Sick Visits and Minor Injury Care at Baker Health

 We prioritize same-day and next-day appointments for these situations. In most cases, calling early in the day increases the likelihood of being seen the same day. This quick turnaround helps prevent symptoms from worsening and allows treatment to start promptly.

 Walk-ins are welcome for urgent but non-emergency concerns, though scheduling an appointment ensures the shortest wait time. Our flexible scheduling and online booking system make it simple to secure a time that works best for you.

 Yes, our team treats patients of all ages, including infants, children, and teens. We are equipped to address pediatric-specific conditions like ear infections, strep throat, and minor injuries while ensuring your child feels comfortable and safe during their visit.

 We handle minor cuts, scrapes, mild burns, sprains, and suspected minor fractures. We also address swelling, bruising, and joint injuries. For more severe cases—such as heavy bleeding, major fractures, or head trauma—patients should go directly to an emergency room.
