Many patients use walk-in clinics, also known as urgent care clinics, as their main source of care when their primary-care physicians are closed. The extended hours and immediate availability of care at a walk-in clinic provides convenience for patients, especially on weekends and evenings. The wait time to see a provider is typically half an hour or less, which allows employees to get back to work sooner instead of spending half the day in the ER. Patients can often see a doctor, as opposed to a nurse practitioner, like at a retail clinic outlet.
Walk-in clinics offer x-rays and other services not found in retail clinic outlets. A walk-in clinic can treat medical problems that are not emergencies but require care within 24 hours. The primary focus is on immediate, non-life-threatening healthcare needs. Walk-in clinic specialists have expertise evaluating and treating patients, and providing laboratory and diagnostic tests such as urinalysis, pregnancy tests, rapid strep assay and x-rays.
