Why Choose an Orthopedic Walk-In Clinic? Everything You Need—Under One Roof Choosing to visit an orthopedic walk-in clinic can offer several distinct advantages, especially when you're dealing with an injury or condition that requires immediate attention. Let’s explore some of the key benefits that make these clinics a smart choice. 1. Immediate Access to Specialized Care One of the biggest advantages of an orthopedic walk-in clinic is the ability to see a specialist immediately—without an appointment. Instead of waiting weeks to see an orthopedic doctor, you can walk in and be treated the same day. No referrals needed – Get direct access to orthopedic specialists On-site X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans – No need to visit an imaging center Board-certified specialists available immediately – No waiting for an outside consultation 2. Avoiding Long ER Wait Times Emergency rooms are often overcrowded, with patients experiencing long wait times for non-life-threatening issues. At an orthopedic walk-in clinic, you’re likely to be seen much faster since the focus is solely on musculoskeletal issues. Plus, because these clinics aren’t dealing with life-threatening emergencies, the overall pace is often quicker and less stressful. 3. Cost-Effective Care Visiting an orthopedic walk-in clinic can also be more affordable than a trip to the ER. Emergency room visits are typically more expensive due to the wide range of services and resources they provide. In contrast, Orthopedic Specialty Now focuses on specific issues, which can help keep costs down. We accept most insurance and offer transparent pricing, so you’ll have a better idea of what to expect financially. 4. Comprehensive Treatment Options At most hospitals or urgent care centers, you may be sent to multiple locations for X-rays, MRIs, or follow-ups. At Ortho & Injury Now, everything happens under one roof—saving you time and hassle. From X-rays and MRIs to casting and splinting, you can receive a diagnosis and start treatment in one visit. This not only saves you time but also ensures you’re getting the right care from the start. 5. Same-Week Surgery If your injury requires surgery, you won’t have to wait weeks or visit multiple locations to get the care you need. At Ortho & Injury Now, surgery can be scheduled with a surgeon and performed on the same campus within the same week. We also believe in patient choice, allowing you to select your preferred care location while we coordinate with the specialist of your choice. Our priority is to connect you with the best specialist for your specific diagnosis. Immediate consultation with an orthopedic surgeon – No referral delays Pre-surgical imaging and evaluation done on-site – No running between offices Surgery performed in the same building – You’ll know exactly where to go, and we’ll coordinate everything for you This streamlined approach ensures you get the care you need as quickly and efficiently as possible—so you can start healing sooner. 6. Avoid Seeing a Surgeon Until You are Confident that Surgery is Required. Though sad... it's true that many patients receive aggressive or unnecessary advanced care (i.e. Surgery) before adequately exploring and exhausting their surgical options. When you start with OIN you will see a highly trained and experienced non-operative specialist first.
