ROC Orthopedic Urgent Care In the face of this health pandemic, it is important that healthy individuals stay out of the emergency rooms so that our emergency room physicians and health care professionals can care for those with possible corona virus infections and true medical or life threatening emergencies. During our nation’s health crisis, Richards Orthopaedic Center will have our doors open for Orthopedic or Podiatric emergencies. In addition to seeing our regularly sc...heduled patients, we will also function as a Walk-In Orthopedic Urgent Care Center. Below is a list of urgent conditions that we will see on a ‘Walk in’ basis: Broken bones or dislocated joints Ankle or wrist sprains Lacerations or Abrasions Ingrown toenails Acute open wounds or minor infections Our new orthopedic urgent care center should not impact our regularly scheduled patients. Our hours will remain the same for now, but may change in the future depending on the needs of our community in the face of the coronavirus crisis. Richards Orthopaedic Center & Sports Medicine is open Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. Please call our office with any questions. 717-414-7798
