At Eastway Medical Clinic, we are committed to providing convenient, accessible healthcare for a wide variety of non-life-threatening conditions. One of the key advantages of choosing our urgent care services is the availability of same-day testing for many common illnesses.

With our on-site rapid testing, you can often receive results within minutes, allowing our healthcare providers to quickly diagnose your condition and recommend the most effective treatment plan. In cases where more comprehensive analysis is needed, Eastway Medical Clinic can also send samples to external laboratories, ensuring you receive thorough and accurate care.
 
Most common illness screenings are completed on the same day, making Eastway Medical Clinic a practical option for individuals seeking quick answers and timely medical attention for acute symptoms or suspected infections.

At Eastway Medical Clinic, our urgent care providers follow a systematic and compassionate approach to diagnosing and treating minor injuries and infections for our community. When you visit our clinic, you’ll receive a thorough evaluation that begins with a detailed review of your medical history and a discussion of your current symptoms. Our team will ask about when your symptoms started, how severe they are, and any other relevant factors such as recent exposures or pre-existing health conditions. This information helps us quickly narrow down possible causes and guides the next steps in your care.
 
Your physical examination is tailored specifically to your complaints. For injuries, our providers carefully inspect the affected area, looking for signs like swelling, bruising, changes in shape, or limited movement. We may gently examine the area by touch to identify any points of tenderness or instability. If a fracture or more serious injury is suspected, we can perform X-rays onsite for a prompt diagnosis and treatment plan.
 
For infections, our providers look for visible signs such as redness, heat, pus, or swelling at the site of concern, and we also check for fever or other systemic symptoms. If needed, we can quickly perform point-of-care tests like rapid strep, flu swabs, or urinalysis right here in our clinic. For more complex cases, we may collect samples to send to outside laboratories for further analysis.
