Expert Guidance. Wherever You Are.

Not every orthopedic concern requires an immediate in-office visit.

For active individuals, athletes and busy families, a virtual orthopedic consultation offers a convenient way to begin the evaluation process with clarity and confidence.

Dr. Brent Carlson offers secure video consultations for patients who prefer to start virtually, whether you live outside the area or simply want expert guidance before scheduling an in-person visit.

When an Initial Virtual Consultation Makes Sense

You are looking for guidance on:

  • New shoulder, knee or hip pain
  • Questions about X-rays or MRI results
  • Early discussion of orthopedic treatment options
  • Recovery or return-to-sport planning
  • Determining whether an in-person orthopedic evaluation is necessary

What to Expect

During your virtual consultation, Dr. Carlson will:

  • Review your symptoms and medical history
  • Discuss imaging such as MRI or X-rays, if available
  • Provide a clear understanding of possible diagnoses
  • Outline treatment options — surgical and non-surgical
  • Recommend next steps based on your goals and activity level

While certain conditions require a hands-on exam, many orthopedic concerns can be clarified through a focused, thoughtful virtual discussion.

A Straightforward First Step

Dr. Carlson's approach remains the same — whether in person or online:

Clear explanations.

Thorough evaluation.

Care focused on helping you return to the life you value.

In the Right Hands — wherever you are.
