Coastal Urgent Care & Occupational Health
971 Robert Blvd, Slidell, LA 70458
Urgent Care: 985-690-8300
Life on the Northshore keeps people active — on the water, on the trails, in youth leagues, and at work. When an accident leads to a suspected broken bone, you need a place to go that is close by, open when you need it, and equipped to handle fracture care without the chaos of a hospital emergency room. Coastal Urgent Care in Slidell offers walk-in fracture evaluation and treatment on Robert Blvd, with on-site digital X-rays and board-certified providers available seven days a week. No appointment is required.
Our Slidell team focuses on getting you accurate answers and appropriate care as efficiently as possible. Here is a breakdown of what a fracture visit typically looks like:
Your provider will ask how the injury happened, review your symptoms and medical history, and perform a thorough physical assessment of the affected area. We look for swelling, point tenderness, bruising, and restricted range of motion to help determine whether a fracture is present before imaging.
Our Slidell clinic has digital imaging equipment on-site, so there is no need to visit a separate radiology facility. Your provider takes and reviews X-rays during the same visit to confirm the fracture, identify its exact location, and assess severity. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recognizes timely, accurate imaging as a critical step in diagnosing fractures and planning the right course of treatment.
Once your provider has confirmed and classified the fracture, they will apply a splint, temporary cast, or immobilization device to protect the bone and support proper healing. Pain relief, including anti-inflammatory medications, is also addressed during the visit.
If the injury requires orthopedic follow-up or surgical evaluation, we coordinate that referral before you leave. You will receive a written summary of your imaging results and clear discharge instructions so you know exactly what to do next.

When a bone injury happens, cost is often the first worry that follows the pain. Hospital emergency rooms can be expensive, and the time spent waiting makes a difficult situation worse. At Coastal Urgent Care in Slidell, we can evaluate and treat many common fractures in one visit, including breaks to the fingers, toes, wrists, hands, feet, ankles, forearms, collarbones, and ribs.
We accept most major insurance plans. Review our full list of accepted carriers at coastaluc.com/insurance/ before your visit. For patients without insurance, we offer transparent self-pay pricing so you know what to expect before you are seen. In general, urgent care for non-surgical fractures is a more cost-effective option than the ER, which typically adds facility fees even for routine fracture care.

The right place to go after a fracture depends on the nature of the injury. For most stable, non-compound fractures, an urgent care walk-in clinic is the more practical and appropriate choice. Knowing the difference can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress.
Not certain which situation applies? Call us at 985-690-8300 and we will help you determine the right level of care. If there is any doubt about the severity of the injury, go to the ER.
Even fractures that seem minor can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and long-term complications if they go untreated or are not stabilized correctly. Getting evaluated the same day is always the right move.
Yes. Coastal Urgent Care in Slidell treats most non-surgical fractures, including breaks to the fingers, toes, wrists, hands, feet, and ankles. We use on-site digital X-rays to confirm the diagnosis, then apply a splint, temporary cast, or immobilization device during the same visit. For fractures that require orthopedic or surgical follow-up, we stabilize the injury and coordinate a referral before you leave.
For most stable fractures, urgent care is a practical alternative to the ER for Northshore residents. It delivers the same essential diagnostic and stabilization care without the hospital wait times and facility fees. The ER is the right choice when the fracture is open, involves severe deformity or vascular compromise, or occurred alongside major trauma. If you are not sure, call our Slidell clinic at 985-690-8300 and we will help you decide.
In most cases, yes. ER visits for fractures often include facility fees that significantly raise the total bill beyond what the treatment alone would cost. Coastal Urgent Care in Slidell accepts most major insurance plans and provides transparent self-pay pricing for patients without insurance, so there are no surprise charges after the fact.

Urgent care is the right first stop when you have pain, swelling, or bruising around a limb and suspect a fracture, but the skin is intact and there is no severe deformity or circulation problem. Common situations in the Slidell area include: a boater or kayaker who took a hard fall getting on or off the water, a cyclist on the Tammany Trace who went down and landed on a wrist or hand, a youth football or soccer player from a St. Tammany Parish league who got hurt during a game, or a homeowner who fell off a ladder during a weekend project. When you are not sure, call before you come in.
Yes. Our Slidell clinic has digital X-ray equipment on-site on Robert Blvd. You will not need to make a separate trip to an imaging center. Your provider takes and reviews the X-rays during your visit to confirm the fracture, assess its severity, and plan the right treatment approach. Everything is handled in one location, convenient for patients throughout St. Tammany Parish.
Yes. Coastal Urgent Care in Slidell treats patients of all ages, from young children to adults. Pediatric fractures, including buckle fractures and greenstick fractures that are common in growing bones, are regularly seen and treated here. For Northshore families in Slidell, Pearl River, and Lacombe whose child has been injured, our walk-in clinic is a convenient and lower-cost alternative to the pediatric ER for most childhood bone injuries that do not require surgery.
If your provider determines the fracture requires surgical intervention, such as in cases involving a displaced bone, a complex break, or a fracture near a joint, they will stabilize the injury and coordinate a referral to an orthopedic surgeon. You will leave with a written imaging summary, discharge instructions, and a clear plan for next steps. Coming to urgent care first is still the right call in these situations, because early stabilization reduces pain and prevents the injury from getting worse while you arrange specialist care.
