Can You Treat My Injury?
Some 99% of musculoskeletal injuries, from joint pain to a shoulder injury to a broken bone, are appropriate for visits to Summit’s Orthopedic Urgent Care. But there are certain instances when the emergency room or a nonspecialized urgent care provides a better choice, and we want you to be educated about what those are so you can make the right decision for your care.
