Visits to medical appointments can be confusing, elicit anxiety and at times you may end with more questions leaving than when you entered. Whether it’s sitting in your car, staring at the list of questions you wrote down and forgot to ask, or not being able to remember what the doctor told you was performed after your first surgery, communication and access to your health information is very important to improve your experience with the healthcare system.
Foundry Orthopedics provides both Physical Therapy and Hand/Occupational Therapy under the same roof as the Foundry physicians. While this model is not unique to Foundry, it is one that allows us to bring you streamlined and comprehensive patient care and as well as open forums of communication between your healthcare providers to ensure your best outcome. Pre-surgery, post surgery, or just a check-up, there are many advantages of multidisciplinary providers in one location.
When your doctor refers you to therapy, you are entitled to choose your rehab location, and there are many from which to choose. Here are a few reasons many of our patients enjoy their comprehensive orthopedic care all under one roof.
Can’t remember or don’t understand your operation? Don’t know if you can put weight on your leg? When you’ve had surgery at Foundry, rest assured your therapist knows and understands your surgical procedure and how it was specifically tailored to you. Your therapist’s access to your medical records, surgical procedure and operative photos allows them to be as prepared as possible for your case. Awareness to the intricacies of each procedure will allow your rehab expert to educate you on the specific restrictions and precautions you may face, as well as have a thorough understanding of your expected outcomes.
Do you have a follow up visit with your doctor? Can’t remember when it is? Let us check! Worried about your progress and want your doctor to know before your next visit? Your doctor is very accessible to your therapist, and their communications are frequent. It is important to feel confident that your physician and therapist are working together to ensure your best results.
