FAQ

Are PRP and stem cell injections covered by insurance?

Buckel Orthopedics states that PRP and stem cell injections are not covered by insurance, so patients should ask about the self-pay price before scheduling.

What should I look for when choosing an orthopedic surgeon?

Check whether the physician's training matches the affected joint or condition, and verify board certification. Buckel Orthopedics lists fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery and board certification by the American Osteopathic Board of Orthopedic Surgery.

Can an orthopedic evaluation include imaging during the visit?

Some offices have on-site imaging. Buckel Orthopedics lists digital X-ray and ultrasound for evaluating sports-medicine conditions, but patients should confirm whether the needed study can be performed during their appointment.

When should an injury go to the emergency department instead of a routine orthopedic visit?

Use emergency care for suspected fractures or dislocations, severe deformity, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of circulation, or sudden inability to move a limb. Less urgent pain, arthritis, and sports injuries can generally be evaluated through a scheduled orthopedic appointment.
