The smarter way to treat orthopedic injuries
University Hospitals’ network of nine adult ortho injury clinics delivers same‑day specialist care for sprains, strains, fractures, and more—without the hassle or cost of an ER visit.
University Hospitals’ ortho injury clinics provide walk‑in access to evaluation and treatment for broken bones, sprains, strains, dislocations, and sports injuries—no appointment needed.
When an unexpected injury happens—a rolled ankle on the driveway, a hard fall on the ice, or a wrenching shoulder twist during weekend projects—most people think “ER.” But for non‑life‑threatening orthopedic injuries, there’s a better first stop: University Hospitals ortho injury clinics, a growing network of nine adult walk‑in locations across Northeast Ohio (no appointment required). These clinics are designed to get you in front of the right specialists fast, so you leave with answers—not more questions.
Immediate Access to Specialists
At UH Ortho Injury Clinics, you can walk in for same‑day evaluation and treatment of common injuries like broken bones, sprains, strains, dislocations, joint injuries, tendon issues and sports‑related pain. Rather than waiting in an ER or seeing a generalist first, patients are evaluated by trained orthopedic specialists from the start.
Sideline‑Level Standard of Care
For Dr. James E. Voos, chair of the department of orthopedic surgery at UH and head team physician for the Cleveland Browns—the goal is simple: deliver the same caliber of orthopedic care to families across Northeast Ohio that professional athletes receive on game day. UH’s ortho injury clinics were developed with that mindset, offering quick access to specialists and evidence-based treatment for injuries of all kinds.
“On Sundays with the Browns, our job is to deliver precise, immediate orthopedic care on the sidelines. UH ortho injury clinics extend that same urgency and expertise to your neighborhood—so kids, parents and athletes of any level can get back to what they love,”says Dr. Voos.
Smarter Than the ER
Emergency rooms are critical for life‑threatening situations. But for injuries like sprains, strains, and suspected fractures, UH ortho injury clinics offer shorter waits, lower costs, and more focused orthopedic care.
“Families appreciate they can walk in and see an expert the same day an injury happens,” says Harkeet Sandhu, MD, part of the ortho injury clinic team at UH/Center for Orthopedics at Amherst and Sheffield Village. “By focusing exclusively on orthopedic trauma, we can get you back to your life much faster than a standard urgent care or ER could.”
Convenient Hours, Close to Home
UH Ortho Injury Clinics operate weekday business hours—commonly 8 or 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. With nine clinics across Northeast Ohio, residents can access expert orthopedic care without traveling far.
The Bottom Line
With a network of nine adult Ortho injury clinics, pediatric options, walk‑in convenience, and the same orthopedic expertise trusted by professional athletes, University Hospitals offers a smarter, faster first stop for most orthopedic injuries—helping people get back to what matters most.
