Orthopaedics

At DouleurMD, our Orthopaedic Surgery consultations focus on evaluating patients for surgical and non-surgical solutions to bone and joint problems. Whether you’ve already had imaging done or are exploring your options after seeing another specialist, our orthopaedic surgeons provide expert second opinions and help guide treatment decisions.

During your consultation, the surgeon will review your imaging, assess your symptoms, and discuss the most appropriate course of action—whether that’s surgery, further testing, or conservative management. We take the time to explain the nature of your condition and the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision.

Our orthopaedic consultations are ideal if you’re considering surgery for conditions such as osteoarthritis, meniscus or ligament tears, rotator cuff injuries, or hip and knee replacements. We work in collaboration with hospitals and surgical centers to ensure a smooth transition if surgery is recommended.

FAQ

What happens during an orthopaedic surgery consultation?

The surgeon will review your medical history and imaging, perform a focused physical exam, and discuss your symptoms and goals. They will then outline treatment options, including whether surgery is necessary.

Do I need recent imaging for the consultation?

Yes, having recent X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans helps the surgeon make an accurate assessment. If you don’t have imaging, we can help arrange it before or after your visit.

Can I get a second opinion from your orthopaedic surgeons?

Absolutely. Many of our patients come to us for second opinions before deciding on surgery or exploring alternatives.

Will the surgeon schedule surgery during the consultation?

If surgery is recommended and you are ready to proceed, the surgeon will refer you to the appropriate hospital or surgical center. The consultation is focused on planning and decision-making, not performing procedures.

What types of surgeries do your orthopaedic consultants typically evaluate?

We evaluate patients for knee and hip replacements, ACL and meniscus repair, shoulder surgery (including rotator cuff), and other joint or trauma-related conditions.
