How ‘OAM NOW’ can fast track you from injury to health
When injuries like sprains, strains, and fractures occur, OAM NOW Urgent Orthopaedic Care helps you get care quickly, for just the cost of a specialty office visit. Our clinic is staffed by an orthopaedic Physician Assistant who is able to provide an evaluation of your orthopaedic injury, as well as begin treatment and/or provide a plan of care for your injury. If radiology or an orthotic device is necessary, OAM NOW offers onsite X-rays and fittings for many types of splints or braces.
Clinic staff also helps facilitate appointments for our MRI, specialty appointments with our physicians, and therapy appointments with our licensed therapists. Because our scale and patient volume are smaller than other urgent care clinics, OAM NOW can provide you with expert care while saving you time and money.
OAM NOW Urgent Orthopaedic Care is NOT designed to treat severe injuries and is not a 24-hour facility. If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
