Walk-In Visits

What are walk-in visits?

Walk-in visits are a fast and convenient way of accessing health care when you can’t wait for a routine consultation. As the name indicates, you don’t need to book an appointment. Simply walk in and speak to the receptionist, and you’re seen as soon as possible.

The Maryland Primary Care and Urgent Care walk-in clinic effectively manages most urgent care needs. The practice has on-site diagnostics, including lab services and echocardiogram machines.

The time it takes to see one of Maryland Primary Care and Urgent Care’s clinicians varies depending on how busy the clinic is and other patients’ needs. However, walk-in visits are quicker and more cost-effective than visiting the hospital emergency room.

What problems are suitable for walk-in visits?

You can use walk-in visits for most common illnesses and injuries that don’t require emergency care, such as:

• Allergic reactions
• Asthma attacks
• Chest infections
• Eye infections
• Constipation and fecal impaction
• Earache
• Headaches and migraines
• Cuts and severe bruising
• Sprains and strains
• Tonsillitis and laryngitis
• Muscle pain and cramps
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Rashes
• Sinusitis
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

Life-threatening injuries, conditions like appendicitis, heart attack or stroke symptoms, loss of consciousness, a seizure, or heavy bleeding that won’t stop are the kinds of emergencies that require immediate hospital treatment.

What treatment might I get at my walk-in visit?

The treatments Maryland Primary Care and Urgent Care provides for patients at walk-in visits vary according to the nature of the condition. 

Examples of services available include cleaning and stitching injuries, tetanus shots for puncture wounds, wrapping sprained ankles, and prescriptions for any medications you need.

If you require further investigations like a CT or MRI scan or you need to see a specialist, your provider can refer you.

Your provider also offers you advice on self-care, like what to eat and drink, how to exercise, and anything else that could help you feel better. They also tell you if you need a follow-up appointment for a checkup or stitch removal.
