Treatment Decision Support

Get guidance on the best treatment pathway from a tailored team of orthopaedic experts

The Treatment Decision Support service is designed to help patients achieve the best possible outcome in the treatment of spine, hip, knee and shoulder conditions, all from the comfort of their home and at no cost. You’ll be assigned a lead physician who will meet with you via videoconference, and they will coordinate an in-depth review of your case by a tailored team of experts that will include an orthopaedic surgeon.

Treatment Decision Support does not provide treatment. It provides access to a team of independent, leading orthopaedic experts who will provide you with evidence-based advice on the best treatment plan to remove pain and give you the best long-term quality of life.
