Durham – Southpoint, NC, School and Sports Physicals

Prepare for the Upcoming Year with American Family Care®

If your child wants to participate in school events or extracurricular sports, they’re going to need a thorough school and sports physical. Designed to examine their overall health, these assessments are vital for letting administrative professionals know that your child can handle the rigorous activity. Without a proper physical on file, you may not be able to let your kids participate in something they genuinely love. Fortunately, it is possible to get your child the exam they need without waiting several weeks for an appointment. Just reach out to AFC Urgent Care.

Get a Physical Without the Wait

School, sports, and camp physicals are often required to ensure participants are in good health. They’re usually simple exams that assess a patient’s overall health and wellness, but they often need to be booked well in advance. If you’re in need of a sports, school, or camp physical and are having trouble getting into your doctor’s office anytime soon, why not visit your local AFC? We offer urgent care sports and school physicals without requiring you to book an appointment beforehand. You can just walk in anytime. We strive to keep wait times to a minimum, so you can get the physical you need and get on with your day.

What Happens if the Physical Reveals a Problem?

There is always a possibility that your urgent care specialist could notice something troublesome during a walk-in physical for school. That’s why it’s good news that AFC is equipped to handle additional follow-up care. If your provider notices something that needs a closer look during your physical, the process is similar to that of your regular doctor. We might order labs or prescribe a medication. AFC takes all forms of insurance, and we can even accommodate individuals without insurance coverage. This way, there’s no question that you can get the additional care you need should we discover something to treat.

Further, because our labs and pharmacy services are all in-house, we can process your samples right away. This allows you to get speedier results – often for less than you’d pay going the traditional route. We know that your time is valuable, and we set out to make every stage of the school and sports physical process timely for you.

It’s important to mention as well that AFC has access to a diverse range of advanced medical equipment for additional testing if needed. We’re committed to providing superior care to all our patients, whether they’re in for a routine physical or for something more specific. If required, we’re capable of handling:

• X-rays
• Blood tests
• STD screenings
• Pre-operation bloodwork

All these services are performed right at our locations, typically without a need for a follow-up visit. So don’t settle for a physician with weeks of wait time when you can get one of our walk-in physicals for school. We’ll have you and your child in and out of our office in no time and ensure they’re back on the playground or field with confidence.
