Before orthopaedic immediate care existed, you would be forced to either wait up to several weeks for a new patient physician appointment or go to the emergency room, costing you up to several thousand dollars for a single visit.

When an injury occurs, it’s imperative that it be treated right away. Orthopaedic immediate care saves you not only time by allowing you to be treated immediately, but it also saves you a great deal of money.

Orthopaedic Immediate Care When an Injury Occurs

Orthopaedic immediate care provides specialist care for acute orthopaedic injuries through a walk-in clinic.

Seeing an Orthopedic Specialist at the time of your injury provides for timely and cost-effective diagnosis and definitive treatment of your acute orthopaedic injury without the need for long emergency room waits or secondary specialist referrals. 

Did you know the average ER visit costs over $1700?
