Orthopedic Surgeon / Doctor Visit (New Patient)

An orthopedic surgeon/doctor office visit for a new patient is a first-time visit with an orthopedic doctor. Orthopedics is a specialty concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic doctors use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders. A new-patient office visit is needed if you have never seen this doctor and would be new to the practice, or it has been over 3 years since you last saw this doctor.
