Walk-In Visit Specialist

What is walk-in medical care?

A walk-in clinic refers to any medical provider offering medical care to patients without an appointment. Originally designed to provide an alternative to the hospital emergency room for patients without health insurance, walk-in medical care is a viable option for anyone in need of urgent care or medical services but who might find it difficult to schedule an appointment around their daily activities.

When can I use the walk-in option?

To provide the highest level of care possible, Midwest Regional Health Services offers same-day appointments and walk-in visits. You can visit the practice when you need treatment for common ailments including:

• Flu or severe cold symptoms
• Earaches
• Severe migraines
• Fevers
• Rashes
• Minor lacerations
• Strains and sprains

Scheduling an appointment helps reduce your wait time to see a doctor, but if making an appointment is difficult or you have an urgent health care need, just walk in during the practice’s open hours to see one of the experienced and board-certified doctors. For your convenience, Midwest Regional Health Services is open with extended hours on weekdays and provides Saturday hours as well.

Why should I use the walk-in availability at my primary care doctor?

While urgent care centers and other physician offices provide walk-in and same-day appointments, you benefit by using the walk-in services of your own primary care doctor. That’s because your doctor knows about your medical history and can make informed decisions about your health care needs faster and more accurately than a doctor who has never treated you before.
 

If you need medical care right away, take advantage of a walk-in appointment with your own primary care doctor at Midwest Regional Health Services. If you don’t currently have a primary care doctor, you can then schedule your follow-up primary care visits with the same provider by calling the practice or using the online booking tool.

Walking in for an urgent care visit is not only convenient, but it’s less expensive than an emergency room visit. If you need routine care, a sick visit, or urgent care, just walk in during open hours and see a provider at Midwest Regional Health Services.
