Dr Ryan Stuckey, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon, Spine Surgery, Houston, TX / Patient Info / Corinavirus Information

Corinavirus Information

Our offices are OPEN to provide essential and critical care to our orthopaedic patients. To limit the spread and exposure to COVID-19, and based on guidance from the CDC and government agencies, we have put in place a limited schedule in our offices, to see patients with urgent problems.

To help ALL of our patients, we are set-up and available to offer our patients Telemedicine Visits.

Telemedicine allows our Physicians and medical providers to deliver convenient care through audio and video technology in real time to you.

A Telemedicine Visit is simple to arrange. Once scheduled, you will receive a text message and email that provides you a link to login securely and access your appointment via your smart Phone, smart device, laptop or desktop computer.

If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to schedule appointments for either an office visit or a Telemedicine Visit please call us at

  • Patients presenting with COVID-19 symptoms - fever, cough and/or shortness of breath - will be rescheduled per CDC guidelines and their referring MD will be notified.
  • Those Patients who fall into a “high risk” category, including patients who have travelled to known COVID-19 “hotspots”, even if they are asymptomatic, will be asked to reschedule their appointment 14 days from the date of their current appointment.
  • Out of an abundance of caution, Ryan Stuckey, MD will be recommending that patients over the age of 65, as well as patients with known immunocompromised conditions such as Cancer and Diabetes, consider rescheduling their appointments as well.
