Do not seek online urgent care for broken bones and serious injuries. These events require immediate medical attention.

Online online orthopedic urgent care visits are an accessible, affordable way to access medical care for non-severe injuries. This can help your doctor get ahead of it and craft a treatment that prevents further pain and discomfort.

In some cases, you may need to book an in-person visit for a definitive diagnosis. If follow-up imaging or a physical examination is required, your provider will tell you how to proceed. Certain orthopedic injuries can only be diagnosed via an X-ray scan. This will require a visit to a clinic or imaging lab. If an in-person or follow-up appointment is needed, your provider will discuss the next steps with you.

If you're experiencing a serious injury, like a broken bone or a life-threatening condition, call 911 immediately or visit an emergency room.

It is recommended that you prepare a list of your current medications and pre-existing health conditions before you log in to your online appointment. This will give your provider the most complete picture of your medical history prior to treatment.
