OrthoNOW is a walk-in care clinic that treats broken bones, sprains, cuts, sports, and workers’ compensation injuries. No appointment is necessary. OrthoNOW has an in-house digital X-ray, MRI, on-site operating rooms, provides follow up care, and rehabilitation.
OrthoNOW is the result of the growing need for more options. Before OrthoNOW, the only choice was the emergency room or urgent care where the wait can be up to 6 hours or more. Only to be referred back to a specialist, likely at OrthoNOW.
Another benefit for patients is that OrthoNOW walk-in center charges the same co-payment as a doctor’s office, which is cheaper than a visit to an emergency room or urgent care center. This is also appealing to insurers.
OrthoNOW is located at 3650 NW 82 Avenue, Suite 201, Doral, behind Johnny Carino’s Grill. OrthoNOW is in the heart of Miami-Dade County with easy access from the Palmetto (826), Dolphin (836) expressways, and the Turnpike. Currently it’s open Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with plans to open weekends and offer extended hours in the future.
