TeleMedicine Clinic Instructions

Our clinic will be using TeleMedicine to continue care for our patients to follow the current guidelines by the WHO and CDC with regard to social distancing.

Any desktop, laptop, phone, or tablet can be used for your appointment. We will be using the ZOOM.US platform for your appointment. It is preferable that you have a camera, microphone, and speaker attached to your device. A camera is not necessary, but a microphone and speaker are required.

At your scheduled appointment day and time, please follow these instructions:

1. Open your web browser (chrome, firefox, safari, explorer)

2. Type in the web address: https://zoom.us/j/9165732595

3. A box will open to download or open the Zoom application.

• Most phones/tablets require that you download the zoom application

• If you do not wish to download or use the Zoom app, use your laptop/desktop computer to connect and click on the link “start from your browser”.

4. Once you have opened the zoom app, chose “Join with Video”. Your computer may ask for permission to use your video camera and or microphone. Please accept

5. You will then be in Dr. Panero’s “virtual waiting room”

6. When admitted into room, choose “Join with Audio”. Your computer may ask you for permission to use its microphone, please accept.

7. Please wait, we will be seeing patients one at a time. Once Dr. Panero is ready for your telemedicine appointment, he will start the video session.

Dr. Panero is extremely professional and takes the time to explain in detail his diagnosis and opinion. He is also willing to listen to your concerns and needs.(Some orthopedic doctors I’ve meet with have not been as open minded.) I really like his approach to rehab and regeneration. It is refreshing to not have a Dr. want to immediately operate or medicate you. Nice courteous staff, reasonable wait time and the office is very accessible with a parking garage. Parking fee, I paid $1 for 30 mins, cash only.

I was very happy with Dr. Panero. He took his time to listen to me and evaluate me. Then he went over all my options and answered all my questions. I am very glad I was referred to him!

Very personable and knowledgeable presenting options for the problem and then going forward from the choice made. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family! Office staff is fabulous as well.
