Same-Day Visits

What are the benefits of same-day visits?

No one wants to call their doctor when they're not feeling well and find out they can't get an appointment until later in the week. At Sellwood Medical Clinic, you can see your provider promptly with same-day visits. 

Having same-day visit availability at your primary care provider's office can be a big advantage. It means you can get medical help quickly when you need it most. This saves you time, reduces stress, and ensures you stay on top of your health.

When can I schedule a same-day visit?

While you should visit the ER for life-threatening and critical health conditions, you can contact Sellwood Medical Clinic for a same-day visit for the most common ailments, including: 

• Earaches
• Fever
• Flu or severe cold symptoms
• Severe migraines
• Rash
• Minor cuts
• Abdominal pain
• Strains and sprains

 Sellwood Medical Clinic also offers same-day availability for wellness visits and vaccines!

Why choose same-day visits over urgent care?

While you can walk into an urgent care clinic, there are benefits to seeing your own primary care team for a same-day visit instead.

Your primary care team already has a comprehensive understanding of your medical history and can make educated healthcare decisions more quickly than a provider who has never treated you before. If you need non-life-threatening urgent care, visit your primary care team at Sellwood Medical Clinic before going to urgent care if possible. 

If you don't currently have a primary care provider, contact the team at Sellwood Medical Clinic to learn about same-day visit availability. You can then schedule follow-up appointments by calling the practice or using the online tool to book for continuation and consistency in your healthcare.
