Acute care services are distinct from regular primary care services because they are more urgent and time-sensitive. If you feel really sick or have a mild to moderate injury, acute care can be a great way to get in to see a doctor quicker than you’d be able to with a normal appointment.
However, acute care is not meant for minor, mundane, or non-time-sensitive injuries. Acute care is not a way to get around waiting for your appointment. Please do not come to our acute care clinic with non-urgent problems. We may turn you away if you do not have a pressing need for acute care. Crowding the acute care clinic can cause delays for patients needing urgent attention, potentially risking their health and safety. Thank you for your courtesy.
