Community Memorial Center for Orthopedics

For significant injuries, especially those involving joint instability, inability to bear weight, or suspected fracture, evaluation within 24 to 48 hours is recommended. Many sports injuries benefit from early diagnosis, which can improve outcomes and reduce recovery time.

Referral requirements vary by insurance plan. Our team can help you understand your coverage and determine next steps. Many patients can be seen at our walk-in clinic without a prior referral.

A walk-in orthopedic clinic provides convenient access to specialized care for musculoskeletal injuries and joint pain without requiring a scheduled appointment. Patients can receive an evaluation, imaging if needed, and recommendations for treatment or follow-up care from an orthopedic provider.

Please bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, and any relevant medical records or imaging studies related to your shoulder pain or injury. Wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the shoulder may also be helpful during your evaluation.

Treating a fracture doesn't end after your initial emergency visit. If you were seen in the Emergency Department or at an urgent care facility, our team can arrange a follow-up appointment to review your imaging, continue your orthopedic care, and transition you to the appropriate level of long-term treatment.
