Twin Cities Orthopedics Maple Grove Walk-In Clinic is a Great Alternative to the ER
If you have an acute orthopedic injury, think twice about visiting the ER. Starting with a specialist first will save you time and money.
Golden Valley, MN - March 12, 2015 - www.tcomn.com - Twin Cities Orthopedics, the largest orthopedic group in Minnesota, is now offering five walk-in clinics around the Minneapolis St. Paul metro for urgent orthopedic acute injuries.
The ACCESS walk-in clinics are open daily 8 am - 8 pm and are intended for unexpected injuries, such as bone fractures, strains and sprains of muscles and ligaments.
“Visiting one of our walk-in clinics will typically cost you less than going to an ER,” says Troy Simonson, CEO, Twin Cities Orthopedics. “What’s more, you will receive specialized orthopedic care that you simply may not find at the ER.”
Orthopedic specialty providers have advanced training and expertise to treat these types of injuries. “Specialists understand that certain injuries should be x-rayed in a specific way,” says Dr. Arthur, a physician at Twin Cities Orthopedics. “For example, with an ankle or foot injury, the x-ray should be taken weight-bearing for a better view of the fracture.”
“There seems to be a myth that visiting a specialist first will end up costing you more,” says Simonson. “Actually, the cost is more than financial. Not seeing a specialist first may end up being costly for your speed of recovery. We offer a better continuum of care with early diagnosis and appropriate follow-up – at less cost to the patient.”

TCO ACCESS walk-in clinics are open 8 am - 8pm, 7 days a week, in Burnsville, Coon Rapids, Edina, Maple Grove and Waconia.
