Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center has introduced a new clinic, Emory Ortho Now, to improve access to care for patients with sudden orthopaedic and sports-related injuries. The clinic is located at the Brookhaven facility in Atlanta and offers walk-in appointments on Saturdays and weeknights, beginning in October 2025.

The clinic is designed to treat injuries such as sprains, fractures, joint injuries, and sudden muscle or joint pain that do not require emergency department visits. Patients can receive care from advanced practice providers (APPs) who specialize in orthopaedics and sports medicine.

Carmen Benoit, PA-C, chief APP at Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center, said, “Weekend games and weeknight practices mean injuries don’t always happen during business hours. The clinic allows athletes, families and anyone with an unexpected injury to receive expert care right away.”

Emory Ortho Now operates Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., starting in October 2025, and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Walk-ins are accepted without an appointment.

The clinic provides services including digital X-rays, splinting and casting, as well as evaluation by orthopaedic specialists. Patients also have direct access to follow-up care if needed. More information about the clinic is available at emoryhealthcare.org/orthonow.
