*UPDATE – We are no longer offering virtual visits, as they are no longer covered by insurance*
A few weeks ago, we were asked if we had any interest in publishing a piece on how orthopedic office visits have changed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were happy to oblige, and over the weekend we were pleased to learn that our piece was published on OrthoInfo.org, a subsection of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeon’s website. You can check out our piece titled “Office Visits and Orthopaedic Care After COVID-19″by clicking here.
If you click around on that site, it’s clear that we weren’t the only orthopedic surgeon who was asked to publish a piece. There are a number of other great pieces of content that talk about orthopedic surgery and the medical landscape during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve included some of our favorite links below.

All of these articles have been penned by medical doctors, so not only are you getting expert industry content, but they are also able to speak about their real-world experiences and how their clinics and patients have been affected by COVID-19. And if you’re dealing with leg, ankle or foot pain and you’re wondering how to safely get evaluated during the pandemic, reach out to our team at Silverman Ankle & Foot. If you’re in the greater Twin Cities area, you can visit us in person at our Edina clinic where we’re working hard to ensure every patient remains safe and the risk of virus transmission remains minimal.
