Both residents of Maui and visitors to the island can, at any time, have an urgent need for medical attention. Whether the issue involves a sudden injury or illness, or the treatment of a chronic condition, finding doctor’s care is crucial. And there may not be time to arrange an appointment beforehand or to check out which insurance plan a given clinic or office is covered by.
In such a situation, people need a good walk-in clinic they can go to. Doctors in Maui who staff such facilities will see patients without prior appointment. They take as complete a history they can get from a patient and perform a comprehensive examination on-site. Usually, the problem is easily diagnosed and the staff doctors can provide treatment in the office. Some clinics on the island are also able to not only prescribe but also provide needed medication without having to send the patient to a pharmacy afterward. The convenience of on-site dispensing of prescription medication can make a big difference to patients who cannot wait on their schedules. This service also makes a huge difference when it comes to prescriptions which pharmacies cannot easily handle.
A full service walk-in clinic can handle any medical need from urgent care to a routine annual examination. Such facilities offer X-ray examination of fractures. They perform in-house sociological testing, immunizations, testing for TB and other contagious diseases. They provide hormone therapy, and immediate treatment for lacerations and other serious wounds. They assist with refills of prescriptions for controlled medications, and can arrange delivery of prescription medications to the home or hotel if necessary. More mundane services involve sports physicals, drug testing for employment, and planning and prescription for personal birth control. Walk-in clinics usually handle most major insurance and PPO coverage, and will accept workman’s comp and auto accident claims for established patients.
Beyond that, Doctors in Maui and their staffs who run walk-in clinics provide not only professional care but also a relaxing environment for their patients. Where children are concerned, this can be particularly important. The emotional well-being of the patient is as important as their physical care, and the clinic staff do their best to soothe any anxieties patient or family members may have.
