I called a clinic and they said they do not have appointments to see a regular doctor. What should I do?
Unfortunately, because of the bad economy, wait times may be very long, sometimes many months.
If you need urgent care:
- For emergencies, Call 911 or use the nearest emergency room.
- If it is not a medical emergency, call a clinic and tell them you need urgent care
- Try calling other clinics that may be further from you
- See if you can be seen during drop-in hours at a free clinic
If you need a regular doctor:
- Ask how to make an appointment to become a clinic member. Once you are a clinic member, wait times are shorter.
