How to Choose the Right Orthopedic Doctor

May 2, 2016

 

It’s important to feel confident about your choice of doctor. This is especially true when seeking treatment after a car accident. Choosing an orthopedic doctor is a critical decision because you’re working with a specialist plays a key role in your recovery. Here are some helpful tips for choosing the right Atlanta orthopedic doctor.

Choose an Orthopedic Doctor with Relevant Experience

The level of experience that an orthopedic specialist has is an important factor to consider. Orthopedic doctors typically have an area they specialize in within their field. You want to make sure that their experience and skill lies in the area that you need. For instance, if they specialize in knee replacements and your injury is related to a car accident, then you may want to find a different doctor. If they’re not familiar dealing with car accident injuries, you might not get the care that you need.

Consider the Course of Treatment After a Car Accident

Another important factor in choosing an orthopedist is their philosophy on treating car accident injuries. Orthopedic doctors generally fit into two camps. The first would like to march you right into surgery as soon as possible. On the other side of the coin, you have specialists that prefer to leave surgery as a last option. This school of thought uses effective physical therapy to strengthen areas around joints in order to reduce inflammation and pain. Physical therapy expedites healing while minimizing the risks associated with surgery.

Look for Comprehensive and Convenient Care

No matter which orthopedic specialist you choose, you will benefit when rehabilitation and recovery are facilitated under one roof. Although you could go elsewhere for physical therapy, you will receive better treatment when the orthopedic specialist is involved with an in-house team of physical therapists and chiropractors. This approach ensures communication between medical professionals about your individualized treatment plan. Additionally, when rehab and recovery are housed in the same place you won’t waste time traveling to multiple locations.
