Update: March 21, 2020

The health and safety of our patients, employees, and families are of the utmost importance to us. Atlanta Bone and Joint and our physicians are actively monitoring the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and paying close attention to recommendations from local/federal officials.Atlanta Bone and Joint Specialists  will continue to operate and remain open during normal business hours for our patients.  We have implemented additional precautionary measures at all patient visits to provide the safest possible environment for our patients. 

E-visits and telemedicine services will be launched on March 23, 2020.  See our link at: atlantaboneandjoint.com/evisits.html

Surgeries are being safely, for urgent or emergent cases at Emory Decatur Hospital, Piedmont West Surgery Center and Eastside Medical Centers.  We are in daily contact with the administrations of all the hospitals and will alert patients with updates as we receive them.    
We will continue to monitor the developments around the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).  As with all public health situations, we primarily rely on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration and the U.S. Office of the Surgeon General for the best information and preventive strategies.

In the event that circumstances change, we will provide updates here with alternative options in advance.  Once again, all of our locations are open to ensure you receive the highest level of care for your needs.

If you have any questions, please contact us at our Decatur, Snellville or Loganville offices as can be found on our site.

Sincerely,
