Urgent Care

Overview

Our Pediatric Orthopaedic Urgent Care Center Welcomes Walk-Ins in LA

We work with uninsured and underinsured families thanks to our generous donors.

Access to the best orthopaedic care for children is critical but often comes too late. Rather than waiting longer in an emergency room to see a general physician, walk in and see a pediatric orthopaedic specialist in just a few minutes.

At LuskinOIC’s Urgent Care Center, orthopaedic doctors and staff provide essential urgent and trauma medical care to children with broken bones and musculoskeletal injuries.

Can my child’s injury be treated at LuskinOIC’s Pediatric Orthopaedic Urgent Care?

Here is a guide to help you make the right decision on whether to bring your child to LuskinOIC urgent care, an ER, or a traditional urgent care.

Our physicians love when you ask questions. To help you understand how you can actively participate in your child’s treatment and recovery journey, here are some common questions:

• What will treatment look like for my child?
• Will my child need physical therapy?
• Will the treatment process be painful for my child? If so, how can I help with pain management?
• How might this injury impact my child in the future?
• What does follow-up care involve?
• Will this injury impact my child’s future growth or mobility in any way?
• What if the provider I want my child to see does not have any openings for several months?
• Will I still be seen if I do not have a referral?
• If my child is a return patient and we need to have X-rays taken prior to the appointment, do we go straight to outpatient radiology?
