Orthopedic Appointment FAQs

Do I need to see my primary doctor before consulting with Dr. Cohen?

It depends on several factors, including your insurance. Some insurance companies require a referral from a primary care physician. Others allow you to contact specialists directly for appointments.

The severity of your orthopedic issue also matters. If you have an ongoing or serious orthopedic issue that interferes with your ability to perform everyday functions, promptly give us a call or send us an email.

What can I expect during my first appointment?

Your first appointment is an opportunity to review your medical history, history of injuries and symptoms you are experiencing. Diagnostic tests such as X-rays, other imaging tests or bloodwork may be performed or ordered. You may also be asked about your lifestyle and preferred activities or hobbies.

After our team has a comprehensive understanding of your health condition and your specific injury, we can create a customized treatment plan. You are encouraged to ask questions to understand your diagnosis and proposed treatment plan.

Is there anything I should bring to my first appointment?

Please bring the following items to your first appointment:

  • Photo identification
  • Your insurance information
  • A list of all prescription and over-the-counter medications you take
  • A list of known drug allergies and related symptoms
  • A list of all surgical procedure you have had

If you are under the care of another doctor for an orthopedic issue, please arrange for his or her office to send us a copy of your medical records prior to your appointment.
