Open satellite consultation clinics closer to your patients — staffed by a medical assistant, powered by AI. Every patient who can't reach you today is a surgical case you'll never know you missed.

The Bottleneck
For every 100 patients you consult, roughly 20 need surgery. But your reach is limited to however far patients are willing to drive. A patient 3 hours away has two options: make the trip, or find someone closer. Most choose the second. That's not a lost consultation — that's a potential surgical case you'll never evaluate.
And getting to the surgical decision isn't one visit. It takes follow-ups, imaging reviews, and pre-surgical evaluations over weeks. They're elective, not emergency — every long drive is another chance for the patient to drop out before you determine whether they need the OR. You don't lose one appointment. You lose the entire evaluation that would have surfaced the case.
Every follow-up is another chance to lose a surgical candidate.
Neurosurgical evaluations span weeks — imaging reviews, follow-ups, pre-surgical assessments. Each visit means another long drive for elective care. Patients stop showing up. And you'll never know which of those drop-offs was the one who needed surgery.
Your reach caps your surgical pipeline. You can only evaluate patients who come to you.
For elective consultations, distance is the deciding factor. Patients 2-3 hours away delay, defer, or find someone closer.
Every patient who drops off mid-evaluation might have been the one who needed the OR. You lose the consultation revenue and the surgical case.
The Hub & Spoke Model
Orion lets you open satellite consultation clinics in the communities your patients live in, without building out full clinical sites.
Walk into a local clinic staffed by a trained MA, avoiding long drives to the hub.
Vitals and imaging upload happen on-site while AI handles the clinical intake.
Join from your main practice to review scans and HD video in real time.
The 20% who need surgery travel to your hub — fully evaluated, fully documented, ready for the OR.
Every other consultation happens locally.

The Platform
This isn't a video call with a chat box. Every tool a neurosurgeon needs to evaluate a patient — imaging, intake, documentation — is native to the platform.
Review MRI and CT scans natively: no third-party viewer, no file transfers. Pan, zoom, and annotate in real time.
Pull up 3D spinal or cranial models side-by-side with patient imaging. Explain findings to patients in 3D during the consultation.
Clinical-grade video built for consultations. The patient sees their surgeon; the surgeon sees imaging, intake, and the patient — all in one view.
Intake forms, imaging, and notes in one place. Nothing gets lost between your hub and satellite practices.

AI Features
Orion's AI handles intake, documentation, and scheduling — so your medical assistant can focus on the patient in the room.
Clinical Intelligence
SOAP Note Generation
Orion collects the patient's full history before the consultation begins — by voice or by scanning existing records. Chief complaint, medications, surgical history, and prior imaging are captured and structured automatically.
SOAP notes generated from the consultation in under three minutes. Documentation time drops from 15 minutes to under 3.
Coordinate patient flow across your hub and satellite locations. Manage availability, route patients to the nearest open clinic, and keep your consultation calendar full.
Leaner operations. Lower overhead. More patients evaluated. More surgical cases found.
The Opportunity
Consultation revenue from the 80% who don't need surgery covers every spoke. The 20% who do need surgery are cases you'd never have found — and that's where the real growth is.
of patients need surgery. Wider geographic reach means more of those cases found.
is all it takes to staff a satellite clinic with Orion handling intake and charting.
additional surgeons needed. You consult remotely from your main practice.
don't need surgery — but still generate consultation revenue. Your spokes pay for themselves.
Opens satellite consultation clinics in Miami and Orlando. Each clinic is staffed by a medical assistant and equipped with Orion.
Patients in South Florida and Central Florida consult locally instead of driving 3+ hours to Tampa. The surgeon joins each consultation remotely, reviews imaging in real time, and documents the visit through the platform.
Consultation fees from every patient cover each spoke's costs. And the 20% who need surgery? They travel to Tampa for the procedure — already evaluated, already documented, ready for the OR. Cases this practice never would have found.
Three locations. One surgeon. Every spoke finds surgical cases that distance was hiding.
Testimonial

What surprised me most wasn't the technology - it was how little changed on my end.
Same team, same routine, yet I was suddenly available to patients I'd never have met otherwise. The growth just happened.
Common Questions
The vast majority of neurosurgery consultations are evaluative, not procedural. The clinical components that matter — imaging review, history, neurological assessment — work through the platform. Patients consistently prefer a 20-minute local visit over a 6-hour round trip.
Your EMR handles storage, not creation. Orion's AI generates the SOAP note from the consultation in under three minutes — that's 12+ minutes saved per visit, adding up to over two hours daily. The note flows into your EMR. Orion handles the work your EMR can't.
A computer with a webcam, a reliable internet connection, and access to Orion. No specialized medical equipment beyond what your MA uses for vitals. Imaging can be uploaded from any DICOM-compatible source. The platform runs in a browser — no installation required.
Most practices are up and running within two weeks. That includes MA training on the platform, configuring your consultation workflows, and setting up imaging upload. Orion's team handles onboarding end-to-end.
No. Orion focuses on the clinical and operational side — intake, imaging, video consultations, and documentation. Billing and insurance stay in your existing practice management systems. The SOAP notes and clinical records Orion generates flow into your EMR, where your billing team picks up as usual.
