What is Orthopedic Urgent Care?

An orthopedic urgent care clinic is for patients with orthopedic injuries or conditions that require immediate medical treatment but are not life-threatening, such as a sprained ankle. Patients who are 4 years old and above can receive expert care from an orthopedic provider in a timely, convenient setting, including free parking.
