Many walk-in clinics accept patients on a first-come-first-serve basis and don’t require you to make an appointment. This is convenient and cost-effective, giving patients the opportunity to be seen quickly without having to wait for a set appointment date. However, some walk-in clinics, such as Carrboro Family Medicine Center, offer same-day appointments to provide an extra layer of service to those who need non-emergency medical attention.  You can always check online or call the facility to determine whether a walk-in clinic is accepting same-day appointments.
