Telemedicine

When Charlottesville Orthopaedic Center first opened, we became the first orthopaedic office in Charlottesville to offer digital x-ray and electronic medical records. We have prided ourselves with staying on the forefront of not just offering the latest in orthopaedic treatment options, but the technologies to deliver that treatment. In keeping with that tradition, we are now offering telemedicine visits for our patients.

Telemedicine is the use of various types of technology in order to provide real-time healthcare to patients who are not physically in the office. Using various forms of communication we are able to meet with you, diagnose your condition and together come up with a treatment plan that will meet your needs. You get the same high quality medical care as an in-office visit but with the convenience of a visit at your home or location of choice.
