Covid-19 Update

American Hip Institute & Orthopedic Specialists, in unison with the CDC and other governmental agencies, is committed to providing our patients with the highest quality care while supporting social distancing and protective measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The health and safety of our patients, employees and their families is our highest priority.

Elective Surgeries

We have been following federal and state guidelines regarding elective surgeries as the COVID-19 crisis continues. The following measures are in place to ensure the safety of our patients:

  • All American Hip Institute & Orthopedic Specialists patients are required to have COVID19 testing within 72 hours prior to surgery and then self-isolate until the day of surgery.
  • The operating room airflow ventilation is as per CDC recommendations to clear any potential viral particles.
  • Family / friends will be asked to stay outside of facility during surgical procedures to limit inside exposure.

Telehealth Visits

Telehealth visits allow a patient to be cared for by our physicians and providers through video and audio technology and are available for our clinic patients as well as our physical therapy patients. These visits are easy to schedule. Just call our regular office number at 833-872-4477 to set one up. You will then receive an email or text with a link that you can utilize from either a computer, smart phone or tablet.

Mask Requirements

The state of Illinois requires masks to be worn in high-risk settings, including hospitals, health care facilities, and long-term care facilities. We, therefore, are requiring all patients to wear one upon entering the office.

Safety Screenings

We are asking our patients NOT to present to our office if you are feeling unwell, have a fever, cough, shortness of breath or have come in contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 virus. Please contact us to reschedule your appointment. We will also be screening all patients upon entry and are asking that patients over age 18 do not bring a visitor with them into our suite.

Extra Precautionary Measures

Sanitizing and keeping our clinic clean is always top of mind with our team; however, we are being extra vigilant during this time and wiping down surfaces more frequently. Our team is expediting the movement from the waiting rooms to the exam rooms to limit the amount of time in this area.

We Appreciate your Cooperation and Understanding

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we join forces for the protection of our patients and staff. We hope you have extra confidence in American Hip Institute & Orthopedic Specialists as we expand our health and safety measures during this time while continuing to provide care to our patients.

The COVID-19 situation is fluid and we will be updating this page as the situation continues to evolve.
