Cleveland Clinic Opens Ortho Express Care In Solon

SOLON, OH — The Cleveland Clinic has opened its second Ortho Express Care. The service will be offered at the Solon Family Health Center. The facility will offer walk-in care for patients that have common orthopedic issues.

“There are a variety of minor acute injuries, such as simple fractures, sprains and swollen joints, that need prompt medical attention but do not require an emergency department visit,” said Dr. Brendan Patterson, interim chair of Cleveland Clinic’s Orthopaedic & Rheumatologic Institute. “It was important for us to improve access outside traditional business hours to provide specialized care for these type of injuries.”

The Ortho Express Care in Solon, at 29800 Bainbridge Road, will be open Monday through Sunday, though hours will vary.

• Monday through Friday: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
• Saturday: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• Sunday: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Solon Family Health Center Only)

• Swollen or painful joints
• Sports or exercise-related injuries (no concussions)
