Mercy Orthopedics Walk-in Care - Southfork
South County Orthopedic Walk-In Clinic
Mercy's Orthopedics Clinic in South County now offers walk-in orthopedic services. We evaluate and treat children (starting at age 10) and adults with orthopedic injuries that have occurred within the past two weeks without being seen by your primary care physician for this injury. This is an excellent choice if you've recently experienced a non-life threatening sports injury, sprain/strain/joint injury.
Please check online for available appointment times. If you are unable to find a time that suits your needs, please call us at 314-543-5284.
