AAOS Personal Physician and Group Practice Web sites

Now available and free as a benefit of membership! AAOS connects you to your patients and the public with your own customized Internet Web site.

Build a practice web site that strengthens the physician - patient relationship, creates a more informed patient, and reaches out to the community.

You can personalize your web site with your photograph, educational background, board certification, focus and affiliations, office location and a map* to get there, hours of service, and insurance plans accepted. Include a personal "Message from Your Physician," describing your practice and practice style, and other information about orthopaedic care.
