OrthoAccess
OrthoAccess is the name of our same-day, walk-in clinic, currently available at our Johnson City office. In the clinic you will be seen by a Physician Assistant who will be able to examine you, order x-rays, and treat you. Should a physician be needed for your problem, one is always immediately available. OrthoAccess is intended for very recent injuries, sprains or closed fractures. If you are bleeding from your injury, please proceed directly to a hospital Emergency Room. OrthoAccess is not the right place to be treated for long-term or chronic conditions, such as back pain, unless there has been a serious and very recent change to your condition. For treatment of long-term conditions, please make an appointment to see one of our physicians. Because patients may be seen in the clinic without appointments, we are not always able to predict the wait before you see the Physician Assistant. If you do not have insurance which covers your visit to the clinic, you will be asked for payment before being seen by the Physician Assistant. You can make an appointment for OrthoAccess by calling (423) 722-7347.
