialists can perform both surgical and non-surgical procedures to help treat your injury or condition. Some of those procedures are:

Surgical procedures

• joint replacement surgery
• joint revision surgery
• arthroscopy
• spinal surgery to relieve pressure off nerves
• disc replacement surgery and spinal fusion surgery
• soft tissue repair, such as procedures to repair torn or ruptured tendons or ligaments
• bone fracture repair
• osteotomy to correct bone deformity
• debridement or removal or damaged tissue or bone
• excision or removal of bone and soft tissue tumors

Non-surgical procedures

• fluid drainage, otherwise known as aspiration
• injecting steroids into the bursa
• ultrasound-guided steroid injections in the knee
• facet joint injection
• cervical epidural injection
• lumbar epidural steroid injection
• joint manipulation
• bracing or casting
• viscosupplementation to treat arthritis
• extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)
• lumbar sympathetic block

Orthopedic doctors can provide the opinion of a specialist

Another reason people see orthopedic doctors is to get the opinion – or a second opinion – of a specialist. It’s never a bad idea to go to the experts who see conditions or injuries like yours every day. If you have or think you may have a chronic orthopedic condition or you are suffering from an injury to your muscles, bones, joints, or connective tissue, make an appointment to see a doctor. It’s always, as they say, better to be safe than sorry. You don’t have to just live with pain and dysfunction. In fact, there’s a good chance treatment could greatly improve your symptoms.

When should you call an orthopedic doctor

We’ve covered some common reasons people see an orthopedic doctor, and before we sign off, we’d like to leave you with five signs and symptoms you should not ignore. If you are experiencing any of the following, please make an appointment with an orthopedic doctor to be evaluated.

• pain, stiffness, or discomfort that makes daily activities difficult
• chronic pain (pain that has lasted longer than 12 weeks)
• decreased range of motion
• instability while walking or standing
• progressive weakness or numbness in the arms or legs
• soft tissue injury that hasn’t improved after a few days

How do I know if I should see an Orthopedic Doctor near me?

Typically, your primary care provider will refer you to an Orthopedic Doctor if they believe it to be necessary. You can also explore your symptoms or research your diagnosis to see what kinds of providers commonly treat your health condition.

How do I find the best Orthopedic Doctor near me?

It’s often important to find an Orthopedic Doctor who has extensive experience treating your specific health condition. But it can also be challenging to find the best Orthopedic Doctor for you. User review sites like Yelp are often of minimal help, especially since there can be a number of problems with relying on reviews of Orthopedic Doctors from other patients. Here at MediFind, we evaluate physicians according to their expertise so you can quickly find an Orthopedic Doctor near you that best fits you. Each Orthopedic Doctor is assessed based on research, patient volume, standing among peers, and connectedness to other physicians related to a specific health condition.

You can find an Orthopedic Doctor in any of the 10 largest U.S. cities by clicking below: Orthopedic Doctor near New York, NY Orthopedic Doctor near Los Angeles, CA Orthopedic Doctor near Chicago, IL Orthopedic Doctor near Houston, TX Orthopedic Doctor near Phoenix, AZ Orthopedic Doctor near Philadelphia, PA Orthopedic Doctor near Atlanta, GA Orthopedic Doctor near Boston, MA Orthopedic Doctor near Dallas, TX Orthopedic Doctor near San Jose, CA

In what order are Orthopedic Doctors near me displayed?

When you search for Orthopedic Doctors near me on MediFind, there are three ways you can sort the resulting list: Relevance, Rating, and Distance. Relevance is selected by default.

Relevance : Sorts Orthopedic Doctors near me based on the following combination of factors:

• Orthopedic Doctors near me with videos. Many patients prefer to get a better feel for a potential Orthopedic Doctor before choosing to make an appointment. In fact, research shows that patients typically judge their Orthopedic Doctor’s expertise based on a combination of competence and warmth. Outside of meeting in person, videos are the best way to get a sense for a doctor’s personality and approach, so MediFind prioritizes Orthopedic Doctors who have videos available
• Specialty rating. In descending order of the number of health conditions in which an Orthopedic Doctor near me is rated Advanced or higher

Rating : Sorts Orthopedic Doctors near me based on the number of conditions in which a doctor is rated Advanced or higher within the specified geographic area. Distance : Sorts Orthopedic Doctors near me by proximity, within the search radius you have set.

Orthopedic Doctors near me who are members of partner programs may also appear in one of the two positions at the top of the results page, and are labeled as “featured.”

Should I get a second opinion from another Orthopedic Doctor near me for my health condition?

When you’re making important health decisions, it’s always recommended to get medical opinions from more than one doctor, and sometimes even more than one Orthopedic Doctor. If you just received a diagnosis, but something in your gut tells you to seek more guidance, it’s OK to consult with another doctor or Orthopedic Doctor near me to get additional insight into your condition and care. Second opinions are highly valuable because they can either confirm or disprove your original diagnosis or provide different perspectives from different Orthopedic Doctors. If you are unsure about getting a second opinion from another Orthopedic Doctor because you don’t want to offend your doctor, don’t let your concerns stop you. The fact is that most doctors, including Orthopedic Doctors, will not get offended and welcome second opinions, especially if you were diagnosed with a serious or rare condition. You can even use MediFind to search for another Orthopedic Doctor near you who can provide a second opinion .

How can I learn about the latest research and medical advances my Orthopedic Doctor may know about?

Orthopedic Doctors know there is new scientific research happening all the time, and in fact, it’s estimated that the total body of medical knowledge now doubles every 73 days . That’s a lot of information to keep up with, even for an excellent Orthopedic Doctor. MediFind can help you explore the latest medical advances, research, and breakthroughs for your health condition, giving you access to the same cutting-edge information as your Orthopedic Doctor.

How can I research clinical trials my Orthopedic Doctor might tell me about?

Depending on your specific health condition, your Orthopedic Doctor may bring up clinical trials during one of your appointments . Clinical trials are a type of medical research conducted by doctors and researchers, including Orthopedic Doctors, focused on evaluating the effects of new tests and treatments on human health. The purpose of clinical trials is to find improvements or discoveries for diseases and treatments, and your Orthopedic Doctor is likely working to stay on top of these developments. MediFind can help you easily search and filter clinical trials for your health condition that your Orthopedic Doctor may bring up in conversation. You can also learn more about what to consider when exploring clinical trials that you may wish to discuss with your Orthopedic Doctor.

What should I bring with me to an appointment with my Orthopedic Doctor near me?

Bring your list of concerns (or reasons for your visit) with you on a piece of paper or your phone, so you can easily recall them when speaking to your Orthopedic Doctor. You may want to consider bringing a friend or loved one for support, and to help you recall the information after your Orthopedic Doctor visit. Bring a notebook so you can take notes, copies of your medical records (dating back at least one year), a list of current medications, supplements and allergies to medications, your family history of disease, and a list of symptoms (and details about how long they last and how often they occur) to discuss with your Orthopedic Doctor. When talking with your Orthopedic Doctor, be honest and don’t hold anything back, since your doctor can only help you with the information you give them. Understanding the full picture will give your Orthopedic Doctor more to work with and help them provide you with the best care.

How can I get the most out of my Orthopedic Doctor appointment near me?

Being a “ good patient ” isn’t just about listening to your Orthopedic Doctor. It’s about engaging in your health together to ensure you receive a high quality of care , which is called practicing patient autonomy . It’s important to be honest with your Orthopedic Doctor, and hide nothing, even if it’s embarrassing. You should also speak up and voice your concerns, and listen and ask questions of your Orthopedic Doctor. You may also consider doing your own research on your condition and talking to other patients before or after speaking with your Orthopedic Doctor.

What questions should I ask my Orthopedic Doctor?

A few topics you may wish to ask your Orthopedic Doctor about include: diagnosis details, symptom management, medical care, second opinions from other Orthopedic Doctors, whether you should see a specialist near you other than an Orthopedic Doctor, treatment plans, side effects, and expectations for follow-up appointments with your Orthopedic Doctor.

Can an Orthopedic Doctor near me help me check symptoms?

Depending on your symptoms, an Orthopedic Doctor near you may be able to provide a different point of view on your health than a primary care physician. You can also explore your symptoms and bring the results with you to your Orthopedic Doctor visit for discussion.

What types of insurance are accepted by Orthopedic Doctors near me?

You should always contact your Orthopedic Doctor’s office to make sure they take your health insurance . Every Orthopedic Doctor has different arrangements with insurance providers. The most commonly accepted insurance may not be the same everywhere, but some of the largest insurance providers are: Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield, Centene, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, HCSC (Health Care Service Corporation), CVS Health/Aetna, Kaiser Permanente, Molina Healthcare, and Cigna. You can also check with any Orthopedic Doctor near you to see if they accept Medicare and Medicaid.

How can I book an appointment online with an Orthopedic Doctor near me ?

While contacting the doctor’s office directly is usually the fastest way to determine availability of an Orthopedic Doctor near you, MediFind offers direct scheduling and appointment requests for some partners. These Orthopedic Doctors will have a “schedule” button on their profiles. Phone numbers are also always provided for Orthopedic Doctors near me where possible.

Can I book a video visit with an Orthopedic Doctor near me ?

While many primary care physicians have begun to see patients online through video visits (often called telehealth or telemedicine), many of the top specialists, including leading Orthopedic Doctors near you, do not yet offer this service. This is due to the complexity of seeing new patients and the ever-changing regulatory environment that governs this type of care. Contacting the Orthopedic Doctor’s office directly is usually the best course of action to determine how to make an appointment, and which kind is most appropriate for you.

What are the most common health conditions that an Orthopedic Doctor near me might treat?

Arthritis Bone Tumor Bursitis Chondrosarcoma Gout Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Osteoarthritis Osteomalacia Osteomyelitis Osteoporosis Osteosarcoma Psoriatic Arthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Scleroderma Tendinitis Tenosynovitis

How do I find a female Orthopedic Doctor near me ?

Many patients prefer to see an Orthopedic Doctor near you of a specific gender, whether that be female, male, or non-binary. MediFind lets you filter your results by a number of factors, including gender, location, specialty, and years of experience.

What is a “Featured” result?

Search results for an Orthopedic Doctor near you may include “Featured” results that appear at the top of the page above MediFind’s organic orthopedics results. “Featured” results include a blue banner and the label “Featured” so that you can tell them apart from the organic search results.

Orthopedic Doctor may be included in the “Featured” section for various reasons, such as if the providers offers additional features like appointment booking options.

A provider’s listing in “Featured” results does not impact their MediFind expertise rating.
