Three ways to refer a patient

Pick whichever fits your workflow.

Easiest

Hand them the patient flyer

If you have referral sheets at your front desk, hand the patient flyer at discharge. They'll reach out directly.

Need flyers? Email me and I'll drop more off.

Direct

Send the patient this URL

Text or email them: gallatinorthosport.com/acl-bridge

They land on the program page with all the patient-facing details and a contact path.

Full handoff

Email me directly

Cc: me on a discharge note or send a quick email with the patient's name + brief context. I'll reach out to them within 24 hours.

What happens after referral

Standard handoff. Visibility for you.

Once a patient reaches out (or you make the introduction), the sequence is:

  1. Initial contact within 24 hours of patient inquiry
  2. Baseline assessment + criterion testing at first session
  3. Block 1 begins — foundation work, eccentric tolerance, movement quality
  4. Block transition notes sent to you with progress metrics (with patient release)
  5. Final readiness summary sent at program completion before they return to full sport

If during assessment I notice anything outside scope — pain that doesn't pattern with mechanical loading, joint effusion, neurological symptoms — they go back to you. I don't do imaging or differential diagnosis on active concerns. ACL Bridge is performance progression, not clinical intervention.

Sample block transition note

What you'd receive at each block transition:

Patient: [First name + ID]
Block transition: 1 → 2
Date: [Date]

Metrics:
• LSI (single-leg press): 84% → 91%
• Eccentric step-down: cleared
• Movement quality: clean under sub-max load

Block 2 target: [Date, ~5 weeks out]
Notes: Tolerated full Block 1 dose. No symptom flare. Cleared to advance.

For the patient

What they read when they get here.

Looking for what's next after PT? You're in the right place. ACL Bridge is the structured program designed for exactly this — when you've finished formal PT but you're not yet ready to fully return to sport.

Step one is reaching out — tell me a little about your knee, your timeline, and what sport you're trying to get back to. I'll respond within 24 hours with the right starting point.

Working with you

Communication standards.

Patient release

Patients sign a release authorizing communication between Bridge and their referring provider before any clinical info flows back to you.

No financial arrangements

No referral fees in either direction. Bridge is a professional courtesy and a structured option for your patients — not a financial relationship.

PHI handling

Any records you share are treated as PHI — encrypted storage, encrypted communication. Standard HIPAA practice.
