At Orthopedic Surgery Center of Green Bay and Orthopedic Surgery Center of the Fox Valley, we are constantly assessing the situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic in our community and following strict policies and procedures to keep our patients’, staff and doctors’ safety at the forefront.

We are also allowing one visitor at the surgery center per patient. Each patient is screened, COVID tested, and needs to self-isolate four days prior to surgery.

Telemedicine Visits

Telemedicine appointments (online meetings with our OSMS doctors) are currently available for established patients who have been seen within the last six months. Examples of telemedicine appointments include rheumatology follow up appointments or orthopedic post-op appointments. Our goal is to expand the use of telemedicine in the future.

We’ve taken steps to ensure your telemedicine appointment with your doctor is safe and secure. Each doctor will determine which appointments will qualify for telemedicine.

If you have any questions about your recently rescheduled or upcoming appointment, and if it qualifies for telemedicine, please contact our office at 920-430-8113.
