The last thing you want to do in life is fall down, but has the saying goes, it doesn't matter how much you fall, but it matters. How much do you get back up.
I had an unfortunate incident where I didn't look where I was going and tripped over vehicle parking stopper concrete thing. I was OK but my right knee felt entire impact. I didn't notice until two hours later when my knee starts to swell up pretty big. After a few days of icing and very noticeable pain in my knee, I decide to seek professional help. I had an event coming up that I need my legs for, so I was kind of desperate in a sense. I wanted a quick fix fast. I checked Yelp and found All Access Ortho. I was happy that they were located in town and basically on the bus line too. I read their website and very happy that they accepted walk-in patients after seeing the ones that had appointments schedule that day. I got to the office around 8:05 AM on a Wednesday morning in May 2024. I actually carried the new patient forms with me and refilled them out so I did not have to kill time waiting and fill out those forms. I spent an hour or so waiting for my turn to get seen by the orthopedic doctor that morning. Finally, around 9:15 AM, I was called into the X Ray room, where they took a series of x-rays on my knee. It was interesting that it felt like being at a dentist office came x-rayed on my teeth, but this was for my knee. After maybe 15 minutes of x-rays, I was led to the examining room and waiting for the doctor to appear. The good news is that they did a great job of examining me and the prescriptions that they give me to alleviate the pain were very awesome and amazing. Night and day!
The overall experience here at All Access Ortho is pretty amazing actually. It's one of those places where it's great to have when you need it type of thing. I guess as we age, we need these kind of services because we all eventually get fragile one way or another. All Access Ortho is basically organized like a doctors office, but they specialize in orthopedic services, like a knee injury or anything that will cause you pain and suffering. The waiting room was surprisingly nice and casual. While I was waiting, it was very nice and peaceful. Maybe it was because it was a Wednesday morning and it was just a good day to go. The nurse practitioner who tended to my knee / leg was very friendly and very knowledgeable. She knows her stuff really well and answered all my questions. It is cool that they have an X Ray machine on site and can diagnose most situations right there during the same visit. I was worried that it would have taken half a day, but as it turns out - around 2 hours ish in total, when you're a walk-in patient. I was glad that I came here first before going to see my primary physician, since the pain was borderline inbearable. Needed the quick fix fast! Thankful All Access Ortho provided that relieve for me. If you need them, they're here for you!
All Access Ortho is located at 1401 S Beretania Street, Honolulu. It's relatively near Ala Moana Shopping center. They accept most major health insurances, which is always a good thing. Best to have an appointment, but good to know that they accept walk-in's too. As far as parking goes, the building does have covered parking options. Other than that, you're stuck looking for street parking wherever you can find it. As for me though, I ended up walking here from Jack In the Box on Kalakaua / S Beretania. Short walk. After my visit, I took the bus afterwards. All Access Ortho sits on the S. Beretania Bus line, so a few routes stop literally across the street from there. For the most part though, very thankful and blessed that they are here and accepts walk-ins. If you are injured and need fast relief, come here! You'll be glad you did.
Just waiting for the bill now.
5.0 stars for the overall experience.
