When to Choose AFC Somerset Over a Minute Clinic.
More Services, Fewer Limitations
Minute Clinics have limited offerings, typically focusing on basic care like vaccinations and routine
check-ups. At AFC Somerset, we provide a broad range of services, including but not limited to:
X-Ray and Diagnostic Imaging: On-site diagnostics to quickly identify fractures, infections,
and other conditions.
Comprehensive care for sprains, strains, broken bones, and other non-life-threatening injuries.
On-Site Lab Testing: Immediate access to lab services for quick test results, including blood
work and STI testing.
Physicals: Sports, school,
DOT, and
employment physicals without the wait.
Occupational Health Services: From drug testing to workers' compensation care.
Convenience: Patients can check-in online, call ahead, or simply walk-in 7 days a week.
At AFC Somerset, you’ll be seen by licensed physicians and experienced medical staff who are equipped to
handle more complex medical issues. This level of care is typically not available at Minute Clinics,
where
you might only have access to nurse practitioners or physician assistants.
Shorter Wait Times
While emergency rooms can be overwhelming with long wait times, and Minute Clinics may not always be
available when you need them, AFC Somerset offers the perfect balance. Our urgent care center is
designed to get you in and out quickly, often with wait times of less than 15 or 20 minutes.
No Appointment Necessary
Unlike many Minute Clinics that require an appointment, AFC Somerset is fully equipped to handle walk-in
patients. Whether it’s a sudden injury or a lingering illness, you can walk into our clinic at any time
during business hours and receive immediate care.
