On-Demand Healthcare: Why Walk-In Clinics Are the Solution
Walk-in-clinic is a fantastic alternative to traditional healthcare. They're convenient, affordable, and easy to use. However, they aren't right for everyone. In this article, we'll take a look at the benefits of walk-in clinics, why they're so popular in some areas of Canada—and why they might not be right for you or your loved ones.
Walk-in clinics are usually open during non-traditional hours.
Walk-in clinics are often open evenings, weekends and holidays. They're also staffed with doctors who can help you when your regular doctor is unavailable. The convenience of walk-in clinics makes them a great option for patients who don't have time during the day or live far away from their usual doctor's office.
Walk-in clinics may be even more convenient for those living in areas where there aren't enough primary care physicians (PCPs). PCPs are medical professionals who provide long-term care for patients by diagnosing illnesses and injuries, prescribing medication as needed and monitoring progress towards recovery goals through checkups at regular intervals throughout treatment plans--and they can only do this if they're available! Walk-in clinics give access to many services that would otherwise not be available due to a lack of qualified professionals like PCPs around town; these include physical exams or vaccinations against diseases such as measles which could spread quickly if left unchecked because nobody knows how much exposure they've already had before showing symptoms themselves
Walk-in clinics are also a great option for anyone who doesn't want to go to a traditional doctor's office but wants to see a professional.
Walk-in clinics are also a great option for anyone who doesn't want to go to a traditional doctor's office but wants to see a professional. You can usually get an appointment the same day and don't have to wait in long lines or be seen by someone who isn't your primary care physician. You also won't be charged as much as you would at an urgent care center or emergency room, because walk-ins don't charge copays (and sometimes even accept insurance!). Additionally, if you're worried about privacy issues when going into one of these places--don't be! They're typically small offices with only about 5-10 beds total, so there will never be more than one other person in there with you at any given time.
Walk-in clinics can be very affordable.
If you're paying out of pocket for healthcare, walk-in clinics can be a great option for getting quick medical care. They're usually less expensive than traditional doctor's offices, especially if you have a high deductible or need to pay for all your medical services in cash.
For example, one of the most common types of visits to a walk-in clinic is an upper respiratory infection (URI). According to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, the average cost per visit was $180 in 2014--but that doesn't include prescriptions, which could add another $50 or more depending on what kind of medicine they prescribe and whether it requires an office visit. With some regularity I've seen URIs at my local clinic start at around $70 plus tax and go up from there depending on whether any additional tests need doing before giving me antibiotics; this includes everything from blood work through x-rays if necessary!
They aren't just for people with minor issues.
You may think that walk-in clinics are only for people who have minor issues, but they can also be used to treat some serious illnesses or injuries. For example, if you have an ear infection and need antibiotics, a walk-in clinic is a good option because it's much faster than going to an emergency room (ER).
The reason why walk-in clinics can treat serious illnesses is because they have doctors on staff who are experienced in dealing with these conditions--they know what medications to prescribe and how best to address them before things get worse.

Walk-in clinics are a great alternative to traditional healthcare, but they're not right for everyone.
If you have a serious injury or illness and need emergency treatment, a walk-in clinic may not be able to help you. And if your doctor feels that the issue is too serious for him or her to handle on his own (or if he's already booked), then he'll refer you elsewhere rather than taking care of it himself.
But don't worry: this doesn't mean that walk-in clinics aren't good at what they do! They're actually very good at treating minor illnesses and injuries--and if one does happen upon something more serious than expected during their visit, the staff will refer them accordingly without any fuss or delay in service whatsoever.
