Walk-In Care: No Appointment Necessary
No appointment? No problem.
At Center for Family Medicine, we understand that illness and injury don’t always happen at convenient times. That’s why walk-in care is always welcome. If you or a loved one are experiencing a minor emergency — such as burns, cuts, fractures, or a sudden illness — you can come directly to our clinic. We’ll take care of you promptly, helping you avoid the long waits and higher costs often associated with emergency rooms.
Why Choose CFM Walk-In Care
Immediate access to care: No appointment needed — just come in when you need us.
Comprehensive family-oriented clinic: Our approach covers patients of all ages — from children to older adults — reflecting our broader mission to provide “whole family” care.
Professional care team: Services are provided by our resident physicians and experienced faculty physicians, working together to deliver up-to-date medical care.
Convenient resources: In addition to walk-in care, CFM offers services like in-clinic lab work, language translation (over 100 languages), financial assistance for qualifying patients, and a full suite of family medicine offerings to support long-term health.
When to Use Walk-In Care
Walk-in care at CFM is ideal for unexpected but non-life-threatening health concerns, including but not limited to:
- Minor injuries: cuts, burns, small fractures, sprains
- Sudden onset illness: fevers, flu-like symptoms, mild infections
- Urgent but non-emergency needs — especially when you don’t have a scheduled appointment
For serious emergencies (e.g., severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, serious trauma), you should still consider going to an emergency room or calling 911.
