Dr. Michael Greiwe, MD talks to Dr. Justin Trosclair DC on A Doctor's Perspective Podcast.

Why did an orthopedic surgeon decide to build ortholive telehealth video platform at a scalable and functional level?

It’s not the most obvious doctor specialty to be able to implement, yet a big chunk of his practice is virtual.

People get nervous going to a doctor office, some medical devices at home are fairly accurate (taking blood pressure everyday at the same time), and in many cases, the patient can be more comfortable staying at home doing a video chat - telehealth appointment.

In some areas of the country, the best doctor is 4 hours away. Should a patient be forced to drive that far for a post-op appointment that isn’t showing signs of complications?

Most doctors using ortholive actually run on time so the patient isn’t getting frustrated and the doctor can maximize the day.

Many conditions can be diagnosed with an amazing History which can be done from telehealth. Of course some conditions will still need a physical exam to discover the extent of an injury, but after an initial work up on video you can filter those who need to come in physically or not.

Would you have ordered an MRI or certain blood tests that you couldn’t do in house anyway, then why not let the patient stay home and email the orders over. Telehealth has so many practical uses, but sometimes you have to think outside the box.

Ortholive telemedicine platform even has a virtual waiting room, messaging area and ways to send files and videos. Yes, it's HIPAA compliant.

Midway we discuss an amazing SEO and marketing tactic to make your website rank higher while providing the education you planned to give the patient anyway.

Prescriptions and opioids, how do you do with telemedicine?

Ortholive is integrated with many EHR softwares so you do not have to double entry.

How important is mental resiliency in the recovery process of say shoulder surgery?

We dive into how important repetition of surgery and exams etc are to being a well trained practitioner.

One of his keys to relationship success is to carve out dinner time with the whole family. Also, leave work at work and be present with your family.
