| March 28, 2017 | The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is opening a walk-in, after-hours orthopaedics clinic — OrthoNow — on April 3 at the UAMS Orthopaedics Clinic at 600 Autumn Road.
OrthoNow will be open 5-8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. – noon Saturdays for general orthopaedics issues. Patients will not need to call in advance to schedule an appointment.
“Our department strives to provide the most patient and family focused orthopaedic care,” said C.
