Schedule a Virtual Appointment with Dr. Frisch

Dr. Nicholas B. Frisch is here for you by offering telemedicine services. You can have expert orthopedic care specializing in treating hip and knee patients at home. A video consult, or telemedicine, is also cost-effective and time-saving, reducing stress on the patient and family and is covered by most insurances.

Telemedicine is the use of communication technology to deliver medical expertise from one location to another for healthcare treatments. We can set up a virtual call between computers, tablets, and mobile devices.

Dr. Frisch can also review your imaging studies, MRI or radiographs remotely and help determine the right solution for improving your injury or knee or hip pain.

These visits are easy to schedule. Contact us for a telemedicine appointment .
