Urgent Foot and Ankle Care: Fast, Expert Help When You Need It Most

Foot and ankle injuries don’t wait for a convenient time to strike. One wrong step off the curb, a quick twist during a run, or even a sudden flare-up of swelling or pain can disrupt your day—or your life. When that happens, you need care that’s fast, specialized, and effective.

Our Foot and Ankle Urgent Care Clinic, located in the heart of Pomona and serving the surrounding communities of Rancho Cucamonga, Claremont, Upland, Montclair, San Dimas, and La Verne, was built with one purpose in mind: to provide immediate expert care for urgent foot and ankle conditions, all without the long wait times or uncertainty of a trip to the emergency room.

What We Treat: Urgent Foot and Ankle Injuries and Conditions

Not every urgent care clinic or emergency department has the training or tools to properly treat injuries below the knee. That’s where we come in. We see patients every day for sudden foot and ankle problems such as:

Whether you’re dealing with severe ankle swelling, inability to bear weight, or a sharp increase in foot pain, don’t wait it out. These are signs your condition may be serious and needs attention now.

Skip the ER — See a Foot and Ankle Expert Instead

While the emergency room is essential for life-threatening injuries, many foot and ankle issues can be handled more efficiently—and more accurately—by a specialist. At our clinic, you’ll skip the long wait and see someone who treats foot and ankle injuries every single day.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Specialized Evaluation: All patients are seen by a trained foot and ankle specialist, not a generalist.

  • On-Site Imaging: We offer digital X-rays and diagnostic ultrasound on-site so we can see what’s happening inside your foot or ankle immediately.

  • Immediate Treatment: From splinting fractures to draining infections, we begin your treatment right away.

  • No ER Wait Times: Most patients are seen the same day or within 24 hours.

Many of our patients find us by searching for things like “urgent care for ankle pain,” “foot specialist near me,” or “same-day podiatrist for injury.” That’s because we fill a much-needed gap between general urgent care and long waits to see a podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon.

Common Signs You Should Be Seen Immediately

People often wonder if their condition is serious enough to need urgent attention. If you’re Googling any of these questions, the answer is likely yes:

  • “My ankle popped and now it’s swollen—what should I do?”

  • “Can’t walk on my foot after I stepped wrong”

  • “Foot is red and hot near toenail”

  • “Sudden arch or heel pain when walking”

  • “Is my foot fractured or just bruised?”

The truth is, even seemingly minor foot and ankle injuries can become long-term problems if they’re not addressed early. A misdiagnosed fracture, untreated tendon tear, or lingering infection can easily lead to chronic pain, instability, or even surgery that could have been avoided.

Designed for Athletes, Workers, Parents, and Everyday Accidents

Whether you’re a weekend hiker, a warehouse worker on your feet all day, or simply stepped off the stairs wrong, you deserve care that respects your time and focuses on a fast, full recovery.

We frequently see:

  • Sports-related foot injuries

  • Workplace ankle sprains

  • Foot pain from new or improper shoes

  • Re-injuries after previous fractures

  • Post-op complications after foot surgery

And for diabetic patients, a small blister or wound can become a major infection in just days. Don’t wait. Let us check it out right away.
