Nowadays, in this jet paced world, everybody seems like running in a steeple chase race with no finishing line. In these full plate schedules, if on arriving at a clinic to get yourself medicated for a not too severe bug bite if you are welcomed with an suggestion of booking an appointment, the first thing that comes to your mind will be, “wish! I have visited a Walk in Clinic instead.”



The concept of these come and go clinics is nothing new for Americans, almost every one of us is aware of these. These clinics are only to be considered in case of uncomplicated medical situations like cold and flu, warts, headaches, minor injuries, burns, strains, rashes, sprains, strep throat, backache, ENT infection (ear, nose, throat) and insect bites (non-venomous).These are famous among inhabitants by the names of retail clinics, retail based clinics and also convenient care clinics acronym as CCC. To that date, according to a ball-figure, the country is blessed with nearly one thousand three hundred and fifty walk in clinics, which are served by experts like physician assistants and nurse practitioners. These CCC units are located on easily accessible locations such as shopping malls, supermarkets and retail stores.

They offer their services generally 09.00AM – 19.00 PM during weekdays 09.00- 17.00 on Saturdays and 10.00 – 16.00 on Sundays (Check you timings, the mentioned ones are for a walk in clinic located at 6870, Dykes Road, Southwest Ranches, Florida)
