The sports medicine clinic that comes to you.
Torn ACL on the field. Knee pain in the dorm. Your child limping off the pitch. A calm, competent voice says "let me take a look" — right now, not in three weeks.
Can a doctor actually diagnose
my injury through a screen?
Yes — and faster than any other option. A randomized controlled trial confirmed virtual orthopedic consultations are safe with no difference in patient outcomes vs. in-person. Here's how we compare:

What if I need surgery?
Only 3% of virtual sports medicine consults result in surgical referral. But when surgery is needed, our referral pathway gets you to the right surgeon with full case documentation already prepared — no starting from scratch.
Virtual Consult
Today, in ~4 minutes
A board-certified orthopedic surgeon reviews your injury via video. Range-of-motion tests, palpation guidance, symptom history.
Imaging Referral
Same-day digital order
If MRI or X-ray is needed, we send a digital referral to a facility within 2 miles of you. Results reviewed within 24 hours.
Physical Therapy
Digital or in-person
Personalized rehab program delivered via the Rehab app. Video-guided PT sessions with real-time form correction.
Surgical Referral
When truly needed
For ACL tears, fractures, or complex cases requiring surgery, we connect you to an in-network orthopedic surgeon — with full case notes pre-shared.
When to skip us and call 911
Telemedicine is not for emergencies. Open fractures, severe deformity, loss of sensation, or inability to bear any weight — go to the ER or call 911 immediately. We'll be here after.
Will my coach accept
a virtual clearance?
Yes. Our return-to-play documentation meets NCAA, NFHS, and club league standards. Every clearance letter is signed by a licensed orthopedic sports medicine physician, time-stamped, and delivered as a PDF within minutes of your final assessment.
