Skip the Extra Steps at Orthopaedic Associates
March 6, 2025
When every step hurts, the last thing you want to do is take extra steps to find relief. At Orthopaedic Associates of Duluth, we understand that your chronic pain or injury can make even the simplest movements feel like a major challenge. That’s why we’re committed to providing comprehensive, streamlined care that minimizes unnecessary steps and helps you get back to a life of living in motion faster.
From your first consultation to your final follow-up, we provide everything you need for complete orthopaedic care that is convenient to you. Our goal is to make your recovery as easy as possible – because the less time you spend navigating appointments, the more time you can focus on recovering.

Here is how we remove extra, unnecessary steps toward your recovery:
Surgeon Care From the Start
Our board-certified orthopaedic surgeons are with you from the beginning of your journey, taking the time to listen to your pains, explain your options, and guide you through your personalized treatment. Whether you’re dealing with an injury, chronic pain or a complex joint issue, our surgeons have the expertise to get you on the right path toward relief and recovery.
No Referral Needed
You should have the power to take control of your health. That’s why we don’t require a referral to schedule an appointment. Whether you’ve been dealing with pain for a while or you’ve just injured yourself, you can call us directly or fill out our online form to schedule a visit with one of our specialists. This streamlined process eliminates barriers to care and ensures you get the help you need, when you need it, without unnecessary delays.
Comprehensive Care
We take a comprehensive approach to orthopaedic care. Meaning we focus on not just one aspect of your recovery, but every part of it – beginning with an accurate diagnosis followed by surgical or non-surgical treatment as needed and rehabilitation. Our team of board-certified surgeons, professionally trained nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, physical and occupational therapists, nurses, athletic trainers and staff works collaboratively to ensure you have everything you need in one place, every step of the way.
Day-of Imaging On-Site
Diagnostic imaging is a crucial part of understanding the root cause of your pain or injury. However, the traditional process of scheduling an MRI or X-Ray, waiting for results, and then going back for another appointment can add weeks to your timeline.
At Orthopaedic Associates, we offer MRI and X-Ray services conveniently in our main office. If you need an imaging study, we don’t have to set up another appointment at a different facility, we simply walk down the hall! This allows you to get your scan quickly, so your physician can start creating your treatment plan without delay.
Therapy On-Site
Recovery doesn’t stop after surgery or your initial treatment phase – it’s just as important to have access to ongoing care that supports your rehabilitation plan. That’s why we offer both physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) on-site, as well as at our Hermantown clinic. Our experienced therapists work with your physician and are ready to assist you with personalized rehabilitation programs, whether that’s strengthening, regaining mobility, or improving your ability to perform daily activities.
24/7 Scheduling
Orthopaedic issues don’t keep office hours, and neither do we! That’s why we offer 24/7 scheduling for appointments and consultations, so you can schedule at your convenience and on your time.
