When to Make an Appointment

While our walk-in clinics offer quick access to healthcare without the need for prior scheduling, there are certain situations where making an appointment is the better option:

Chronic Condition Management

If you're managing a chronic condition such as diabetes, hypertension, or asthma, regular check-ups are essential. Scheduling an appointment allows our healthcare providers to dedicate the necessary time to thoroughly review your health status, adjust medications, and discuss lifestyle changes.

Routine Physical Exams

You should schedule annual physical exams and routine check-ups in advance. These appointments allow us to review your health comprehensively, perform necessary screenings, and discuss any concerns you may have.

Specialist Referrals

If your condition requires the attention of a specialist, it's a good idea to schedule an appointment. Our team can provide the necessary referrals and coordinate your care, ensuring a seamless transition from primary to specialized care.

Non-Urgent Concerns

For issues that are not urgent, such as discussing long-term treatment plans or addressing minor but persistent symptoms, scheduling an appointment allows you to have a detailed conversation with our healthcare providers.

When to Walk-In

One of the greatest advantages of The Ready Care Clinic is our ability to accommodate walk-in patients. There are many situations where walking is the most convenient and appropriate choice:

Sudden Illnesses

If you wake up with a sore throat, fever, or other sudden symptoms, our walk-in clinics are ready to help. There's no need to wait for an appointment.

Minor Injuries

Walking in can be the quickest way to receive care for non-life-threatening injuries. Our clinics can handle a wide range of minor injuries, so you can avoid the wait times often associated with emergency rooms.

Vaccinations

Do you need a flu shot or other vaccination? Please stop by any of our locations without an appointment. We make it easy to stay up to date on your vaccinations with minimal disruption to your day.

Unexpected Health Concerns

Our walk-in clinics are here if you experience an unexpected health concern that doesn't warrant an emergency room visit. Whether it's a sudden allergic reaction, a rash, or an unexplained pain, our providers can quickly assess and treat your symptoms.

Our Services

  • Urgent Care: For those unexpected illnesses and injuries that can't wait.
  • Primary Care: Ongoing care and management of your overall health.
  • Preventative Care: Routine exams, screenings, and vaccinations to keep you healthy.
