About orthopedic walk-in care
The orthopedic walk-in care clinic is open all year round but is closed on holidays observed by the health system. Patients will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis. No appointment needed.
Patients are seen by an advanced practice provider, and follow-up appointments are scheduled as needed with orthopedic and/or sports medicine physicians and surgeons.
Orthopedic walk-in care services
We treat any acute orthopedic injury, including sports-related injuries, for those 5 years old and above. That includes:
- Bone fractures
- Dislocations
- Joint injuries
- Sprains
- Strains
Patients who have open fractures, serious lacerations or finger amputations should go straight to an emergency department. Chronic pain, wound care and back or neck issues can be addressed at one of our other locations during regular business hours. Also note that medication refills are not available at our orthopedic walk-in care.
We offer a variety of appointment types. Learn more or call 913-588-1227 to schedule now.
Fall Saturday morning sports medicine walk-in care
Fall sports sometimes lead to sports injuries. From Labor Day to Thanksgiving, we offer walk-in care for sports injuries and sport-related concussions at 10730 Nall Ave., Suite 200, Overland Park, KS on Saturday mornings from 8-11 a.m.
No appointment or referral is necessary. Patients will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis by the same sports medicine experts who care for the Kansas City Chiefs, Royals and Current. The clinic is staffed with an X-ray technician, sports medicine physician and clinical staff at these times to evaluate, diagnose and treat sports injuries for middle school, high school and adult athletes.
In addition, our sports medicine physicians will treat acute orthopedic injuries, like sprains, strains and dislocations, that are not sports-related. If needed, a follow-up appointment can be scheduled with the appropriate physician or therapist.
When sports medicine walk-in care isn’t open, patients with a sports injury will be seen by the experts at the orthopedic same-day care clinic. However, please note that sport-related concussions are only seen between 8-11 a.m. at the fall Saturday morning sports medicine clinic.
Dr. David Smith: We started years ago thinking about the concept of "We got to be available for athletes almost all the time," and a lot of events occur on Friday night. Football games obviously, but we have other events that occur Thursday, Friday. And sometimes these young athletes can't get into our office during the week, or their parents are working, can't bring them to us. So we opened up a Saturday morning injury clinic, is what we call it. It's a walk-in clinic. You do not need an appointment. The goal is to take care of the athletes, or those that are exercising, not just a general clinic.
