Saving Time And Money

When patients walk into the clinic, they are paired with an orthopedic provider right away. They are in and out in a much quicker timeframe but with similar services they would find in an ED or urgent care facility.

And so, Pickford, along with the many patients that Bowman and his colleagues see, saved time and money by seeking treatment at the orthopedic walk in clinic.

It saved him from going to the ED and, time-wise, he spent about a half-hour here rather than the hour or more that people sometimes wait in urgent care, Bowman said. And for probably significantly less costs, as we charge for an office visit rather than a visit to the emergency department.

Weigh The Advantages And Disadvantages So You Can Be Prepared During An Emergency

After Jim Pickford fell and fractured his arm, he knew he needed help fast!

The first time I saw him, he walked in for a same-day appointment, said Eric N. Bowman, M.D., assistant professor, Sports Medicine Orthopaedic Surgery. He couldnt move his arm. Pickford had broken his humerus, a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. Bowman saw him just hours after the injury when Pickford came to the Vanderbilt Orthopaedic Injury Clinic as a walk-in. Pickford works in Kentucky during the week, making typical doctors appointments a challenge to schedule, so he was grateful to be able to receive the care he needed at his convenience.

When I saw him again, he was doing very well pain-wise, said Bowman. We did some more X-rays and everything clinically looked like he was doing well, but he needed the next stage of treatment: Moving, getting his strength back and guidance on how to do that.
