Check out our latest article on WestportMoms.com featuring advice from our newest Spine Specialist, Dr. Bartolozzi.

If you have kids who play sports (or honestly, just kids 😂), chances are you’ve had that moment: Do we need the ER? Urgent care? An orthopedist? Or can this wait until tomorrow?

Our latest blog with OrthoConnecticut | Orthopedic Practice answers exactly that , breaking down where to go for everything from sprains and suspected fractures to those mysterious post-game knee, ankle and shoulder pains our kids love to tell us about at 9pm. 🙃

The good news is that not every injury means hours in the ER. OrthoConnecticut offers orthopedic urgent care 7 days a week through OrthoCare Express, plus appointments with orthopedic specialists often available within 24–48 hours.

Definitely one to read and SAVE before you need it! Head to the link on WestportMoms.com for the full blog. ⚽️🏀🏈
