Why Choose Our Orthopedic Urgent Care Providers

When you have moderate pain or a mild injury, don’t wait to seek care. Pain is a sign that something is wrong, and delaying treatment can result in further injury and worsening symptoms.

Every week, we treat hundreds of children and adults from Northeast Georgia who are 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, we specialize in bone, joint and muscle problems. Instead of seeing a provider who will probably refer to you an orthopedic specialist anyway, you can come straight to the experts.

• We can get you in and out faster than the ER. Because we only treat orthopedic problems, we know how to quickly get you the care you need. You don’t have to wait in line while others are being evaluated for myriad illnesses or injuries.
• We’ll diagnose and treat you quickly. We have on-site X-ray and orthopedic ultrasound services, as well as tools and treatments such as crutches, casting and bracing. 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 advanced or ongoing treatment, you’ll find it at Athens Orthopedic Clinic. We offer complete care for orthopedic problems, including physical therapy, nonsurgical treatments and surgery.
