At Dr. Gregory Said Jasey's practice, the focus is on partnering with you to restore function, alleviate pain, and help you return to your desired activities. Dr. Jasey frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Jasey about a sports injury that needs surgery to repair a torn ligament or tendon is to attain correction of a deformity (e.g., bunion, scoliosis, clubfoot). This success not only improves musculoskeletal health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like typing, writing, or using tools without hand or wrist pain.
• Dr. Jasey understands that dealing with a bunion on their foot that's causing a lot of pain can be challenging.

Do I typically need a referral to see an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Jasey?

In Ontario, a referral from a family doctor (GP) or another specialist (e.g., sports medicine physician, rheumatologist) is generally required to see an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Jasey for consultations and potential surgical treatments covered by provincial health plans like the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). This referral ensures the consultation is appropriate and that Dr. Jasey has the necessary background medical information. If you believe you need an orthopedic surgical assessment, speak with your primary care physician or referring doctor.

How does Dr. Jasey treat broken bones (fractures)?

Orthopedic Surgeons like Dr. Jasey are experts in treating all types of bone fractures. Treatment depends on the fracture's type, severity, location, and the patient's overall health. Non-surgical treatment might involve realigning the bone (reduction) and immobilizing it with a cast, splint, or brace. Surgical treatment may be necessary for complex fractures, open fractures, or fractures unlikely to heal well with casting. Surgical options include internal fixation (plates, screws, rods, or pins) or external fixation (a frame outside the body connected to pins in the bone). Dr. Jasey determines the most appropriate treatment to ensure correct bone healing and restored function.

Are services provided by an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Jasey covered by provincial health insurance (e.g., Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP))?

Most physician consultations, medically necessary assessments, and approved surgical procedures by a registered Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Jasey are typically covered by provincial health plans such as OHIP in Ontario, provided the patient has a valid health card and appropriate referral. Diagnostic imaging is usually covered. However, some items like certain braces, custom orthotics, or advanced biologic injections may not be fully covered or may have associated fees. Inquire with the clinic about potential out-of-pocket costs and check with your private insurance regarding coverage for adjunctive therapies or devices.

How long is the recovery time after orthopedic surgery with Dr. Jasey?

Recovery time varies greatly depending on the surgery type (e.g., arthroscopy vs. joint replacement), the joint or bone involved, the patient's age and health, and their adherence to the post-operative rehabilitation plan. Minor procedures may have a recovery of a few weeks, while major surgeries like total joint replacements can take several months for full recovery. Dr. Jasey will discuss the expected recovery timeline during the pre-operative consultation.

What is joint replacement surgery, and when might Dr. Jasey recommend it?

Joint replacement surgery, or arthroplasty, replaces damaged or arthritic parts of a joint (hip, knee, or shoulder) with artificial components (prostheses). Dr. Jasey might recommend it if a patient has severe joint pain and loss of function due to advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or significant injury, and non-surgical treatments are inadequate. The goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.

What can I expect at my first orthopedic consultation with Dr. Jasey at the clinic?

The first visit involves a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment. This includes a detailed discussion of your medical history, the problem, how it started, what makes it better or worse, and its impact on daily life. Dr. Jasey will review previous treatments and perform a physical examination, assessing range of motion, strength, stability, and tenderness. Any prior imaging will be reviewed. Based on this, Dr. Jasey will discuss diagnostic impressions, may recommend further investigations, and outline potential treatment options (surgical and non-surgical), working with you to establish goals.
