After-Hours Walk-in Clinic Q&A

The need for walk-in clinics has grown in recent years. Its purpose is to improve the experience you have with medical clinics. It gives you more flexibility in getting the care that you need, with more flexibility and convenience.

A walk-in clinic is a medical office where people who have urgent needs or do not have a regular family practitioner can get the help they need. They can just walk in off of the street, with no appointment required, and see a medical professional on staff. They deal with many of the most common health issues, as long as they aren’t life-threatening.

Here are some of the health issues that can be treated at a walk-in clinic:

• Minor burns
• Eye and ear injuries
• Flu, cough, cold
• Sprain and strains
• Fractures
• Cuts that require stitches
• Sore throat
• Illnesses, such as pneumonia

Walk-in clinics provide a health care alternative that falls between a primary care clinic and the emergency room. They can also provide much of what you can get at a primary clinic.

There are many illnesses and injuries that can be treated at a walk-in clinic. There are many differently trained medical professionals at a walk-in clinic who are able to help you when the need arises.

A walk-in clinic will be able to treat many of the more common illnesses and health concerns, such as:

• Cold and flu symptoms, can cause complications if left untreated.
• Sore throat and strep throat can be diagnosed and treated.
• Sprains, strains, and fractures can be treated. When treated promptly, these will heal faster with fewer problems.
• Bladder infections and urinary tract infections. These needed to be treated quickly to prevent them from becoming more severe.
• Insect bites, bees, and wasp stings can be treated.
• Allergy issues can be treated. Allergic reactions to insect bites, food, and other allergens can become serious issues if left untreated. Assistance from medical staff that is available can alleviate complications. They can also test for allergies and teach people how to avoid allergic reactions and allergies in the future.

A walk-in clinic/urgent care clinic is very different from an ER department. A walk-in clinic is set up to handle many of life’s more common and uncomfortable health concerns. They can take care of cuts that may need stitches, as long as they aren’t bleeding too much. They can handle fractures, as long as they aren’t compound fractures that have broken through the skin. A walk-in clinic can handle those problems that need quick attention but aren’t life-threatening.

An emergency department has the ability to treat someone with serious health issues, like a heart attack or a stroke. They have the facilities to do surgery that cannot be done at an urgent care. An emergency department has highly specialized staff and equipment that aren’t available at an urgent.

An urgent care can handle many problems that ERs do, without waiting times. They can also do this at a much more affordable.
