Suburban Orthopaedics Partners with HURT! To Offer Round-The-Clock Orthopedic Specialist Support

BARTLETT, Ill. - Oct. 6, 2025 - PRLog -- Suburban Orthopaedics is proud to announce a new partnership with HURT!, bringing patients in the Chicago region 24/7 access to orthopedic expertise from the convenience of their own homes. This collaboration underscores Suburban Orthopaedics' commitment to improving accessibility and ensuring patients receive the right level of care without delay.

Co-founded by Dr. Brett Miller in 2020, HURT! has quickly emerged as a trusted platform for connecting individuals in need of orthopedic care with local specialists. Available as both a mobile app and a web platform, HURT! offers a free, user-friendly experience designed to give patients peace of mind. Through real-time interactions with trained care navigators, users can receive immediate guidance on whether an inquiry receives home care, an office visit, or further evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon.

"Our mission is to ensure patients receive timely and appropriate treatments from the right specialists," said Melissa Alper, Chief Operating Officer at Suburban Orthopaedics. "The HURT! app enables us to expand our reach beyond office hours and provide patients with fast answers about their injuries. This partnership reinforces our focus on delivering a seamless patient experience and making high-quality orthopedic care more efficient and effective."

Through this partnership, patients will have access to Suburban Orthopaedics' full spectrum of care, from sports medicine to joint replacement to foot and ankle specialists. The HURT! platform provides immediate at-home treatment recommendations, guidance on whether to schedule an in-person visit, and direct referral to Suburban Orthopaedics when needed. By helping patients connect with the right physician at the right time, HURT! ensures care decisions are both informed and timely.

"Partnering with HURT! allows us to be there for our community whenever an injury happens," added Alper. "Instead of wondering if a sprain, strain, or fracture can wait, patients now have instant access to expert support that directs them to the best next step in their care."
