How to Choose the Right Orthopedic Doctor

LinkedInFacebookInstagramXPinterestYoutube

 

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.

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide. Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish. Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park. Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone. Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
