PROMPT ACCESS:
Walk-in Extended Hours Clinic, 12-8p M-F, 12-6p Sat

Orthopedic Prompt Access is available to help patients avoid the long wait, redundant care, follow up delays and high cost of hospital emergency room services.  Anyone suffering from a sports or other non-life threatening orthopedic injury or condition may simply walk in without an appointment. It is not necessary to call ahead and no doctor’s referral is needed.

Local urgent care centers frequently refer patients with orthopedic conditions to Prompt Access due to the specialized nature of treating orthopedic conditions. Most services can be provided in the office, including X-ray, diagnosis, casting, splinting and bracing.

Common conditions treated during Prompt Access hours include:

• Sports and work related injuries
• Shoulder rotator cuff tears, instability
• Arm and elbow fractures, injuries and disorders
• Hand and wrist fractures, injuries and disorders
• Leg and hip fractures, injuries and disorders
• Knee fractures, injuries (ACL & meniscal tears, patellar dislocations) and disorders
• Foot and ankle fractures, injuries and disorders

If it is determined that urgent surgery is needed, an OPA surgeon will call ahead to immediately admit you to a hospital and will arrange to meet you there within minutes to perform the surgery.

Whether your condition has been developing over time or the result of a recent injury, OPA’s certified medical specialists can help. 

ORTHOPEDIC PROMPT ACCESS IT IS NOT A CERTIFIED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE AS DESCRIBED IN ALASKA STATUTE 18.08.082,084,200.
