Orthopedic telemedicine from leading physicians
Exceptional alternatives to office visits
Orthopedic telemedicine, also known as orthopedic telehealth, virtual visits, virtual care or online care, allows patients to see their physicians without physically going to the office.
New or existing patients can consult, ask questions, and discuss their plan of care with their Florida Orthopaedic Institute specialist. From follow-up appointments to everyday consultations, patients can consult their doctor entirely online and from the comfort of home by using video conferencing via a computer webcam or mobile device. A patient would be required to come into the office should they need a physical exam or further diagnostic testing.
