The outpatient practices are the heartbeat of the Orthopaedics Department, with over 40,000 patients seen annually. Referrals are also made from BronxCare’s Emergency Department. Dr. Ashok Dubey, Vice Chair/Director, Outpatient Orthopaedics, oversees the daily flow and management of Outpatient Orthopaedics. “We are proud of both the accessibility and quality care given to patients. The orthopedic services offered by our outpatient practices are uncommon for a hospital-based practice,” stated Dr. Dubey. Patients in the orthopedic practices can expect to have access to top quality bracing and orthotics, casting services, and a wide range of injection therapies, including long-acting cortisone (Zilretta®), as well as platelet-rich plasma, a highly effective natural anti-inflammatory approach to arthritis.
