Wednesday, August 10 (2022) – Owosso, Michigan – With the start of the fall sports season, Dr. Ashraf Elbanna, Orthopedic Surgeon at Memorial Healthcare Center for Orthopedics, will once again host a Monday walk-in clinic to access orthopedic sports injuries for adolescent and high school athletes. This year, Certified Athletic Trainer Allan Goetzinger will join Dr. Elbanna in the evaluation and treatment of athletes.
This clinic will be held every Monday, starting August 15, and concluding October 17. Athletes will be seen on a walk-in basis from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at Memorial Healthcare Center for Orthopedics, located in the NOW building at 819 N. Shiawassee Street in Owosso. In the event an injury arises Tuesday through Thursday, please call the office for advanced scheduling.
This clinic provides services to evaluate injuries, to help keep athletes healthy while getting them back on track. We are able to guarantee x-rays for immediate review and upon insurance authorization, patients can be scheduled for an MRI, CT scan or any other further imagining needs. This clinic allows for treatment at a more cost-effective rate rather than an emergency department visit.
