Is this serious?
Will it get better on its own, or do I need to see someone?
Our story
A better way to access orthopedic care
Expert orthopedic guidance should be easier to reach. So we built a virtual-first practice around the clinicians you'd want in your corner.
Curbside founders Dr. Ken Montgomery and Chihao Tsui, PA-C have spent the last 15 years working together to materially improve orthopedic care.
The problem
When something hurts, the hardest part is knowing what to do next
Curbside was created to get you the answers you need.
Who should I see?
The ER? Urgent care? An orthopedic surgeon? Who are the best doctors by me?
How long will I have to wait?
Will I be okay if the next available appointment is weeks away?
Why we created Curbside
It started with a question we'd already been answering for years
For more than fifteen years, Ken and Chi worked orthopedics side by side — on the sideline, in the clinic, and in the operating room. Along the way they did what colleagues do: they pulled each other aside for a quick, expert read on a case. A curbside consult.
They kept noticing the same gap. The patients who most needed that kind of quick, informed guidance were the ones least able to reach it — waiting weeks for an appointment to answer a question that a short conversation with an orthopedic expert could resolve.
The most useful thing they did for each other was the one thing patients could never get. Curbside exists to give it to them.
Curbside is that idea made real: a virtual-first orthopedic practice that puts an experienced clinician on the other end of a video visit, so patients can understand their problem and move forward sooner.
