Walk-in clinics treat minor emergencies that are not life-threatening. On-staff certified physicians provide qualified care to patients who come in. These walk-in clinics exist for convenience when you can't wait to see your doctor and don't feel the extended wait times at an emergency room's triage centre are worth the trip. If possible, you should assess the seriousness of your condition before visiting a walk-in clinic. You can often call to speak to a nurse on-duty about symptoms or consult medical websites. More information about what kinds of services are available at a particular walk-in clinic is usually available on their website. Walk-in clinics can handle some first aid and non-trauma conditions, and the board-certified medical personnel there will let you know if they cannot treat your condition. You will otherwise be treated quickly and the same day without the need for an appointment.

Your doctor may give you more personalised care, but when the other inconvenient situations occur that can't wait for your regular doctor or don't require an emergency room visit, there's the option of walk-in clinics. Many clinics even offer online registration to facilitate the treatment process. It's about getting better when you need it, without the paperwork, and fast.
