Comprehensive Orthopedic Evaluation in Phoenix, AZ
Orthopedic consultation in Phoenix is the first and most important step toward resolving your pain. At Full Circle Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, our comprehensive orthopedic evaluation is designed to look at the whole person, not just the symptom.
We created Full Circle to go back to the days of truly taking care of people. That level of care cannot happen in the typical 5-10 minute medical visit.
Why Choose Full Circle for Your Comprehensive Orthopedic Evaluation?
We believe a comprehensive orthopedic evaluation is the most reliable way to resolve your problem. That’s why we built our practice around it, instead of rushing patients through a quick visit.
Your first comprehensive evaluation in our Phoenix office will take about an hour. On top of that, we review your records and imaging, and collaborate with other providers outside of your visit whenever needed.
Every minute spent in the office, and every hour spent on your case behind the scenes, is part of your comprehensive orthopedic evaluation.
What Happens During Your Comprehensive Orthopedic Evaluation?
Your comprehensive orthopedic evaluation at Full Circle is built around five goals:
- Unravel the root cause of your pain and discuss your personal goals
- Acknowledge your fears and concerns about your condition
- Discuss further diagnostics if needed, including imaging and lab work
- Build a treatment plan together that we both feel confident about
- Provide relieving treatment during your first visit whenever possible
This structure is what sets a true comprehensive orthopedic evaluation apart from a standard office visit, and it follows the same core principles outlined by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons for thorough patient assessment.
