walk-in clinics

No-appointment medical centers

Walk-in clinics are medical facilities that see patients without appointments, handling minor illnesses and injuries that don't require emergency care.

They fill the gap between a scheduled doctor's visit and the emergency room: The walk-in clinic stitched up his cut and sent him home.

Also called urgent care clinics.
