FAQs
Should I go to the ER or a walk-in clinic?
If you have a condition that is life-threatening or could cause permanent harm, go to the ER immediately. Memorial Family Practice is a good option for less severe problems like colds, minor cuts, or sprains. If you are unsure, the safest choice is always to come to the Emergency Department.
Will I have a long wait?
Wait times can vary depending on how many patients are in the ER and the severity of their conditions. We understand that waiting is stressful, and our team works hard to see every patient as quickly as possible. We will do our best to keep you updated during your wait.
Can my family be with me?
Yes. We believe that family support is an important part of healing. In most situations, we welcome one or two family members or support persons to be with you in the ER.
