OrthoArizona’s Response to COVID-19 as of March 1, 2022
Dear OrthoArizona Patients,
Thank you for your understanding and for helping to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all OrthoArizona patients and staff.
Effective March 1, 2022: After reviewing the updated CDC guidelines regarding COVID-19, OrthoArizona will be ending the mask requirements effective March 1, 2022. All employees and/or patients that prefer to wear a mask are encouraged to wear them. Please note that we will still be conducting COVID-19 screening questions for patients before their appointments. OrthoArizona will continue to offer telemedicine appointments, especially to those who have COVID-19 related symptoms and/or have recently tested positive for COVID-19. They may schedule a Telemedicine appointment or change their in-office appointment to Telemedicine. Otherwise, the appointment will need to be canceled and rescheduled.

OrthoArizona was founded on quality and for this reason, we cannot express enough that we are doing this for everyone’s safety and well-being. Our patient’s health has always come first and we are grateful for each one of you. We continue our rigorous cleaning and screening process for those patients coming in for urgent appointments. If you still have an in-person appointment and start to experience any symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, please call us to reschedule your appointment. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during these unprecedented times.
Telemedicine Appointments
As an alternative to in-office visits and to limit the number of patients in our offices, we offer Telemedicine appointments. You can complete these appointments from the comfort and safety of your own home via your computer or mobile device yet still receive the excellent quality and care our providers continually deliver. For more information on telemedicine appointments, please call 602.648.5444 or email us at referrals@orthoarizona.org. Our organization uses Doxy.me for Telemedicine appointments. To see if your system is compatible, especially before your Telemedicine appointment, try the Doxy.me Pre Call Test which tests your video, audio, and microphone: https://doxy.me/precall-test
