For less severe conditions, you should call your family doctor first - and speak them or with their "triage" nurse (pronounced "TREE-ahj"; rhymes with "tree-lodge"). They can help assess how serious your condition is and help you decide which type of facility can provide the most appropriate treatment. Your doctor may be able to squeeze you in for an office visit. Or, if your doctor does send you to an Quick Clinic, urgent care or ER, he or she can give them your relevant medical history, so you can avoid unnecessary tests and get the right care.
