Mercy's Orthopedics Clinic now offers walk-in orthopedic services. We evaluate and treat children (starting at age 10) and adults with orthopedic injuries that have occurred within the past two weeks without being seen by your primary care physician for this injury. This is an excellent choice if you've recently experienced a non-life threatening sports injury, sprain/strain/joint injury.
Orthopedic clinic walk-in hours are Monday - Tuesday: 8 a.m. - noon, Wednesday: 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. and Thursday - Saturday, 8 a.m. - noon. If it is after these hours, please call (314) 543-5284, as we can still offer a same-day appointment.
