Council Bluffs, Iowa- Officials with Miller Orthopedic Specialists say they are now offering Telehealth options for all established patients. With COVID-19 (Coronavirus) cases on the rise, Miller Orthopedic Specialists is working hard to provide quality care while protecting their patients and staff. This would give the opportunity to better practice social distancing while still providing for patients’ orthopedic needs.

The telehealth option for established patients will allow the clinic staff and providers to interact with patients through Internet capabilities, audio and video via their tablets, phones or computers. This will help the doctors do check-ups on patients without the patient feeling as though they are being put at risk by going out. With many older patients, this is very important as it allows the patient to be seen and have their questions answered, without having to leave their home.

During a time of uncertainty, it is important that patients can feel as though they can have their orthopedic needs addressed without endangering themselves or others. It will help limit patients having to cancel their appointments by providing better access to this healthcare.

While this option is currently only available for established patients, it will still greatly increase the safety of new patients and staff. Telehealth can provide a quick, accessible and easy option for appointments, without violating social distancing.

Patients can call the Council Bluffs office 712-323-5333 or Omaha office 402-991-9958 to schedule an appointment.
