Orthopedic Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon. Engineer. Edmonds, Washington
NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has spent 520 days in space, so he knows a thing or two about social distancing. Let’s hear what tips he has for us in the era of COVID-19.
As many of you know, physical therapy offices are temporarily closed around the state due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This has left many patients, who recently had surgery, without the therapy that they need. I have made my rehab protocols available on my website here for patients to follow along on a week to week basis. I will continue to see my recent post operative patients in clinic and encourage them to follow-up with me by phone at 425 – 412 – 1875 or send me a message through the Epic MyChart.
I want to give everyone an update of the situation involving COVID-19 in our clinic. We have canceled all non-emergent or non-urgent surgeries until June 1. We’ve also canceled all non-urgent or emergent orthopedic clinic visits at the Everett clinic. Our Edmonds and Smokey Point locations are temporarily closed. We will be seeing patients in our Everett location daily. We are also trying to implement possible virtual video visits. I will keep you updated with any new information. If you have questions or have an urgent or emergent orthopedic issue, please call our clinic at 425-412-1875.
