Walk-in Care Q&A
What is walk-in care?
Walk-in care is a convenient way to receive medical attention without scheduling an appointment in advance.
Care Rite, PLLC, welcomes patients with a variety of non-emergency health concerns. Their walk-in services make it easier to get the care you need, when you need it.
What kinds of conditions are treated with walk-in care?
Walk-in care is designed for common illnesses and minor injuries that don’t require an emergency room visit. Examples include:
- Colds, flu, and sore throats
- Ear infections or sinus problems
- Minor cuts and burns
- Sprains and strains
- Allergies and skin rashes
- Urinary tract infections
- Mild asthma flare-ups
The Care Rite, PLLC, team consists of experienced professionals who treat a wide range of conditions, helping you feel better quickly.
How does coordination of care work?
Walk-in care should still be connected to your overall health plan. That’s why the team coordinates treatment with your regular doctor if you don’t use Care Rite, PLLC, as your primary care provider.
This ensures that your medical history, medications, and ongoing health needs are all taken into account. You also have full access to a phone nurse during office hours so that you can get answers to any questions and concerns promptly.
Why choose walk-in care instead of the emergency room?
Walk-in care is best for non-life-threatening conditions. You should reserve emergency room visits for serious issues such as:
- Severe chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Severe bleeding
- Major injuries
- Loss of consciousness
- Severe abdominal pain
By visiting a walk-in clinic for less urgent problems, you save time and avoid the higher costs of an ER visit while still receiving quality care.
What diagnostics and treatments do walk-in clinics offer?
The diagnostics and treatment you require depend on what’s wrong with you, but examples include:
- Rapid tests for strep throat, flu, and COVID-19
- Urine and blood tests
- X-rays or ultrasound scans
- Medications, such as antibiotics for bacterial infections
- Wound cleaning, stitches, bandaging, or splints
For your convenience, Care Rite, PLLC, has in-house labs at all its offices, with X-ray and ultrasound available at Ripley and Dyersburg. They have experience caring for children, adults, and seniors, ensuring that every member of the family gets timely treatment.
