As this situation is evolving we will update content as needed.

Face Masks and Coverings: As of 4/24/2020, Gov. Pritzker has provided the following guidelines on masking: All Illinoisans should wear a mask or face covering when they must leave their home or report to work for essential operations and they either cannot or it is impractical to maintain 6 feet of physical distance between themselves and others. IDPH guidelines can be found here.

In order to adhere to these requirements, all patients attending in-person appointments, will be required to wear a face covering upon entrance to Hinsdale Orthopaedic and IBJI facilities.

Although the CDC issued new guidance permitting vaccinated individuals to interact with other vaccinated individuals without masks in outdoor and many indoor settings, the CDC and State of Illinois still require physicians, medical staff and patients to wear masks in healthcare settings.

Our offices are OPEN to provide essential and critical care to our orthopaedic patients.

To help ALL of our patients, we are set-up and available to offer our patients Telemedicine Visits.

Telemedicine allows our Physicians and medical providers to deliver convenient care through audio and video technology in real time to you.

A Telemedicine Visit is simple to arrange. Once scheduled, you will receive a text message and email that provides you a link to login securely and access your appointment via your smart Phone, smart device, laptop or desktop computer.

If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to schedule appointments for either an office visit or a Telemedicine Visit, please call us at (630) 323-6116.
