Dr. Calixto Ruibal, Dr. Silvia Boccardo, and Dr. Julio Scaglia at Lawndale Medical Clinic provide prompt medical care for the community. An emergency room may sometimes take up your entire day. Luckily, with a visit to our walk-in clinic at East End, Houston, and Pasadena, TX, you can get that urgent care without the emergency room hassle.
What Is a Walk-In Clinic?
This type of clinic is an alternative to a hospital. You can still get quality medical care from trained doctors and nurse practitioners. However, go here because you need quick medical attention for something that's not life-threatening. For example, you can go to such a clinic due to a cut or a bruise. However, if the cut or laceration is bleeding profusely, you need to go to the ER as that's life-threatening.
Why Use This Type of Facility?
Depending on where you live, your local hospital may be backed up with taking on appointments. Plus, some doctors may not be seeing new patients for ordinary examinations. If you decide to go to the emergency room, you also have to deal with the atmosphere that comes with that. While the ER provides a vital service, it is filled with people who have had bad accidents. It can be a very chaotic atmosphere which you may not want to deal with when you simply want to get a regular checkup or treatment for an infection. Like an emergency room, you don't need an appointment, but you're much more likely to be seen earlier than you would be in the ER.
What Can These Doctors Treat?
