Dr. Peter Mulhern works with the elderly regularly as a general and reconstructive orthopedic surgeon. He says that, “since moving to FL in 2011 especially, I have been involved primarily with Joint Replacement surgery for hips, knees and shoulders.” Dr. Mulhern has replaced many arthritic and severely injured joints during his career and occasionally reviews social security disability paperwork for his patients. Dr. Mulhern wants to make sure that his patients can get the care they need even if it is difficult to afford. In general, Orthopaedic Surgery can be expensive and involves prolonged recovery times and the challenge these days is with the variability with insurance coverage, especially now with MediCare and ObamaCare plans and restrictions.
Peter Mulhern works with insurance reviewers to help him and his patients sort out disability coverage, insurance, and other issues that might prevent his patients from getting the care they need. For major joint replacement surgery, the costs can be prohibitive for those without assistance. Dr. Mulhern has developed a professional and caring bedside manner for his patients, especially the elderly. His priority to keep the patients first and willingness to help them in all situations has helped his reputation spread throughout his community, especially the medical community. Dr. Peter Mulhern has been helping people young and old get relief from arthritic and chronic joint pain since 1988. He has performed medical records reviews and disability reviews intermittently as a part of this practice.
