Question 1

Do I need a referral to see Dr. Stapleton?

Elite Orthopedics is actively expanding insurance participation with commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, and employer-sponsored health plans. Credentialing and contract approvals are ongoing, so participation status may change frequently. Please contact our office to verify your specific coverage.

Question 3

How soon can I get an appointment?

Accepted Answer

We offer same-day and next-day appointments for acute injuries. Routine consultations are typically available within one week. Call (681) 251-8570 to schedule.

Question 4

What should I bring to my first orthopedic visit?

Accepted Answer

Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, any existing imaging (X-rays or MRI), and a list of your current medications. Arriving 10 to 15 minutes early helps us check you in smoothly.
