Telehealth
You'd be surprised at what we can accomplish with telerehab. We can discover a lot about your condition/problems from discussing your symptoms and watching you move on video. There are many tests that we can also get you to do on your own that will assist us in developing a treatment plan for you. A hands on approach isn't always necessary!
What our patients are saying:
"I was worried when the COVID crisis hit that I wouldn't be able to keep my appointments for my post-surgical and lymphedema issues. I am so glad that my care will not be delayed thanks to your telehealth visits!"
