Options for clinic appointments for ESTABLISHED 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.

Unfortunately, state government rules do not allow Virtual Clinic appointments for patients on MN Medicaid or WI Medicaid.  Medicare does allow these visits

Please select from the appropriate option below:
​

You have an ​acute urgent injury

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

You have an issue that does not require an appointment

You are doing well following and want to tell us you are doing well instead of coming in for an evaluation
