The first visit includes a physical exam of the affected area, range-of-motion testing, and imaging review (bring any existing X-rays or MRI results). The orthopedist may order additional imaging. They will explain the diagnosis and discuss treatment options, starting with conservative approaches (therapy, bracing, injections) before considering surgery.
Bring your insurance card and a photo ID to every visit. Miami providers frequently ask for both due to high insurance fraud enforcement in the area. Expect paperwork in both English and Spanish.
