Medical Assistant

Job Description

Who We Are!

Urgently Ortho is an orthopedic urgent care located in San Francisco, California. Launched in 2018, Urgently Ortho’s mission is to reinvent the way orthopedics is delivered. We offer same-day bookings for acute and chronic musculoskeletal care for adults and pediatrics (ages two and up). We have onsite X-Ray and definitive fracture care with casting/splinting and onsite durable medical equipment (crutches, braces, and immobilizers). Unlike traditional Urgent Care, which stabilizes an injury, then may refer to a specialist; we are the specialists! Beyond the initial visit, we offer full orthopedic follow-up appointments, surgery, and post-operative care. We already are one of the best-reviewed orthopedic clinics in San Francisco with 80 5 star yelp reviews and 300 5 star google reviews. We are a team of highly motivated members with a passion for delivering a top-notch patient experience and intent for growing this new orthopedic model throughout the SF Bay Area.
