Benefits of a Walk-In Clinic

As an urgent care, Millennium Medical Care can provide professional medical care when patients need it. We accept walk-ins without an appointment because we understand how important professional medical is. Far too often, people will wait until a general physician can see them or avoid treatment altogether. This delay in treatment only allows the condition or health issue to get worse and make one’s daily life difficult.

As an urgent care, we can provide prompt, efficient and effective treatment services to our patients.

While some people may be skeptical of a walk-in clinic, we provide quality medical care that patients need. Providing primary care and internal medicine, our goal is to help patients receive the proper treatment in an efficient manner. We also provide school physicals and sports physicals to ensure a patient is healthy to function day to day and participate in sports. No appointment is necessary.

Benefits of a walk-in clinic and urgent care include:

• Receiving needed medical treatment when you need it
• No need to schedule an appointment ahead of time
• Receive a school or sports physical without scheduling it weeks in advance
• Professional follow-up care to ensure treatment is running smoothly
• Ability to receive urgent care that keeps your information on file
• Receive an annual check-up for pre-existing conditions

While we are a walk-in clinic, we also act as an urgent care in Fairfax, VA that keeps up-to-date medical records on patients. This way, the same patients can continue to see us when they need without needing to fill out a new round of forms or paperwork. As a family practice, parents do not need to take their children or teens to other locations. They can receive the care they need in one location.

Pay Attention to the Warning Signs

Unless the symptoms or signs of a condition are blatantly obvious, most people will avoid seeking professional treatment until the pain is much worse than it needs to be. We can provide the necessary treatment early on. The key is to listen to one’s body and keep an eye on any signs or symptoms.

While minor aches and sicknesses may go away with proper rest and over-the-counter medication, many conditions will heal more quickly with professional medical treatment. As an urgent care, we can give patients the treatment they need. However, we can only help patients that seek treatment. Signs and symptoms of a serious medical condition include:

• Constant diarrhea or digestive issues remain for more than three days
• A sore limb or area of the body that is not getting better
• Being sick for a week or more with no change in condition
• Feeling light-headed or faint throughout the day
• Abdominal pain
• Cuts that require stitches
