Dear patients:
To protect our patients and staff during the Corona Virus pandemic, Orthopaedic Associates of South Broward (OASB) has instituted multiple safety measures:
- In certain cases, virtual visits through a computer, phone or ipad are going to be offered starting March 23, 2020. (Any nonemergent visits should be performed digitally if possible.)
- You will be asked to check in by emailing a picture of your ID and Insurance card to Info@OASB.net
- The waiting room has been eliminated. You will be asked to check in by phone by calling 954-961-3500 ext. 226 and then you will then be notified of when to enter the building.
- We are only allowing the patient entry into the building, unless the assistance of a family member is absolutely necessary.
- You will either go directly to X-ray or to your exam room.
- The healthcare provider, who will be in another room, will establish a video link with you.
- You will discuss your case with the healthcare provider through the video link.
- The provider who will be wearing a mask and gloves will come in and examine you and then leave the room.
- The provider will then finish the visit through the video link, explaining your diagnosis and providing a treatment plan. This type of visit is being performed to minimize physical contact.
- If preferred a traditional examination can be performed with “social distancing.”
- Older patients and patients with diabetes, heart disease, respiratory illnesses, and other medical conditions will be evaluated and treated during exclusive hours in the morning.
- Patients will be able to pay through our website eliminating the need to pass credit cards back and forth.
