What Are the Benefits of Visiting a Walk-In Clinic for Broken Wrists & Ankles?

No Appointment Necessary- Walk-Ins Welcome

When you suffer a broken bone, you need to visit a medical provider as soon as possible to evaluate the damage and treat the injury.  Our Quick Care clinic is designed to treat urgent medical needs on a walk-in basis, so you don’t need to make an appointment. Staffed by a team of qualified medical providers, our clinic will also be able to see and treat you quickly and efficiently.

Extended Hours

Bone fractures can happen at any hour of the day. If you break your wrist or ankle outside of your doctor’s normal business hours, waiting until the next day for treatment isn’t always ideal. Coryell Health Quick Care Walk-In Clinc offers extended and weekend hours: Monday- Friday 8 am- 8pm and Saturday from 8am-6pm.

Get Set Up with an Orthopedic Follow-up Appointment

Many times a brace is needed the first couple of days to let the swelling go down.  If following up with an orthopedic specialist is necessary, our clinic can help you make your appointment. Dr. Jacob Battle, orthopedic surgeon, works closely with urgent care to provide a seamless experience for patients with bone and joint injuries; from getting seen and diagnosed, to splinting the injury and following up with Dr. Battle and his team at his clinic in Gatesville or Waco. Dr. Battle recognizes that non-surgical care is often appropriate and will recommend conservative care first whenever possible.
