Emergency room visits usually result in a wait time of more than seven hours. For someone who is sick or hurt, that’s a long time to wait. Fortunately, Southern Family Walk-In has a solution for non-routine medical needs that do not require a visit to the emergency room. Jessica Alferink Family Nurse Practitioner of Southern Family Walk- In is available to treat you with the convenience of walk-in appointments, minimal waiting and at a lower cost than emergency rooms.
