"They got me in quickly after I rolled my ankle. I was back in X-ray less than 10 minutes after arrival and then directly to a room. The entire process took less than an hour but never felt rushed."
"My family has had a great experience here. I appreciate that they take walk-in emergencies because life happens when you least expect it and you do not always have time to wait months for an appointment."
"I had a great experience at OS1 with a recent knee injury. I was able to make a same-day appointment at a convenient time. The staff were kind and professional."

OS1’s Hoover clinic serves patients throughout the greater Birmingham area, including Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Pelham, Alabaster, and Helena. Located at 1031 Brocks Gap Parkway, our team provides same-day orthopedic and sports injury care without the cost or wait time of an emergency room visit. No appointment or referral is required, walk in any day we’re open.
Whether you’ve fractured a bone, sprained an ankle at a weekend game, or are dealing with chronic joint pain, our orthopedic specialists provide fast diagnosis using on-site digital X-ray, with on-site open MRI scheduled by your provider when needed. Most provider visits are completed in under an hour. We treat patients of all ages, from youth athletes to adults, and accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare.
OS1 Hoover treats patients ages 2 and up, including kids and young athletes. See our pediatric orthopedic care page for the full scope of care we provide for children.
No. The Hoover clinic is walk-in. Come in during open hours and you will be seen, no booking required. If you prefer to call ahead, dial (205) 352-2911.
No. You do not need a referral from another doctor to come to OS1. If your injury needs imaging or a specialist, your OS1 provider arranges it from the visit.
OS1 Hoover accepts most major plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. Self-pay rates are available if you are uninsured. Call (205) 352-2911 to confirm your specific plan before you come in.
It depends on the day’s schedule and whether your insurance requires prior authorization. Hoover has open MRI on-site, so when your provider orders one we schedule it as soon as possible. Plans that require prior authorization can take a few business days to approve.
Yes. OS1 Hoover treats patients of all ages, from kids and young athletes to adults. The open MRI is less intimidating for kids than a closed-bore machine, and we coordinate referral to a pediatric subspecialist for the rare cases that need one.
OS1 is a non-surgical orthopedic clinic. If your injury needs a surgeon, we evaluate and stabilize it during your visit and connect you with the right specialist. You leave with a diagnosis and a clear next step, not a guess.
For most orthopedic injuries, a walk-in orthopedic clinic is the better first stop than a hospital ER. The wait is shorter, the provider treats musculoskeletal injuries all day, and the cost is a fraction of an ER bill. For a life-threatening emergency, open fracture, heavy bleeding, head injury, or chest pain, go to the ER or call 911.
