Urgent Care Vs Minute Clinic

Paramus Urgent Care Vs Minute Clinic at AFC Urgent Care

What’s the Difference Between AFC Urgent Care Paramus & ‘Retail Clinics’?

At this point, you may have noticed the numerous “minute clinics" that are opening up all around the country. These walk-in medical clinics are typically located inside superstores or recognizable pharmacies. While they’re capable of performing a range of medical services, however basic, they don’t possess the resources, experienced staff and convenience of urgent care centers, particularly AFC Urgent Care Paramus.

Our full breakdown of these differences begin with the versatility of our center versus a minute clinic. With a board-certified physician always on staff here at AFC Urgent Care Paramus, we have the ability to offer ER-quality diagnosis and treatment, along with occupational health and vaccination services. Minute Clinics, on the other hand, are often staffed by just one employee, who doesn’t have the experience and qualifications that our board-certified physicians have.

Retail Clinic

  • No Register or Check-In Online
  • Limited Lab Testing Services (usually simple tests such as blood pressure checks)
  • No State-of-the-Art On-Site lab
  • Clinics Predominantly Not Staffed By Physicians
  • Very Minor Treatment Services (small cuts, colds, etc…)

Urgent Care

  • Board-Certified Physician ALWAYS on-staff
  • Easy & Simple Online Check-In
  • On-Site Lab Equipped With Apparatus Necessary For X-Ray, Urinalysis, Blood Testing & more
  • Full Occupational Health Program (Drug Testing, DOT Physicals, Pre-Employment Physicals, etc…)
  • Most Insurances Accepted & Extremely Affordable Self-Pay Options Offered

For more information about the range of services we offer, call us at 201.564.0953. And next time you’re in need of walk-in medical services, skip the minute clinic and instead visit us at AFC Urgent Care in Paramus, NJ!

AFC Urgent Care FAQs

  • When should I choose urgent care?

    If you’re dealing with a pressing, non-life-threatening medical issue and don’t want to see a doctor, urgent care could be for you. AFC walk-in clinics are able to see patients dealing with allergic reactions, broken bones, colds and flus, and much more.

  • Do I need insurance to visit AFC?

    At AFC we offer very competitive rates for self-pay urgent care and walk-in clinic services. We understand that not everyone may have an insurance plan and we make sure that our out-of-pocket patients are given the same high-quality medical treatment that we give to all our patients.

  • How long will my visit take?

    The main advantage of choosing AFC is our short wait times – often under 15 minutes. The total length of your visit will depend on what you’re being seen for, but many patients can be in and out of our clinics in around 30 minutes.
