In our continuing effort to protect patients and staff, we strongly suggest patients with COVID-like symptoms schedule a telecare/video visit before coming to the center. However, we will see patients with COVID-like symptoms in-office as well. Please note that if you have any COVID- or flu-like symptoms, testing is medically necessary even if you have completed an at-home test or a lab test elsewhere. Thank you for your understanding.

For any medical concern that is not life-threatening, urgent care clinics are a great place to visit! Whether you can’t wait for the next available appointment with your primary care physician, do not have a primary care physician, or want to avoid the emergency room at all costs, urgent care clinics like ours at American Family Care can help you with just about any medical concern you have. At AFC Urgent Care, our board-certified physicians provide medical attention for any of the following conditions or services:
As you can see, there are many services for which urgent care clinics such as ours can provide excellent medical attention!
In terms of day-to-day operations, there is not a whole lot of difference between walk-in clinics and urgent care centers! Both are designed to reduce the volume of patients visiting the emergency room with non-life-threatening conditions. As such, both critical clinics and walk-in clinics accept same-day, walk-in appointments, and operate on a first-come, first-served basis, significantly reducing wait times. That said, perhaps the primary distinguishing factor between urgent care clinics and walk-in clinics is that a board-certified physician is always on staff at an urgent care clinic. In contrast, walk-in clinics often are run by a nurse practitioner or equivalent. As a result, urgent care clinics can often provide a broader and more specialized range of services. At AFC Urgent Care Clemson, our medical director is board-certified in family medicine and is supported by a cast of nurse practitioners, medical assistants, X-ray technicians, and more!
The answer to that question depends entirely on another question of how severe your medical concern is, and if it is life-threatening or not! If the answer to that question is yes, then the emergency room is your best and only legitimate option, and you should go there immediately. However, if your medical concern is not life-threatening, the urgent care clinic is a better option nine times out of ten! Not only are urgent care clinics less expensive than emergency room services, but they also do not have nearly as long of wait times like those you are likely to experience in an emergency room for a non-life-threatening medical concern.
