orthopedic urgent care in Leawood

Orthopedic urgent care is best for acute injuries that don’t require hospitalization. If you’ve suffered a sports injury, stepped on a curb and twisted your ankle, slipped and fell on ice, or experienced any other sudden injury that requires prompt treatment, KCOA’s orthopedic urgent care clinic is here to help.

If your injury is life or limb-threatening, you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Other injuries that require an ER visit include: 

• Severe chest pain or difficulty breathing
• Deep wounds
• Head injuries
• Injuries with exposed bone 

Orthopedic urgent care is not for everyone. We don’t see patients under the age of two, those with long-standing chronic pain, or patients who need a prescription refill. 

If you have medical issues such as a fever, flu, skin infection, or other similar problem, you’ll want to make an appointment with your primary care provider or visit an urgent care clinic focusing on primary care.

KCOA’s orthopedic urgent care has trained providers specializing in treating orthopedic injuries. If you go to the ER for an acute orthopedic injury, they will likely give you a boot and crutches and tell you to follow up with an orthopedic surgeon. This can leave you with a large bill and delay the start of your treatment.
