Make an appointment with Dr. Karlstad during the Covid-19 outbreak

Options for clinic appointments for patients during Covid-19 outbreak.
Introducing VIRTUAL CLINIC appointments

In order to protect patients and our medical staff from coming into contact with coronavirus carriers during the current crisis, Twin Cities Orthopedics has decided to limit in-person clinic visits to URGENT conditions only.  We are asking you to delay scheduling in-person clinic visits for non-urgent conditions until CDC recommendations allow for such visits.  In an effort to continue to care for your non-urgent condition, we invite you to schedule a VIRTUAL APPOINTMENT  (i.e. over the internet) with us to evaluate your condition.  Although VIRTUAL appointments do have limitations, it will allow some physical examination and the opportunity to address your concerns.

Please select from the appropriate option below:
​

You have an ​urgent injury or follow up

You have a non-urgent condition and would like to schedule a VIRTUAL APPOINTMENT

​
- You need a follow up visit WHERE X-RAYS WILL BE REQUIRED to evaluate a fracture or the results of a recent surgery.
