4 Benefits of Our Fast Track Clinic vs. the ER

After a sudden injury, rushing to the nearest emergency room is often the first instinct. Fortunately, there’s a faster, more cost-effective solution. Our Fast Track Clinic offers quick, expert care without ER wait times or high medical bills.

An orthopedic walk-in clinic is an excellent choice if you’ve recently sustained a non-life-threatening sports injury, sprain, or broken bone. Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center patients can walk in without an appointment and receive the medical care they need.

Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center serves patients at our Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada, Fast Track Clinics to provide fast, top-quality care, helping patients get the right treatment without the hassle of an ER visit.

Here’s why our Fast Track Clinic is a better choice than an ER visit for recent orthopedic injuries.

#1: Faster, more efficient care

Because emergency departments use a triage system, patients with life-threatening illnesses are given priority, and rightfully so. Unfortunately, this means that patients with non-life-threatening orthopedic injuries may have to wait hours before getting care.

Our Fast Track Clinic focuses on injuries like recent strains and sprains, which often means shorter wait times to get care.

#2: Expert orthopedic treatment from the start

Emergency rooms may treat a wide range of medical conditions, but after providing first care, you can expect them to refer orthopedic injuries to a specialist. Instead of taking the extra step, you can get prompt care from orthopedic specialists at our Fast Track Clinic.

After we evaluate your injury and determine whether X-rays are necessary, our team creates an individualized treatment plan for you.

#3: More cost-effective than ER visit

Emergency room visits are costly, particularly if imaging tests and specialist referrals are necessary. Individuals who have injuries that could have been handled elsewhere wind up with large medical bills.

When you visit our Fast Track Clinic, you receive specialist orthopedic care without the extra expenses of an ER visit.

#4: On-site imaging and direct access to specialists

If you already had X-rays taken elsewhere, simply bring them to our clinic for review. If X-rays are needed, our team can quickly order them on-site. Unlike the ER, where you might be referred elsewhere for orthopedic follow-up, our team provides comprehensive care in one location.
