How Long Are the Wait Times?
We know that waiting can be stressful. With AFC Urgent Care being a walk-in clinic, the waits are short. While how long you wait can differ, AFC Hixson is known to have many visitors to be admitted in 15 minutes or less. If busier, wait times can be an hour, but that is still shorter than many ER wait times.
