Testimonials

Greg Golladay, MD

Orthopedic Surgeon, VCU Health

We partnered with Force because we want to offer our patients the best, most comprehensive care experience and to ensure the best outcomes for them.

Steven Schutzer, MD

Medical Director, CT Joint Replacement Institute at St Francis Hospital

I can’t say enough about the Force team. Their professionalism, positive attitude, integrity, and skill is everything I could ask for in a partnership.

James Murphy, MD

Orthopedic Surgeon, Geisinger Health

Patients are no longer a passive recipient of care. They’re an active participant. You see a decrease in cost and increase in quality simply because they’re more involved.

Vijay Rasquinha, MD

Orthopedic Surgeon, North Shore University Hospital

Over 85% of our patients get on board irrespective of their age. We have quite a few 80 year-olds who are pretty savvy. And if not, the app allows for a seamless care partner experience.

Yale Fillingham, MD

Orthopedic Surgeon, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center

Force is an all-in-one tool. It not only engages patients through recovery, but it helps solve one of the biggest challenges with research, which is getting enough patients to fill out surveys so that research is meaningful.

Christopher Cooke, MD

Orthopedic Surgeon, Detroit Medical Center

It’s important that my patients have direct communication with me. Force is an improvement to calling a clinic or hotline, and much better than a trip to the emergency room.

Mary O’Connor, MD

Director, Center for Musculoskeletal Care, Yale School of Medicine & New Haven Health

There’s only so much your physical care team can do. By embracing Force, we’re able to extend the emotional connection between visits with meaningful digital touch points.

Charles DeCook, MD

Orthopedic Surgeon, Northside Hospital

The ability to benchmark our outcomes against other institutions is fantastic. I can’t tell you how excited we are to have this information!
