FREEHOLD, N.J., Mar 30, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute (AOSMI) is keeping its practice open and continuing to see patients with urgent and acute injuries, while following CDC recommendations for preventing exposure to the COVID-19 virus.
Additionally, it is offering telemedicine visits for patients, who can conduct the visits through their desktop computers or cellphones.

* AOSMI has cancelled all its scheduled elective surgeries and rescheduled them for a later date.
* AOSMI surgeons are still performing emergency procedures and surgeries for patients who require them.
