At Eastway Medical Clinic, we provide comprehensive same-day urgent care services for both adults and children. Our clinic is equipped to treat a wide range of non-life-threatening medical conditions, ensuring you and your family receive prompt and effective care when you need it most.
 
• What We Treat: Our skilled medical team can efficiently address common illnesses such as colds, flu, sore throats, ear infections, sinus infections, bronchitis, and urinary tract infections. If you or your child are experiencing these symptoms, Eastway Medical Clinic offers convenient, same-day appointments for quick relief.
 
We also manage minor injuries—including sprains, strains, minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and burns. With on-site diagnostic tools like X-rays and lab testing available, we can quickly evaluate and treat your condition without the long wait times of an emergency room.
 
• Pediatric Urgent Care: Eastway Medical Clinic is a convenient option for families. We treat pediatric concerns such as mild asthma attacks, fevers, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, and mild allergic reactions. Our caring staff is experienced in pediatric medicine, providing reassurance and expert care for your child’s urgent health needs.
 
• Adult Urgent Care: Adults can turn to us for acute symptoms, including back pain, migraines, minor eye or skin infections, mild allergic reactions, insect bites, and mild dehydration. We offer both oral and intravenous fluids as needed, helping you recover quickly and comfortably.
 
• Additional Services: In addition to urgent medical care, Eastway Medical Clinic offers basic medical services such as sports physicals, immunizations, and evaluation of minor gynecological concerns like urinary symptoms or yeast infections.

At Eastway Medical Clinic, your family’s health and peace of mind are our top priorities. Understanding when to choose our same-day urgent care services versus heading to the emergency room can help you receive the right level of care quickly while avoiding unnecessary stress and costs.
 
When to Visit Eastway Medical Clinic for Same-Day Urgent Care:

Our urgent care services are ideal for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require prompt attention but are not true emergencies. You and your loved ones can rely on Eastway Medical Clinic for conditions such as:

• Minor cuts or lacerations that may need stitches
• Sprains, strains, or mild sports injuries
• Mild to moderate asthma attacks (without severe breathing difficulty)
• Ear infections or sore throats
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Mild allergic reactions (without breathing problems)
• Fevers, common cold or flu symptoms that worsen or do not improve
 
By choosing Eastway Medical Clinic for these conditions, you can receive fast, compassionate care from our experienced medical team—often at a lower cost and with less waiting time than an emergency room.
 
When to Go Directly to the Emergency Room:

The emergency room is best suited for severe, life-threatening situations. You should call 911 or go straight to the ER if you or a family member experiences:

• Chest pain or pressure
• Difficulty breathing or severe asthma attacks
• Severe bleeding that won’t stop
• Head injuries or loss of consciousness
• Sudden weakness, numbness, or trouble speaking (possible stroke)
• Severe abdominal pain
• Any other symptoms that are sudden, severe, or rapidly worsening

Yes, children can be seen at Eastway Medical Clinic for a variety of common urgent care needs such as fever, cough, or minor injuries. Our clinic is equipped to manage non-life-threatening medical concerns that require prompt attention, especially when your regular pediatrician is unavailable.
 
If your child is experiencing a mild to moderate fever, a cough without severe breathing difficulties, or minor injuries like small cuts, sprains, mild burns, or bumps and bruises, Eastway Medical Clinic is here to help. Our healthcare providers are trained to evaluate and treat these conditions, and we can also determine if your child should be referred to a higher level of care, such as an emergency room, if their symptoms are more serious than initially believed.
 
However, if your child is experiencing severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, persistent high fever, severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or loss of consciousness, please seek immediate emergency care rather than visiting Eastway Medical Clinic.

At Eastway Medical Clinic, we understand that timely access to healthcare is important for our adult patients. The speed at which you can receive care for non-emergency health concerns depends on several factors, such as the nature of your concern and provider availability. Our clinic is dedicated to offering flexible scheduling and responsive care to best serve our community.
 
Timely Appointments for Non-Urgent Issues
For non-urgent issues like mild illnesses, prescription refills, or routine check-ups, Eastway Medical Clinic typically offers appointments within a few days to a week. If you are already an established patient, we strive to provide same-day or next-day appointments whenever possible.
 
Convenient Telehealth Options
To increase accessibility, we offer telehealth services so you can consult with one of our healthcare professionals online or by phone—often within hours or on the same day—for concerns that do not require an in-person examination.
 
Urgent and Walk-In Care
For more immediate needs, our clinic provides urgent care services on a walk-in basis. This allows adults to receive prompt attention for minor injuries, sudden illnesses, or other urgent but non-life-threatening conditions. Wait times are typically minimal, and our team works hard to see you quickly.
 
Preventive Care and Specialist Referrals
For preventive screenings or specialist referrals, wait times may be slightly longer—ranging from several days to a few weeks—depending on demand and provider schedules. We encourage patients to schedule these appointments in advance whenever possible.
 
Your Health is Our Priority
When scheduling an appointment at Eastway Medical Clinic, please let our staff know the severity and urgency of your symptoms so we can prioritize your care appropriately. If your symptoms worsen or become severe, we recommend seeking immediate attention at an urgent care center or emergency department.
