What is Immediate Care or Walk-In Care?

Immediate Care, also known as walk-in care, provides health care services for diseases and injuries that require immediate attention. It is commonly used when you are unwell or injured and unable to visit your primary care doctor.

White-Wilson's Immediate Care Clinics treat patients for a variety of urgent care needs. Similar to urgent care, immediate care clinics provide an alternative to going to the Emergency Room for minor injuries and illnesses.

Immediate care specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, such as:

• Urgent illness
• Flu, cold, strep throat, Upper Respiratory conditions, etc.
• Injuries such as sprains and strains, contusions and lacerations
• Skin conditions
• Motor vehicle and Workman's compensation accidents
• New onset inexplicable pain and discomfort
• Minor outpatient surgery for wounds, lesions or foreign body removal

Immediate care is accessible for all ages but should not replace the Emergency Room. If you have a fever over 104 degrees and other dangerous symptoms like vomiting, dizziness, confusion, chills, etc., go to the ER instead of urgent care. Ultimately, immediate care services provide patients with robust, quality, and urgent care, saving time and money on ER visits.

As walk-in clinics, immediate care clinics are often confused with urgent care clinics. Urgent and immediate care physicians address the same conditions, but your health insurance benefits may differ. Instead of urgent care clinics, immediate care clinics charge similar doctors' visits. Additional fees may apply for any lab, imaging or procedures needed at the point of service.
