Hurt Today? Call Today.

We strive to offer same-day appointments for acute orthopedic injuries: a fall, a pop, a dislocated joint, or a fracture splinted in an emergency room.One number reaches both clinics. Tell the front desk what happened and they will find the first opening with the right surgeon.This is not an urgent care. It is a direct line to a fellowship-trained surgeon when an injury should not wait weeks.
