Prompt Care
|
Considering an emergency room visit? Orthopaedic injuries are common, painful, and don't always occur during regular business hours. Our facility at the Ambulatory Care Center is available on a walk-in basis for emergency orthopaedic injuries (sprains, broken bones, torn muscles, etc.). UNC Prompt Care is staffed with doctors and nurse practitioners so we can provide the same excellent level of expertise UNC Orthopaedics brings to all its patients.
Our expanded hours of operation ensure that our orthopaedic specialists are available when you need them:
Monday - Thursday: 8:00am - 8:00 pm
Friday: 8:00am - 5:00 pm
Saturday: 9:00am - 12:00 pm

Patients should consider Prompt Care for any acute orthopaedic injury or condition for which they would consider going to an urgent care, an orthopaedist's office or an emergency department. The condition could involve the joints, back or extremities, including sprains, strains and any injury to the arms or legs. As a walk-in facility, however, Prompt Care is intended only for people who can be transported by regular automobile, NOT by ambulance, stretcher, etc.
