Getting sick never happens on anyone’s schedule.
Illness or injury pop up at the most unexpected times, which means you can’t plan ahead when it’s time to get care.
That’s why the MainStreet Family Care on Kildaire Farm Road in Cary is here: to cover your healthcare needs when non-emergency illnesses and minor injuries happen.
Our walk-in clinic is your go-to resource for non-emergency illnesses and minor injuries, as well as a few other vital services (like X-Rays and testing) your family needs to stay healthy.
Here’s a quick guide to when urgent care may be the right option, including when you should seek emergency care instead.
What Does “Walk-In Clinic” Mean?
When you get sick or become injured, a walk-in clinic can help with non-emergency illnesses and minor injuries that need attention soon.
If you have the flu, or a twisted ankle or any other non-life-threatening condition, you can get care for many same-day health concerns without scheduling a traditional appointment. That’s a big appeal of a walk-in clinic in Cary: convenient care that matches your schedule for once.

Want more info on whether or not urgent care is the right fit for you? Below, we listed the most frequent reasons Cary patients pay us a visit:
- Cold and flu symptoms
- Sore throat or possible strep throat

- Sinus pressure and ear pain

On-site Testing and X-Rays
MainStreet Family Care in Cary also handles testing and X-Rays when you need them. Every visit is unique, though, which is why our providers use these diagnostic tools to recommend next steps based on your symptoms or injury.
Urgent Care and the Emergency Room: Which Should You Visit?
Many people ask us, “When should I go to an urgent care clinic instead of the ER?”
Non-emergency needs are perfect for urgent care. But life-threatening conditions require immediate attention. Go to the emergency room or call 9-1-1 right away for:
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Signs of a stroke, such as face drooping, arm weakness, or slurred speech
- Severe bleeding
- Serious head, neck, or back injury
- Major trauma (i.e. from falls, motor vehicle accidents, and blunt force impact)
- Severe abdominal pain
- Any other life-threatening symptoms
These symptoms should not wait.
