Walk-in Orthopedic and Sports Injury Care

Get all the care your athlete needs at the Akron Children’s Health Center in Boston Heights or the Urgent Care in Medina/Montrose.

When should I choose walk-in care instead of making an appointment?
Walk-in care is best for unexpected injuries including knee pain, swelling, sprains and fractures.

If your athlete’s injury is minor and not too painful, you can schedule a Sports Health appointment. Call 330-543-2778 seven days a week, and we’ll schedule you with a sports medicine or orthopedic specialist.

What is the age range of athletes seen for walk-in injury care?
We will see patients with orthopedic and sports-related injuries up to age 26.

What if we need follow-up care after the walk-in visit?
Your athlete will receive priority scheduling for any follow-up care with Akron Children’s Sports Medicine, Sports Rehab or Orthopedics. We will schedule the appointments before you leave.

Who cares for walk-in patients?
We have a team of sports medicine and orthopedic providers who care for patients with sports or orthopedic injuries.

Will insurance cover the walk-in care?
If you have any questions about your coverage, please check with your health insurance provider.
