Orthopedic Services
While the Pat Walker Health Center primary care medical providers treat a broad spectrum of orthopedic conditions, your provider may refer you to an orthopedic specialist. The student health and wellness fee supports this service, by waiving the office visit charge, however, other ancilliary charges are the responsibility of the patient.
Students must be referred by a medical provider from the Primary Care Clinic at Pat Walker Health Center to be seen by an orthopedic specialist in the Primary Care Clinic.
