Shouldn’t I go to a convenience clinic for acute care of emergencies?
Many patients do not realize that Family Physicians of Carmel keep open acute care appointments throughout the day and even extra during cold and flu season. This allows us to give same-day service for acute care and helps prevent our patients from waiting hours in line at a convenience clinic. The medical expertise at these facilities varies widely from clinic to clinic and from physician to physician. Whenever possible we try to meet the needs of all of our patients. Our clients often voice concern that they do not want to take up our valuable time with minor illnesses. Since we already have a complete medical history and background on each of our patients, we feel we are much more efficient and capable of taking care of acute problems for patients we already know.
