Urgent Care / Walk-in Clinic (Cedar Knolls)

Walk-In Hours Update

Due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, as of March 16th, we are not not seeing Walk-In patients at this time. Patients looking to make an appointment with one of our physicians can call the office at 973-538-7700 and will be pre-screened for potential exposure to virus and viral symptoms before making an appointment. We will be extending our available phone hours to help assist in making these appointments. Additionally, we will extend our normal business hours to limit patient volume in the waiting room while continuing to accommodate the needs of our patients.

We ask that only the patient and one guardian attend the visit to minimize potential exposure.

Request an Appointment

Know Before Your First Visit:

Verify the date and time of your appointment. You may be required to complete new patient paperwork or provide personal information prior to being seen by your doctor. Please arrive approximately 30 minutes prior to your appointment time.

Confirm the address and location of your appointment. The Pediatric Orthopedic Center has four convenient locations in New Jersey. Confirm with the front desk staff the office location for your visit.

Be aware of travel issues and delays. Be mindful of any driving conditions, road construction detours and parking requirements to ensure you arrive for your appointment on time.
