Common questions
Before you visit
Should I try to put the joint back myself?
No. Attempted self-reduction can worsen an injury. Seek prompt assessment; numbness, color change, or a severe injury needs urgent medical attention.
Are the listed fees a complete quote?
The schedule lists individual services. Visit, laboratory, imaging, medication, supply, or other charges may apply separately. Ask for the total proposed cost before proceeding.
