Do I need an appointment for a walk-in center?
Walk-in clinics or centers see patients on a walk-in or appointment basis. Walk-in clinics allow you to walk in and see a healthcare practitioner without the need for an appointment; you will be seen and treated regardless of whether you have an appointment.
AFC is an urgent care clinic and takes patients on a walk-in basis. We provide medical accessible healthcare to children, adults, and seniors; if you are in need of urgent or routine medical care, or cannot see your family practitioner, then we are here to help.
What can I go to the walk-in center for?
If you have an urgent medical situation – that is not an emergency or life-threatening – then go to a walk-in center or urgent care facility. They treat a variety of conditions, illnesses, and injuries. Some of the conditions that can be treated at a walk-in center or urgent care center are:
- Sprain and strain injuries
- Suspected broken limbs
- Minor head injuries
- Cuts and burns
- Bites and stings
- Ear and throat infections
- Skin infections and rashes
- Eye problems
- Coughs and colds
- Feverish illness in either adults or children;
- Abdominal pain
- Vomiting and diarrhea
If you are in need of urgent care on a walk-in basis, then search your local area for clinics that take patients on a walk-in basis – or for an urgent care clinic. If it is an emergency or someone’s life is at risk, then seek immediate medical assistance and dial 911 or go to an emergency room if possible.
Can anyone go to a walk-in clinic?
Yes, anyone can visit a walk-in clinic and be seen by a medical practitioner, regardless of whether they have insurance. It is important, however, that you check with the clinic to see if they do accept your insurance – if you have it – and what their self-pay options and pricing are if you do not have insurance.
If you have any questions about the services that we offer at AFC, please visit us in person. We are open seven days a week.
