Urgent Care Doctors Accepting New Patients

Patients seek medical attention for a number of reasons and choosing where to see a doctor can be dependent on several factors.

The extent of the medical condition or issue requiring an assessment from a doctor can determine if the patient needs to head to a walk-in clinic, urgent care, or emergency room.

Urgent care provides a cost-effective, quick, and convenient option for the diagnosis and treatment of minor illnesses and injuries.
Deciding which urgent care center to visit will be unique to the individual seeking medical care.

They may choose one based on proximity to where they are at the time of needing a doctor’s care, what the hours of operation are, what insurance plans they accept, and what services they offer.

While most urgent care centers offer similar services, some may not have specific services such as x-rays or offer care for specific conditions such as pediatric care.

At Eastside Urgent Care, we provide a wide range of services including pediatric care and x-rays.

Urgent care is run primarily on a first-come, first-served basis with patients not requiring an appointment in order to see a doctor.

However, some urgent care centers do offer appointments to patients when available so they can avoid an extended stay in the waiting room.

Urgent care wait times are relatively short compared to those of a hospital emergency room, however, times can vary depending on how busy they are.

At Eastside Urgent Care, we provide patients with the option to book a guaranteed appointment time or to visit us on a walk-in basis.

Patients who do walk-in will be seen that day, with the team working hard to ensure patients are seen as quickly as possible, while still being provided with a thorough and complete exam from the doctor.

Depending on the type of illness or injury diagnosed, additional testing can be performed onsite to assist with the diagnosis, regardless of if the patient is a walk-in or has a booked appointment.

Some services may not be offered during full operating hours, such as x-rays, so patients requiring these services should call ahead to ensure that they can get the full treatment they need.

Urgent care is a cost-effective option for patients seeking medical care, who would like to avoid the high cost of a trip to the hospital emergency room.

An emergency room visit is required for patients with a life-threatening illness or injury, or require complex medical treatment, otherwise, an urgent care can provide the necessary care at a fraction of the cost.

Most urgent cares do accept medical insurance, and most medical insurance plans cover urgent care services.

It is best to check with your medical insurance company to find out what their policy is and what your specific plan covers, so you can be prepared.

There may be a co-pay option in which patients have to pay a small fee, or a deductible, with the insurance plan covering the balance.

You can also check with the urgent care to find out which insurance company plans they accept so that you can avoid having to pay for your visit out of pocket, with the exception of the co-pay.

Eastside Urgent Care operates on a walk-in or by appointment basis so that patients have the option of receiving care based on their needs.

Regardless of a patient choosing to book an appointment or walk-in to be seen by a doctor, they do not need to be a current patient at Eastside Urgent Care.
