Frequently Asked Questions
What types of orthopedic disorders do you address in your emergency department?
We have orthopedists available who can evaluate, diagnose, and treat a variety of conditions, including for instance, sports injuries, fractures, arthritis, back pain, and musculoskeletal disorders. The diagnostic tools of high caliber that we apply along with our highly qualified medical group allow us to care for acute as well as chronic orthopedic conditions.
Do I need a doctor's referral to have a CT scan at the ER of Watauga?
Yes, we generally require referrals from physicians for our patients to undergo CT scans at our facility. This minimizes the chance of scan obviation and also helps us to individualize the computed diagnosis that works best for you.
Do I need a referral to receive orthopedic care at your facility?
Whereas referral to another healthcare source can help doctors who accept insurance, it is not a required step. For trauma cases and urgent orthopedics problems, the patient could just walk into an emergency room at North Richland Hills. In urgent cases, remember to call an ambulance right away instead of consulting us for immediate treatment. If you do not have any emergency, you can contact us beforehand to review your condition and how we can resolve the problem.
