Burlington Urgent Care Vs Minute Clinic at AFC Urgent Care

Many healthcare consumers and patients may have started to see walk-in clinics sprouting up in places like grocery stores, pharmacies, and similar retail locations.

These clinics, commonly referred to as “Minute Clinics," are aimed to provide fast healthcare services. However, these clinics usually don’t have the capabilities to create both high-quality and convenient healthcare services for patients. In addition, many patients confuse these clinics with urgent care centers.

At AFC Burlington, we provide high-quality healthcare services that are designed to fit your schedule. Unlike a Minute Clinic, our urgent care center is staffed with board-certified providers to provide extensive healthcare services that are commonly associated with emergency care.

Here are the main differences between an urgent care center and a Minute Clinic:
