Northview Orthopaedic Associates Launches Sprain & Strain Clinic in Dahlonega

Clinic Helps Fill Void Created Following Announcement Chestatee Hospital will be Closing

September 21, 2018 (Dahlonega)   Northview Orthopaedic Associates, an established orthopaedic practice with more than 25 years serving residents with a range of orthopaedic needs in Dawson, Forsyth, Hall, Lumpkin, and Union counties, recently opened a walk-in sprain and strain clinic located at the practice’s main office, 70 Ansley Drive in Dahlonega.  The clinic is open Monday – Friday from 3-4 p.m. and allows easy access to the practice’s orthopaedic surgeons and nurses, as well as diagnostic tests such as x-ray, MRI, EMG nerve conduction studies, and management for strains and sprains.

            “Dr. David Hochschild and I, as well as our entire staff, are excited about the future of healthcare in our region, and one way we are trying to impact the landscape is through the launch of a sprain and strain clinic,” said Dr. G. Alan Binkley, who along with Dr. Hochschild are the two practicing surgeons on staff at Northview.  “We live in such a gorgeous part of Georgia where engaging in some aspect of outdoor activity throughout the year is a normal way of life for so many.  With that being said, the only down side is the likelihood of experiencing some kind of orthopaedic issue or injury is enhanced.  We want to be there for those individuals of all ages needing attention.
