Express Walk-In Clinic Offering Reliable Urgent Care Services in Tampa, FL
Here’s a common dilemma: What should you do if you need medical attention for an urgent health issue that does not merit the emergency services of a hospital ER, but also cannot wait a few days for an appointment? Consider visiting our express walk-in clinic in Tampa, Florida. At South Tampa Immediate Care, you will be promptly seen by a qualified doctor who has many years of experience in treating non-emergency illnesses and injuries.
How We’re Different
You might be wondering exactly how our express walk-in clinic differs from an ER and a primary care provider’s office. Each type of healthcare facility offers unique benefits and is the right choice under certain circumstances. For instance, if you have chest pains, difficulty breathing, or other emergency symptoms, you should go directly to the nearest ER. On the other hand, you may want to schedule an appointment with your primary care provider if you need an annual wellness exam or a prescription refill, or if you have a chronic condition that necessitates periodic monitoring.
Until the 1980s, an ER visit was the only way to receive immediate treatment for a non-emergency condition such as a broken bone, a wound that needs stitches, or a fever spike. But ER treatment comes at a price. Due to ever-rising healthcare costs and an overall reduction in the number of emergency rooms across the nation, you might have to pay an exorbitant fee and wait for hours in a triage queue and to have a doctor examine your sore throat. In non-emergency situations, our express walk-in clinic is the ideal solution. We offer the “no-appointment” convenience of an ER but with much faster service and at a fraction of the cost.
Conditions We Treat
At our express walk-in clinic, you can receive prompt treatment for many common health conditions, including:
- The common cold and flu
- Sinus infections
- First-degree burns
- Mild skin rashes
- Allergies and asthma attacks
- Sprains and strains
- Minor fractures
- Ear and eye infections
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Additionally, we provide many of the same services you would find in an ER, such as X-rays, lab testing, splinting, foreign body removal, nebulizer treatment, and EKGs. We also offer many services you would find in a primary care provider’s office, such as school and sports physicals, flu shots, drug screening, and non-intravenous injections. Our express walk-in clinic also offers other services that are not available in ERs and most physicians’ offices, such as an on-site pharmacy* and a virtual waiting room.
