YOUR ORTHOPEDIC CONSULTATION

In our experience, there are often appropriate tests that can be ordered before the patient comes into the office and therefore it saves them the time and expense of an office visit.
What is available in the office?
We have ultrasound and also an operating room x-ray that can be used to visualize small joints such as your hand, fingers, wrist, elbow, knee, ankle and foot.
How do we see patients?
We prefer to leverage telemedicine when possible. In our experience, there are often some appropriate tests that can be ordered before the patient comes into the office and therefore it saves the patent the time and expense of an unneeded office visit. Once Dr. Bruno has all of the necessary information, he may request to see you in person for further consultation if needed.

We regularly treat conditions such as osteoarthritis of the knee, often using viscous supplementation injections that have been proven to be helpful in about 70% of cases. Neck, shoulder, elbow and wrist conditions as well as back and all leg problems are also treated.
