“Providing specialized orthopedic care post injury for student athletes will provide convenience and peace of mind to our local athletic communities. We have already been in touch with local ISD trainers, but we also anticipate word of mouth to spread as parents learn about the quick access care for injuries such as sprains, strains, fractures, and concussions. By offering this service on Saturdays, we aim to reduce the need for emergency room visits and ensure that local athletes receive the best care possible in a timely manner,” said Dr. Jacob Battle, Board certified orthopedic and sport medicine specialist.
Once the patients are accessed, they will be treated right there at the Saturday clinic or scheduled for advanced diagnostic testing, such as MRI or CT scan, and receive rapid appointments for specialty care referrals, if necessary,” said Kristin Hill, APRN FNP-C RNFA, orthopedic specialist.
Appointments are not necessary, as we will be seeing patients on a first-come, first-served basis. However, if parents would like to schedule an appointment on a different date for their child, please feel free to contact us at (254) 865-2166.
