It can be difficult to decide at the moment what constitutes a trip to the emergency room and what can be treated at a walk-in urgent care clinic. When the situation arises, most circumstances will not allow the time to call ahead and book an appointment with your family doctor for treatment. Unless the situation is life-threatening and needs immediate attention, walk-in urgent care clinics are becoming more and more accessible, and more often than not, the best option is to seek same-day medical services.

A visit to the emergency room is typically reserved for life-threatening conditions or health concerns that would require medical attention as soon as possible. For illnesses or injuries that are still serious and would require medical attention that same day or evening, urgent care centers would be appropriate. It is often recommended that if it is something you would normally seek a visit with your family doctor and they are not available then a walk-in urgent care is the right place to go. The emergency room is intended for medical emergencies that are likely to require advanced treatments quickly that are only available in hospitals, such as surgical procedures.

Walk-in clinics or urgent care clinics are intended to address non-emergent and non-threatening ailments or injuries. Some ailments for which you may choose to visit a walk-in clinic could include a fever, serious earache, bad cold or flu, an abnormal rash, or a severe migraine. Injuries such as back pain, sprains, minor cuts, burns, or a minor broken bone would merit a trip to a walk-in clinic rather than a trip to the emergency room.

Walk-in clinics can offer longer hours than your typical family physician to provide urgent care as needed. They are often preferred over emergency rooms due to their minimal wait times and more affordable costs.

If possible, it can be beneficial to call the walk-in clinic that you plan on visiting to ensure that they are not overwhelmed and to make sure that you bring everything you may need for your visit, such as your health care and insurance information. Once you are at the clinic, be prepared to answer most if not all of the following questions;

● Do you have a family doctor and/or who is it?
● What medical problem brings you to the clinic today?
● When did this problem begin/ how long have you had these symptoms?
● If any, which medications are you taking?

For the medical staff to be able to provide you with the best possible treatment, it is important that you can articulate your symptoms or concerns and that they are aware of allergies and other medications that you are using to your primary care physician to ensure your safety. While your primary care physician has a record of your medical history readily available, those at the walk-in clinic will not be able to access any information about your medical past so it is up to you to notify them of anything that may impact the treatment you will receive.
