Orthopedic Surgery

When you arrive to the orthopedic outpatient clinic, located on the 2nd floor of the Fegan building, you will first be seen at the check-in desk. There, one of our staff will verify your personal and insurance information and collect the co-pay for your visit.

You will then proceed to the waiting area. During this time you will be asked to answer questions regarding your health history. If you wish to complete these questions ahead of time you may do so by filling out the Orthopedic Health History Form.

What To Expect At Your Appointment

Once you are called into the exam room, the practice assistant will obtain your child's height, weight, and temperature and place you in one of our exam rooms. Your child may then be examined by a nurse practitioner or orthopedic resident before being seen by your physician.

If X-rays are needed, you will be sent to radiology and then return to the orthopedic clinic. If you have other X-rays or studies (such as MRI's, CT scans, and bone scans) regarding your child's visit, please bring them with you.

Please remember to obtain letters for school, gym notes, prescription refills, and other requests before you leave the office. At anytime, please do not hesitate to ask one of our staff for assistance or information.
