The practice will begin rescheduling patients who had their procedures canceled or postponed to perform their surgeries first, before tackling the remainder of the backlog.

OrthoVirginia has implemented a series of enhanced policies and procedures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The practice will screen all patients, visitors and employees for symptoms of COVID-19; use social distancing measures whenever possible; limit visitors to one per patient; and require everyone who comes into contact with another person to wear a mask.
