Orthopedic Urgent Care in Greenville
Skip the Emergency room wait with immediate orthopedic walk-in care with Dr. Ratner
When you suffer a sprain, fracture, or sports injury, the last thing you want is a four-hour wait in a crowded emergency room.
That’s why American Orthopedics now offers a dedicated Orthopedic Urgent Care Walk-In Clinic — providing fast, specialized care for acute orthopedic injuries.
Why the ER Isn’t Always the Best Option for Orthopedic Injuries
Emergency rooms are built to prioritize life-threatening conditions first. That means if you walk in with a broken wrist or a severe ankle sprain, you may wait hours behind more critical cases.
Even after the wait, many ER or general urgent care visits for orthopedic injuries end with temporary stabilization, imaging, and a referral—so you still have to schedule a specialist visit days later. That delay can mean more pain, slower recovery, and more frustration.

Meet Dr. Drew Ratner
American Orthopedics is led by Dr. Drew Ratner, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and former collegiate athlete. He founded American Orthopedics to provide a more personalized and efficient alternative to large, impersonal hospital systems.
Dr. Ratner’s expertise includes sports injuries, fracture care, joint replacement, and advanced minimally invasive techniques. He focuses on nonoperative treatment when possible—but when surgery is needed, patients benefit from continuity of care with the same trusted surgeon from evaluation through recovery.
Who Should Use Orthopedic Urgent Care?
Consider walking in if you have:
- A suspected fracture
- A swollen, unstable, or painful joint
- A sports injury
- A significant sprain or strain
- Sudden joint pain after a fall or accident
Important: If your condition is life-threatening (severe trauma, head injury, chest pain, difficulty breathing), go to the ER immediately. For common orthopedic injuries, our walk-in clinic is designed to treat you quickly and effectively.
The Benefits of Immediate Orthopedic Care
Getting specialist care early can make a real difference. It may help:
- Reduce recovery time
- Prevent complications
- Avoid unnecessary ER costs
- Speed up your return to sports, work, and daily life
