We provide our patients with 24-hour coverage for their orthopaedic emergencies. There is always a Longview Orthopaedic Clinic Association physician on-call who can be reached through our main number at (903) 758-2746.

If you feel your condition is truly a critical emergency, please visit your nearest hospital emergency facility.

One of our physicians is available for emergencies at all times. During the office hours please call our office, identify yourself and relay the information to the receptionist - we will respond promptly. After office hours and on weekends, our telephone is answered by our answering service, which in turn relays the message promptly to the physician on call for emergencies.This may not be your usual physician, so be prepared to answer some health history questions for the on-call physician if needed. We suggest that you call us before going to one of the hospital emergency rooms, thereby minimizing patient costs, inconvenience, and lost time.

It is important that you keep your line free so that the physician can reach you easily. If you have not been contacted in a reasonable amount of time, please feel free to call back.
