Frequently Asked Questions
Should I go to Orthopedic Urgent Care or the ER?
Orthopedic Urgent Care is a great option for patients ages 12 and older with bone, joint, and muscle injuries that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening. This includes suspected fractures, sprains, strains, sports injuries, and other orthopedic concerns.
For severe or life-threatening injuries, including major trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, open fractures, or injuries involving the head, chest, or abdomen, please go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
Do I need to make an appointment at Proliance Puget Sound Urgent Care?
Appointments are not required, and walk-ins are welcome. We encourage patients to call our Urgent Care team at 253-722-0036 before coming in so we can help coordinate your care and get you seen as efficiently as possible.
Do patients see a surgeon during an Orthopedic Urgent Care visit?
No. Most walk-in orthopedic urgent care clinics are staffed by physician assistants, who have completed special training in orthopedics. However, there is always an orthopedic surgeon on call for more serious injuries.
What are the benefits of going to Proliance Orthopedic Urgent Care versus a traditional urgent care center or emergency room?
Our orthopedic providers are specially trained in bone, muscle, and joint injuries. Emergency rooms and general urgent care centers are staffed by doctors who are skilled at identifying and offering immediate treatment for a wide variety of conditions, but they refer patients to specialists for ongoing and follow-up treatment. In the event of an orthopedic injury, patients seeking care at a general ER/urgent care are referred to an orthopedic specialist anyway. Orthopedic urgent care clinics cut out the middleman and offer seamless specialist care. And, because your visit is an extension of an orthopedic practice, the cost is the same as a regular office visit rather than the higher cost of ER visits.
What kind of injuries can be treated at Proliance Orthopedic Urgent Care?

- Sports injuries
- Bone breaks, sprains and strains
- Fractures and dislocations
- Wrist and hand injuries
- Foot, ankle and leg injuries
- Shoulder injuries
