FAQs About Walk-In Care
What Should I Bring to My Walk-In Appointment?
Please bring a valid ID, your health insurance card, and a method of payment. It is also helpful to have any relevant medical records or medications you are currently taking.
How Does Walk-In Care Differ From Emergency Room Care?
Walk-in care is designed for non-life-threatening conditions and offers a faster and often more cost-effective solution than the emergency room for minor to moderate health issues.
What Is the Difference Between a Walk-In Clinic and Urgent Care?
Walk-in clinics are ideal for treating minor ailments and injuries, while urgent care centers handle more serious, non-life-threatening conditions needing immediate attention, such as fractures or severe respiratory illnesses. Both provide quick access and extended hours beyond traditional doctors' offices.
Can I Receive Prescriptions From a Walk-In Care Visit?
Yes, our doctors can prescribe medications as necessary for your treatment during your visit.
How Do I Know If Walk-In Care Is Right for My Situation?
Walking-in care is an excellent option if you are experiencing a non-emergency health issue that still requires prompt attention. For severe or life-threatening conditions, please visit an emergency room or call 911.
