AFC vs. the E.R.

If you’re sick or hurt and require urgent care, you could visit your local emergency room, but the average wait time is around 40 minutes – not to mention the cost. AFC's walk-in clinics are a better option. We're able to see patients quickly and provide a range of services that rivals your local hospital – including X-rays and lab tests. As a result, we're able to treat countless injuries and illnesses right in every AFC clinic.
