Frequently Asked Questions
How is Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s Orthopaedic Urgent Care different from a traditional urgent care clinic?
Florida Orthopaedic Institute Urgent Care is an extension of our regular orthopedic clinic. Most Urgent Care facilities and ERs charge higher amounts and insurance companies will charge a larger copay for traditional urgent care and emergency room visits. Since our Urgent Care is an extension of our regular clinic, the charges are same as a regular office visit in our clinic and patients pay their regular office visit copay.
Do I need to make an appointment to be seen at Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s Orthopaedic Urgent Care?
Appointments are not necessary – just walk in during the Urgent Care hours.
What are the benefits of going to Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s Orthopaedic Urgent Care versus an urgent care or emergency room?
You will be seen by Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s providers who have special training in orthopedics and a better understanding of orthopedic injuries.
