Are telehealth visits available with Houston orthopedics?

Question 6

What's the difference between an orthopedic and a primary care physician?

Accepted Answer

Orthopedics is a focused field: orthopedics complete extra residency and often fellowship training in that specific area of medicine, and typically see patients on referral for conditions that need deeper expertise than a primary care visit provides. A primary care physician remains your day-to-day medical home and coordinates orthopedics referrals when needed.
