Patients experiencing orthopedic injuries can be seen faster with Mercy Southeast’s newest walk-in service.
Orthopedic walk-in care is a specialized service of Mercy Clinic Orthopedics and Sports Medicine – 650 S. Mount Auburn in Suite 101 in Cape Girardeau. The new service provides immediate diagnoses and treatment for new or acute musculoskeletal issues that occurred within the last two weeks, such as:
- New, sudden injuries
- Bone fractures
- Muscle strains
- Joint sprains
- Swollen joints
- New injuries in need of a diagnosis
Patients ages 10 and older will benefit from receiving immediate attention without having to wait for an appointment, significantly improving injury recovery times. Patients can also visit the new clinic without a referral from their primary care physician.
Mercy’s board-certified orthopedic and sports medicine specialists have expertise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of orthopedic injuries. A team of doctors, nurse practitioners and certified athletic trainers will serve patients in the new clinic.
"We're very excited about our new walk-in orthopedic clinic option,” Andrew Lawrence, MD, Mercy sports medicine specialist, said. “If you or a loved one gets laid up by an unexpected injury or trauma, you won't have to wait to get started on your road to recovery. Our team of orthopedic and sports medicine specialists will have you back to the activities you enjoy with the expertise and compassion you have come to know and expect from Mercy Southeast."
