Benefits of Comprehensive Orthopedic Care at The Bone and Joint Clinic
- Seamless patient experience
– The journey to recovery after
an injury or orthopedic issue
can be daunting. By housing every facet of orthopedic care under one 90,000-square-foot facility, patients can undergo a smooth transition from one phase to the next. This continuity of care ensures that every specialist, therapist and technician is on the same page, often leading to better outcomes and patient satisfaction.
- Time and cost efficiency – Traveling from one medical facility to another not only consumes a patient's time but also increases the costs associated with transport, potential additional consultation fees and time off work. By consolidating everything, The Bone and Joint Clinic helps patients save both time and money.
- Enhanced communication among medical staff – An all-encompassing facility fosters better communication between healthcare professionals. This ensures that your
physical therapist knows exactly what your surgeon did and that the post-operative care team understands any nuances or concerns from your initial diagnosis. This integrated approach can often lead to better and more personalized care.
- Access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities – Consolidated facilities, like The Bone and Joint Clinic, often feature the latest in medical technology. From
non-invasive MRIs to
advanced surgical equipment, patients have access to cutting-edge treatments that can lead to faster and more effective healing.
- Consistent and familiar environment – Being in a familiar environment can significantly reduce patient anxiety. Whether you're coming in for an
initial consultation or post-operative rehabilitation, knowing that you'll be in the same place with familiar faces and surroundings can be comforting.
- Reduced Administrative Hassles – Transferring medical records, insurance details and other documentation from one facility to another can be cumbersome and error-prone. A unified facility minimizes these administrative challenges, ensuring records are always up-to-date and accessible to every relevant professional.
