UPDATED MASK POLICY | Face coverings and masking is now optional for our patients, providers, visitors, and care team members and are no longer required in our EmergeOrtho Wilmington (now known as the Coastal Region) offices serving New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender and Onslow County facilities.

If the level of transmission rises once again in our region or there are significant changes in the guidance from the state, federal health officials, we may need to reinstate the mask mandate. However, the number of cases remains low in our area and we hope to see this continue.

Dr. Sutton was awesome! He gave me an injection in each knee. I was in so much pain when I arrived... by the time that I left, both knees were feeling much better. I’ve had injections in the past that didn’t do a thing for the area injected. Thank you, Dr. Sutton, for relieving my knee pain!
