Nowcare injury clinic

2200 NE Neff Rd. Bend, Oregon 97701

NOWcare is service that is offered at our Neff Road clinic location that provides care without an appointment – on the same day whenever possible, or within the same week. This service is for patients with new or sudden injuries such as concussions, on-the-job injuries, sports injuries, sudden or severe musculoskeletal pain, and fractures or sprains.

  • Open Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
  • Expert care for all ages, including pediatrics and older adults
  • Concussion evaluation
  • Fracture care and casting
  • X-ray
  • Patients typically pay a regular office visit copay (if applicable)

If your pain or injury has been persistent or ongoing, please call 541-382-3344 to schedule an appointment with one of our providers.

WHY WASN'T I ABLE TO BE SEEN THE SAME DAY?

Due to a community-wide shortage of orthopedic providers, we’re currently experiencing increased volumes and can’t always provide care on the same day. If an evaluation from a specialist is not available, patients may be offered an appointment, on the same day or within the same week.

HOW IS NOWCARE DIFFERENT FROM URGENT CARE?

The providers at NOWcare specialize in injuries that are related to bones, joints, muscles, and their supporting structures. Urgent Care, on the other hand, is for all different types of illness or injuries requiring a same day evaluation including burns, colds, flu, allergic reactions, rash or skin irritations, mild asthma, etc.  If you have a serious condition like stroke, heart attack, severe bleeding, or major trauma go to the emergency room or dial 911.

WHAT TYPE OF PROVIDER WILL I SEE AT NOWCARE?

NOWcare appointments are staffed by our expertly trained orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors, and physician assistants (PAs). Most sudden onset injuries are evaluated and treated in a similar way. Your provider will  determine if your injuries require further diagnostic care and treatment, such as x-ray, splinting, crutches, ice, post-concussion testing, or compression.

WILL MY INSURANCE COVER A VISIT AT NOWCARE?

Providers at NOWcare have special training in musculoskeletal injuries and can treat them efficiently and effectively. If you are treated at an emergency room or urgent care for an orthopedic injury, they will typically have you follow up with an orthopedic office visit. Patients typically pay a regular office visit copay (if applicable).
