Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center welcomes walk-in patients from Verona, MS for same-day evaluation of sports injuries and other urgent orthopaedic concerns, without a scheduled appointment.
What Is Walk-In Urgent Care at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center?
Walk-in urgent care at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center is a same-day option for active adults and athletes who need to be seen for a new injury or sudden orthopaedic concern without waiting for a scheduled appointment. It is designed for people in Verona, MS and the surrounding area who want a faster path to an orthopaedic-trained team when something happens on the field, at work, or at home.
This service is not a replacement for emergency care. For anything that feels life-threatening, our team encourages calling 911 or going to the nearest emergency room. Walk-in urgent care is meant for orthopaedic concerns that need prompt attention but are not emergencies.
- No advance appointment required
- Seen by our orthopaedic care team the same day
- Appropriate for new sprains, strains, and similar concerns
If you are unsure whether your situation fits walk-in care, our staff can help you figure out the right next step by phone.
What to Expect at Your Walk-In Visit
Walk-in visits at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center follow a straightforward process, so you know what to expect before you arrive.
- Check in at the front desk and share what brought you in today
- A member of our clinical team will ask about your activity, symptoms, and history
- You may have an exam and, if needed, imaging done on-site
- Your provider will talk through what they find and the options for next steps
Visits are typically shorter than a full new-patient consultation, but the same attention applies. You will have time to ask questions, and our team will explain anything you do not understand before you leave.
If your concern turns out to need ongoing orthopaedic care, our team can help you schedule a follow-up with one of our providers, so you are not starting over with someone unfamiliar with your visit.
Bring a photo ID, insurance information if you have it, and a list of any current medications so our team has a complete picture.
What Our Walk-In Urgent Care Covers
Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center built its walk-in service around the everyday bumps and strains that active adults and athletes run into. Because our practice focuses on orthopaedics and sports medicine, walk-in visits are handled by a team who works with these concerns regularly, not a general urgent care unrelated to bones, joints, and muscles.
- New sprains and strains from sports, work, or daily activity
- Sudden joint pain or swelling
- Minor sports-related injuries that happened recently
- Follow-up questions about a recent orthopaedic concern
Every visit is different, and our provider will decide the right course of action once they have examined you. We do not diagnose or recommend treatment before that visit; general questions about symptoms are best answered in person, where a provider can look at the full picture.
If your concern is broader than what walk-in care is meant for, our team will let you know and help direct you toward the right kind of appointment within our practice.
Scheduling, Insurance, and Getting Started
Walk-in urgent care means you do not need to schedule ahead of time, but a few practical details help your visit go smoothly.

- Bring your insurance card if you have one, along with a photo ID
- If you are a new patient, plan to arrive a little early to complete basic paperwork
