Walk-In Clinic

Intended for non-emergency medical conditions only, the Walk-In Clinic at Affinity Clinic is provided as a service to patients who need same-day appointments and are unable to schedule an appointment with their primary physician. The Walk-In Clinic utilizes the services of certified physician assistants and nurse practitioners under the direction of a physician. Patients are usually seen on a “first come, first served” basis; however, more seriously ill patients may be seen prior to other patients at the discretion of Walk-In Clinic staff.

Walk-In Clinic hours are

• Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Note:

• May close earlier in the event of high patient volume
• The pediatric walk-in clinic is normally held three Saturdays a month – please call (229) 391-4100 for more information.
