Various Walk In Clinics Toronto

By Jordan Schmidt


Toronto, ON is a busy city and there are times when people have to queue in for several months to get an appointment with their doctor. Therefore, in order to deal with minor illnesses and injuries, walk in clinics Toronto are put in place so that people can conveniently get treated without facing any long waits.

The location of such centers is always convenient so that people find it easily. The treatments that are offered in such clinics range from few to many but nothing major in nature. All these problems are minor or not so serious. If the doctor or nurse at the center assess your condition and say that you are suffering from something major then you wouldn't be treated here.

Minor problems like rashes or infection on the skin can be dealt here so you don't necessarily have to take an appointment with your GP. It could be just a bug or allergy and taking medications should help you get rid of it in no time. But, if you think, its something serious, you should consult your GP even if you have to wait for a couple of days for your appointment.

These centers also provide help and support regarding quit smoking. You will have to make visits to the walk in center for a couple of times so that your progress can be monitored on a regular basis. You will be assessed on the basis of making improvements and getting rid of your habit.

You may also go to such clinics if you require emergency contraception. The nurse or doctor will ask you a couple of questions regarding when you had last intercourse and whether you have taken such medicines before. Make sure you give all correct information because emergency contraception is only effective if it is taken as soon as the accident happens. Moreover, in order to avoid future mishaps, you should go to your doctor and discuss the various contraception options that you can choose from.

You're not required to book an appointment as you can straight walk in. All the patients are served on the basis if first come and first served. Although if there is an elderly patient, a minor child or a pregnant lady, they might be seen before you even if they arrived later as they are given priority because of their physical state.

Most of these clinics are open throughout the year and sometimes even during the evenings and late at night. Although the opening hours may vary from one clinic to another but usually they are open every single day of the year.

They are definitely a better alternative to your GP if you want to deal with common illnesses and minor health problems. Whereas, if your condition is serious then you will be advised by the clinic's staff that you should either go to your GP or go to the accident and emergencies hospital depending on what you are suffering from. This is because such clinics are only designed to provide basic illnesses treatment.
