Benefits of Florida Orthopaedic Institute urgent care

Get specialized treatment for non-life-threatening sudden orthopedic pain or injury at our orthopedic urgent care facilities.

  • Lower cost: In many cases, urgent care is a quicker and less expensive alternative to a hospital emergency room.

Frequently asked questions

“After three days of excruciating pain in my hip and lower back, I went to the emergency room. Sat in the waiting room for four and one half hours. I got a referral to Dr. Reza Alavi. Within thirty minutes of taking X-rays he knew what my problem was. He gave me a cortisone injection which eased the pain.” Patient | Spine Pain
