Did you know if you ever require care in the emergency room for an orthopedic concern, you have the right to request to see your established orthopedic physician?
While the emergency room team will work to provide prompt and appropriate care, they must also make every reasonable effort to contact and involve your orthopedic doctor when requested and available.
We encourage you to inform the emergency room staff of your preference and provide the name of your orthopedic physician (Dr. Dueland or Dr. Gomez) at the time of your visit. This can help facilitate continuity of care and ensure your treatment aligns with your ongoing orthopedic management.
