Walk-in Clinics for Orthopedic and Sports Injuries: Weekdays and Saturdays

Overland Park, Kan. — We know orthopedic and sports injuries don’t follow a schedule. That’s why The University of Kansas Health System offers walk-in care, located at our Indian Creek Campus at 10730 Nall Ave., Suite 200, in Overland Park, Kansas. We offer two walk-in clinic options to meet your needs.

• Year-round weekdays: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
• Seasonal Saturdays: 8 a.m.-11 a.m.
  August 27-November 19, 2022

You don't need an appointment for our walk-in clinic open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. Treatment is available for any acute orthopedic injury, including sports-related injuries, for those 5 years old and above. Injuries treated include:

• Bone fractures
• Dislocations
• Joint injuries
• Sprains
• Strains

Patients who have suffered open fractures, serious lacerations or finger amputations should go straight to an emergency department.

Patients at the orthopedic same-day clinic are seen without an appointment by an advanced practice provider, and follow-up appointments are scheduled as needed with orthopedic and/or sports medicine physicians and surgeons.

Fall sports sometimes lead to sports injuries. From August 27 to November 19, we offer walk-in care for sports injuries Saturday mornings from 8-11 a.m.

No appointment or referral is necessary. Patients will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis by the same sports medicine experts who care for the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals.

"There are a lot of events on Thursday and Friday and sometimes athletes can’t come in during the week,” says David Smith, MD. “Saturday morning at 8 o’clock we’re waiting for them. We have an X-ray tech, a physician and clinical staff. And we can take care of almost any injury, including concussions.”

On Saturdays, a sports medicine physician will evaluate, diagnose and treat sports injuries for middle school, high school and adult athletes, including:

• Acute sports injuries
• Bone fractures
• Concussions (Saturdays only)
• Joint injuries
• Sprains
• Strains

In addition, our sports medicine physicians will treat acute orthopedic injuries that are not sports-related. For other injuries and conditions, such as lacerations, open fractures, cast problems, chronic pain, wound care or back or neck issues, visit the emergency department or one of our other locations during regular business hours. Medication refills will be unavailable.

If needed, a follow-up appointment can be scheduled with the appropriate physician or therapist.
