New Winter Walk-In Clinic

Dear SSP Families,

We are pleased to offer a new option for our families: Winter Walk-In Sick Visits for quick evaluation of simple illnesses beginning December 8th.

Who Is Eligible?

• Established patients only (seen in the last 24 months)

• Vaccinated infants and children over 6 months of age

• Sign in between 8am - 8:15 am

What Types of Concerns Are Appropriate?

Walk-in visits are designed for straightforward, short-term health concerns, including:

• Sore throat

• Earache

• Cough

• Fever

• Rash

• Other simple illnesses that have begun within the last 72 hours

When Should I Schedule a Regular Sick Appointment Instead?

Children with symptoms lasting longer than 3 days, ongoing illnesses, or those with a complex medical history, need a more thorough evaluation than a quick walk-in visit can provide. Examples of concerns better served by a scheduled appointment include:

• Asthma or wheezing or difficulty breathing

• Constipation

• Headache, concussion, or head trauma

• Chronic or recurring symptoms

• Any condition requiring extended assessment or treatment

  
  

How Do Walk-In Visits Work?

• Simply show up, no phone calls required

• Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis

• There may be a wait; wait will depend on volume

• Physicians vary by day, and we are not able to accommodate specific doctor requests

• Sign-in must be completed by 8:15 AM

  • Families arriving after this time will be offered the next available appointment

  • We suggest arriving at 8 am. There is no grace period for walk in clinic.

• Other important information

  • Starting December 8th, end date to be determined

  • Concerns that do not meet the appropriate criteria will be asked to schedule an appt.

  • We do not offer same day well visits, medication management, or sports physicals

  • We request that our families sign up for the patient portal for improved communication and follow-up
