When faced with an orthopedic injury, deciding between the emergency room and an urgent care clinic can be challenging. The ER may have long wait times and lack specialized care for your specific orthopedic injury. 

At LBJI urgent care locations, our orthopedic specialists are dedicated to providing you with the care you need when you need it. With no appointments necessary, you can get the specialized care you need faster. Use the chart below to guide your decision between going to the ER or LBJI urgent care.

Our specialists are focused on treating acute conditions such as fractures, sprains, strains, and dislocations. These are injuries that require immediate attention but are not life-threatening. If you are suffering from a chronic orthopedic condition, please make an appointment to see one of LBJI’s orthopedic physicians who specializes in your condition. 

If you have a head injury or concussion, chest pain, animal bite, burn, or illness, please consult your primary physician or go to the emergency room.
