Virtual Health Telemedicine

Monday, April 27, 2020

Specialty Orthopedic Group IS OPEN and operating based on the most readily available information provided by the CDC and Mississippi State Department of Health.

Specialty Orthopedic Group clinics and physical therapy are now offering virtual health telemedicine to patients during this novel COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual health telemedicine allows our physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistant, and physical therapists to virtually serve our patients through electronic communication, such as FaceTime or a phone call, without an in-person visit. Note that we cannot use Facebook Live or other similar public-facing communication applications.

To schedule an appointment with SOG’s clinic providers, please call (662) 767-4200 or use the “Request Appt” feature on our website. Our team will assess your needs and schedule an appointment for either a virtual health telemedicine visit or an in-person visit. Patients interested in physical therapy virtual visits, please call (662) 432-1523.

Walk-in urgent care patients are welcome at both Tupelo and Oxford clinics. In an effort to provide you with the safest accommodations while also relieving our local ERs of urgent orthopedic medical needs, please know Specialty Orthopedic Group is here to serve you. Call us at (662) 767-4200 and let us know you’re on the way.

Specialty Orthopedic Group is navigating these unchartered issues as swiftly and professionally as possible, and we appreciate your assistance and understanding as we serve our patients to protect your, and our, health and safety.
