What is the best and fastest way to get in touch with an orthopedics doctor ?

Here's the move: Call your local hospital, asks them who is on staff, and get the names. Then google the names and investigate their areas of specialty. Then call the ones that specialize in your area of need and see who has the soonest appointment. Also, ask friends if they know of the ones on your short list you created and get some recommendations. You can always get other opinions if you don't like the first

Ortho consult: The best resource for finding a qualified surgeon is through the ABOS, or American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. Depending on your residence you can find board certified MD trained orthopedic surgeons to treat your particular problem.
