Why Choose Orthopedic Urgent Care

Don't wait to seek care when you have moderate pain or a mild injury. Pain is a sign that something is wrong, and delaying treatment can result in further injury.

Every week, we treat hundreds of children and adults from Northeast Georgia looking for prompt, personalized orthopedic care. People trust our urgent care providers because:

• ‍‍‍Orthopedics is all we do. Unlike traditional urgent care centers and ERs staffed by general practitioners, our team of specialists in bone, joint and muscle problems work together to get you the care you need quickly. Instead of seeing a provider who will likely refer you to an orthopedic specialist anyway, you have a clear path to care by coming straight to the experts.‍
• We can get you in and out faster. Because we only treat orthopedic problems, we know how to bring you the care you need quickly. You don't have to wait in line while others are evaluated for illnesses or injuries.

Instead of having tomake another appointment at a different clinic, we have on-site X-ray and orthopedic ultrasound services and tools and treatments such as crutches, casting and bracing right on-site. We also offer CT and MRI at our imaging centers in Athens and Loganville.
• We can refer you for additional care. If your pain or injury needs more treatment, you'll find it at Athens Orthopedic Clinic. We offer complete care for orthopedic problems, including physical therapy, nonsurgical treatments, and surgery. Our cross-functional, collaborative approach to care ensures you get to see the right team at the right time.
