Orthopedic Same-Day Care
Do you need care for an orthopedic injury that happened in the last 14 days? Skip the ER wait and walk into LMH Health OrthoKansas.
Table of Contents
We provide same-day evaluations for patients age 1 and older for conditions including:
- Cuts and minor lacerations
- Sprains or strains
- Closed fractures
- Foot and ankle injuries
- Minor dislocations of fingers or toes
- Sports injuries
- Casting or splinting
You don’t need to be a current LMH patient to get same-day orthopedic care at OrthoKansas. You’ll be seen on a first-come, first-served basis and evaluated by one of our experienced physician assistants. If you need an X-ray, you can get it on the spot in the clinic.
When more advanced imaging or a follow up with one of our orthopedic surgeons or sports medicine physicians is required, we can get you scheduled right then and there.
Our same-day providers are here for you from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday at the LMH Health West Campus, located in Lawrence at 6265 Rock Chalk Drive.
Walk right in or call 785-843-9125 to see if same-day orthopedic care is right for you.

“I get to fix patients and that's the whole thing. You see somebody when they're hurt. It's also great that you can see them walking downtown, and then when they see you they’ve got a smile on their face because they feel better. That's what it's all about.”
Ken Filsinger received his Bachelor of Science degree in Education and Athletic Training from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. He later received his Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Wayne State University. Ken works with Dr. Richard Wendt at OrthoKansas and brings more than 20 years of experience working in orthopedics, specializing in total joints, general orthopedics and sports medicine, as well as spine and rehab.
What advice does Ken have for his patients?
“Make sure you tell us what's really going on,” he said. “Even if it's embarrassing or it's something that you may not want to share, tell us because it's probably something we need to know. And if you're in pain, call. Don't be at home and be miserable. Don't let pain interfere with your life. Let's see if we can make it better.”
